Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a serious health concern affecting nearly half of the U.S. population. According to the Centers for Disease Control, heart disease is the leading cause of death and every 34 seconds in the United States someone dies from cardiovascular disease. More concerning, only one in four have their blood pressure under control. Because hypertension often has no symptoms, it may go undetected for years, damaging the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys.

Fortunately, in the 1990s, researchers discovered two amazing things:
• Diet can lower blood pressure without medication.
• Certain foods seem to play an important role in this.

Thus, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet was born. Of course, it’s not a diet in the weight-loss sense, because it neither deprives nor restricts you. Instead, it’s an eating pattern that encourages you to add health-promoting foods to your plate and helps you plan and find new ways to cook flavorful meals. Experts around the world agree: DASH really works. It’s no wonder that the 2025 High Blood Pressure Guidelines, released by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, advise lifestyle changes, including maintaining or achieving a healthy weight and following a heart-healthy eating pattern such as DASH.

This handy book is a how-to guide on the DASH diet, including how your heart works and what lifestyle changes you can make to lower your blood pressure and have better health. We begin by sharing how DASH was created (so you can understand the science behind why it works), how it can help with numerous health conditions, and how to apply DASH eating principles in your everyday life. To that end, we provide a variety of recipes to get you started. We also include valuable information about making lifestyle changes, such as becoming more physically active and managing stress. Making these sorts of healthy lifestyle changes is easier than you may think, and we’re here to show you how. By adopting a DASH eating pattern and heart-healthy lifestyle, you will lower your blood pressure and improve your long-term health to boot. Have no fear — living a healthier life feels good, and the food tastes delicious!
