This review is from: Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH (Paperback)
As the other reviewers have said, this IS an excellent overview of the DASH program for lowering blood pressure. If you're ready to change your daily eating habits and you've already bought-into the idea and just need a little guidance, then this small volume is probably all you need.
There are whole books about the DASH diet, including several very good ones by Thomas Moore and other health-care professionals who participated in the studies, but large portions of those books are dedicated to the study itself and to convincing you this is the way to go. If you don't need convincing, then this booklet will probably suffice. However, before you spend $9 here, check out the National Health Lung and Blood Institute's web site, where you can download, view, and print the PDF file for FREE, or you can purchase a single copy from them for only $3.50. The NIH has many free and low-cost booklets and pamphlets about hypertension, high cholesterol, and about a thousand other health topics, so it's definitely worth checking out. I can't place the URL in this post because the review won't get published, but you can do a quick search and find it easily enough. The site is a dot-gov, so you'll know when you see it. Best of luck to you!

Great collection of information,
This review is from: Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH (Paperback)
This guide is a quick read but has all the basic information on how diet, exercise, and medication affect hypertension. The DASH program has become quite popular, and this is a great summary from the source of the program.
