Many
of approximately 50 million Americans who have high blood
pressure are unaware that they have this "silent

Shaking the salt
habit helps control blood pressure. But study findings
show that the DASH
Diet -Dietary
Approaches
to Stopping
Hypertension (a
diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat
dairy, nuts & legumes) is a
more effective way of lowering blood
pressure.

The DASH eating plan may also help reduce
blood cholesterol levels. A calorie-controlled
DASH diet can also be part of a safe
& healthy weight loss program. |
