How effective is the DASH diet at lowering high blood pressure?
To date there are about 80+ papers in scientific literature on the DASH diet. We no longer see the DASH diet as just a means to lower high blood pressure. It has become an overall healthier way to eat, and in fact the DASH diet and the food pyramid are now the models for the way the U.S. Dietetic Association recommends that all Americans should eat. The DASH diet is, though, still very effective as a means for lowering high blood pressure. That has not changed.
