DASH Diet Cuts Heart-Disease Risk

April 15, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Women following a diet designed to reduce blood pressure are less prone to coronary heart disease and stroke, says a new study. Diets based on Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) are low in animal protein, moderate in low-fat dairy products and high in plant proteins, fruits and vegetables, and have been shown to reduce blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein ("bad") cholesterol. The latest study monitored 88,517 female nurses age 34 to 59 in the Nurses' Health Study who did not have cardiovascular disease or diabetes in 1980. After 24 years of follow-up study, it was observed that higher DASH scores were linked to a lower risk for heart disease and stroke.
