Hypertension is one of the most significant health concerns in the United States. High blood pressure puts a person at a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure.

It was important for scientists to discover what types of foods a person could eat that would decrease their likelihood of blood pressure-related issues and so the DASH diet was created.

DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This low-sodium diet is specifically designed to reduce blood pressure levels in people and help you combat other illnesses such as heart disease, obesity, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

Participants of this diet have reported lower levels of hypertension, and this diet has beneficial qualities for people suffering from Type 2 diabetes.

Research in the field proved that the Mediterranean diet can prevent the appearance of heart-related illnesses, strokes, and even diabetes, as well as lower the risk of dementia and depression.

The Mediterranean Diet is not just a diet, but it's a way of life. It's a different way to eat, prepare, and cook food. And we can say – no doubt - a healthier way.
