Diet & stroke
A medical research was just released about the DASH-style diet, concluding that it lowers the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.
Past research already concluded that the DASH-style diet lowers blood pressure.
- DASH = Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (pamphlet)
- Hypertension = an abnormally high blood pressure
The research was conducted over a 24-year span (1980-2004) and was based on 88,517 women who were between the ages of 34-59 at the start of the study.
This outcome should serve as a reminder that our bodies thrive on basic nutrients and that we can do quite a bit to enhance good health, especially if we start young.
Bon appetit!
