Review by Library Journal Review

Originally self-published in 2002, the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is based on studies conducted by the National Institutes of Health. Dietician Heller here presents a diet plan that will help readers who suffer from hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. Her plan supports the now-standard precept that eating a variety of good food-especially fruits, vegetables, and whole grains-plus adhering to a regular exercise program will result in weight loss, which, in turn, will benefit one's arteries and improve one's metabolism.
