The DASH Diet for Hypertension
More than 50 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure, and most of them control it by taking prescription drugs with potentially dangerous side effects; and nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes.

• Complete and balanced nutrition for safe short-term and long-term weight loss
• A scientifically proven approach to managing diabetes and heart disease without prescription medication
• A hearty and healthful selection of DASH menus, recipes, and grocery lists
• DASH exercise programs for everyday living
• Key tools including calorie worksheets and a formula to calculate body mass . . . and much more from this revolutionary program, which is recommended by the American Heart Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the American Society for Hypertension; and other leading medical authorities.
