What’s the most difficult thing about switching to the DASH diet?
I think the hardest thing is changing habits. If you think about it, how we eat is something we’ve been practicing all our lives. For most people, the difficulty is in moving past the bad eating habits they’ve acquired over the years and replacing them with better eating habits as suggested by the DASH diet. The best way to address changes in your diet is to remember that eating is a decision. Each time you eat, you make a decision about what goes in your body. You’re in control of those decisions, and as long as you‘re honest with yourself you can make better decisions about what you eat to help facilitate lowering your high blood pressure.
