Shiriki K. Kumanyika, Ph.D., R.D., M.P.H. Center for Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine This book is amazingly clear, comprehensive, and user-friendly. There is a lot of "what to do" and "how to do it." And also "why" for the consumer who wants to understand why to choose DASH over the other diets that are out there. This book will even convince the skeptics who don't believe that ordinary foods can make a big difference. There is no trick here. Aram V. Chobanian, M.D. Dean, Boston University Medical School The DASH diet is an exciting, new nutritional approach to the management of hypertension, and its effectiveness has been well documented by carefully controlled scientific studies. I recommend it not only for hypertensive patients but also for nutritionists, medical practitioners, and anyone interested in adopting a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Ronald Krauss Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, Chair, American Heart Association Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism An excellent, user-friendly resource for people with high blood pressure, as well as anyone who wants to improve their heart health. Thomas Pickering, M.D. Director, Integrative and Behavioral Cardiac Health Program and Hypertension Section, Mount Sinai School of Medicine This is not just another fad diet, but one that is scientifically proven to be the best for people who are concerned about their blood pressure. The DASH studies were a major breakthrough in the prevention and treatment of hypertension, and the diet is now described in a practical and straightforward manner. Dr. Patricia Elmer Senior Nutrition Investigator, Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research Member, Nutrition Committee, American Heart Association Excellent! A medication-free alternative to help millions of Americans lower their high blood pressure and live healthier, longer lives. Norman K. Hollenberg, M.D., Ph.D. Professor of Medicine and Radiology, Harvard Medical School This book fills an unmet need, providing clear and simple guidelines supported by solid data obtained from outstanding studies. I have no doubt that it will work.
Reseña del editor:
The DASH diet represents a major breakthrough in modern medical science. The simple but precise DASH diet formula dramatically lowers blood pressure and thus provides an effective treatment for one of the most common and deadly diseases in the western world, hypertension. It is just as effective as a typical drug for hypertension. And it works in young and old, male and female, and all ethnic groups In addition to significantly lowering blood pressure naturally and without drugs, the DASH diet is consistent with diets currently recommended to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis. It was also scientifically proven to improve the way a person feels. The unique feature of the DASH diet is that it is high in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products (all typically underrepresented in the American diet), and also that it uses these foods in the right combinations. The book includes sections on how to follow the DASH diet to lose weight, on combining DASH with salt reduction for even greater blood pressure reduction, and on simple but effective "tricks" to get started and stick with the DASH diet.
