Every day a new diet and a new strategy comes out and many followers have asked us for an opinion on this “new” diet …

So here we are for a dash diet review and how it works

In fact it is not a “diet”, but an approach to reduce blood pressure

Diet for Hypertension
In English it means “dietary approach to stop hypertension”

It is in fact an approach that was born for medical and therapeutic modivi … already this should make everyone understand that it is not a diet that can be done at will, to lose kilos, etc.

Unfortunately, in fact, some diets that are born for therapeutic purposes are often used improperly as slimming diets

The complete dash diet includes foods that are rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium. They are all nutrients that help control blood pressure

Consequently, foods with high sodium, saturated fat and added sugars are limited

In fact, it is based on research showing that it is possible to reduce blood pressure in two weeks!

What does the Dash diet consist of?
The Dash Diet aims to reduce sodium in the diet, so for example a weekly dash menu diet will include certain foods and eliminate others.

Even if a “flexible” plan is defined, it is essentially an exclusion diet and mainly the consumption of foods rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium, rich in fiber and protein is stimulated

We can already understand that it is not a real weight loss diet but allows you to lose weight simply because foods are excluded and the consumption of foods that satiate more and give fewer calories is encouraged.

If you don’t have a real health reason, pressure problems, or hypertension, it isn’t helpful to embark on such a diet

Even worse if the only purpose is to “lose weight”, as we have often said, the difference between crash diets and flexible diets is precisely the fact that weight is lost badly … and we tend to take it back with interest

In addition, if you do not have a real health reason that pushes you to eliminate certain foods and forces you to eat only a few, it will be difficult to maintain the diet for a long time.

Sooner or later you will give up and resume bad habits

Dash Diet Benefits
That said, if you have high blood pressure or high blood pressure issues this is a helpful diet that a doctor might recommend

Studies have shown that after two weeks it is able to reduce blood pressure.

It is also able to reduce bad cholesterol levels (this is obviously not due to the “diet” but to the fact that more fiber and lean proteins are consumed “).

In conclusion, if you are serious about losing weight and never regaining the lost pounds, a flexible plan remains the smartest choice.

This is because it does not eliminate any food from your diet, it allows you to lose weight by eating how you want and therefore allows you not to have the yo-yo effect like every time you start eating the foods you like after the diet.
