Describe the characteristics of DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension)
A proven eating pattern that can help people to reduce their sodium and increase their potassium intakes, and thereby often reduce their blood pressure, is DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). This pattern calls for greatly increased intakes of potassium-rich fruits and vegetables, with adequate amounts of nuts, fish, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. At the same time, red meat, butter, other high-fat foods, and sweets are held to occasional small portions.
