Out of every chronic condition in the world,high blood pressure is ranked as the most common.One in eight people who die each year succumbs to symptoms of high blood pressure or hypertension.

But since the major cause of hypertension stems from the kinds of foods we consume, it only makes sense that we follow the wise words ofHippocrates:
"Let ... medicine be the food "


The DASH diet has been named the number 1 diet for the past six years and it's recommended by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.


What are the origins of this diet?

In 1992, six medical institutes were involved in a study with the goal to figure out how our particular eating patterns, for better or worse, affect our blood pressure.
The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) study was carried out mainly on foods available at local grocery stores and had three experimental groups:

• Thefirst group had to consumemainly fruits and vegetables. They were also allowed the usual American diet. This includes foods high in fat and protein, but low in fiber, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. By doing so, even though this group had levels of potassium and magnesium equal to that of about 75% of Americans, their fiber consumption was pretty high because of the veggies and fruits.
• Thesecond groupwas told to eat in line with the DASH diet. Like the first group, they were to consume high proportions of vegetables and fruits. Group two had high magnesium, potassium, calcium, and fiber content. Their diet consisted mainly of whole grains, fish, nuts, and, of course, fruits and veggies.
• Thethird groupwas the control of the experiment. Group 3 was to follow the typical U.S. diet. This diet was rich in protein and fat but low in fiber, magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

The result was that people in the second group managed to reduce blood pressure and to become healthier.
