A Personalised DASH diet (Dietary approaches to stop hypertension)

The DASH diet is a highly researched diet for hypertension promoted by the National Institutes of Health in the USA and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute as a way to significantly decrease both your systolic and diastolic blood pressure through dietary management. 

If a patient has blood pressure in the pre-hypertensive or lower hypertensive range, a trial of dietary and exercise management should always be presented to a patient as an evidence-based approach to bring down their blood pressure!

The DASH diet achieved blood pressure drops of around 11.4 mmHg systolic (top figure) and 5.5 mmHg in diastolic (bottom figure) blood pressures without any drop in weight and this diet also produced impressive blood pressure drops in those regarded as being in the pre-hypertensive range¹.

One-Size-Fits-All vs Precision Nutrition 

The DASH diet as good as it is for hypertension, is still a one-size-fits-all approach. The DASH diet using precision nutrition will be far superior as the diet can be tailored to your genetic make and even your microbiome. Find practitioners to help you in this quest for better health.
