DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) was specifically designed to lower blood pressure and improve heart health. It emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy while limiting sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars. This balanced, evidence-based approach is excellent for overall health and is recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide.
