The DASH diet was selected by a panel of physicians and other doctoral-level health professionals as the #1 diet by US News & World Report (June 7, 2011). Why? Because the DASH diet has been the subject of more research than any other diet. And each new study continues to show additional benefits, including reducing blood pressure and cholesterol; supporting healthy weight loss; lowering risk of stroke, heart attacks, and heart failure; lowering risk of several kinds of cancer (including new research showing lower risk of breast cancer), kidney stones, and type 2 diabetes. And as you might expect, the same panel selected the DASH diet as the healthiest eating plan (November 1, 2011).
The DASH
diet has been the subject of several research studies which continue to hit the news.
One of the big news stories was regarding women who had followed a DASH eating pattern for
over 20 years and had fewer heart attacks and strokes than those who did not. A second story that month, reported on a research
study showing that the DASH diet could also benefit teens with high blood
pressure. The DASH diet truly is a healthy diet for almost everyone! | |

that in general, American's eating patterns have gotten worse over the past
few decades, with fewer people eating enough fruits, vegetables, and dairy

diet.
The DASH diet was developed in research sponsored by the National Institutes
of Health, and is recommended by the American Heart Association, the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, and is part of the US treatment guidelines for
hypertension. The DASH Diet Action Plan was designed to be the user-friendly
guide to help people adopt the DASH diet.
