Most of the information in the DASH DIET makes sense for people interested in living healthy.  Dash (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is full of hits to help lower blood pressure and live healthy.  The recipes were all from scratch using lots of whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables.  The five foods to lower high blood pressure were helpful & easy to eat as snacks for the most part, so they could be taken to work for an alternative to vending machines candies full of calories and not much else.  Avoiding foods process, fast and high calorie foods in favor of more fruit and vegetables with fish and poultry instead of red meat are advocated for a healthy heart. Add time for exercise with the family and keeping weight down to round out the program.  Recipes were all from scratch, which was fine with us because we have several food allergies and it is easier for us to avoid problem foods so they recipes we tried (5 of them) were all good.
