The DASH diet, short for "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension," focuses on consuming fresh fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. Studies have shown that those who follow the DASH diet experienced a significant drop in blood pressure when compared to the typical American diet. Additionally, when combined with reduced sodium intake, the effects on blood pressure were even more substantial, especially for those who consumed 1500 milligrams or less of sodium per day.
On the other hand, the Mediterranean diet, inspired by traditional diets in Italy and Greece, shares similarities with the DASH diet. It incorporates more unsaturated fats, primarily from olive oil, which is known to be a healthy form of fat.
Join us as we dive into the science behind these diets and explore which one might be the best fit for you in your journey to lower blood pressure.
