Why aren’t we all on a DASH Diet!  Reading this book has given me a whole new appreciation for eating the right foods to achieve a healthy lifestyle.  In this book Kevin Douglas goes into detail about how our body system works, how easily our hearts are put at risk by eating the wrong kinds of foods, what causes hypertension and its debilitating results on our health.  Delivered in a clinical manner, this part of the book paints a graphic picture of what happens if we consume too much of the wrong types of fat, salt, sugar.The solution, Kevin writes, is the DASH Diet.  What is really interesting is that the DASH diet does not mean depriving yourself of foods that are tasty, even desserts are OK.  It’s all about increasing your fruit and veggie intake, eating meats in moderation and cooking your food the right way.  What I really enjoyed were the recipes.  There are plenty here to get you going.  For starters  I tried the eggplant with toasted spices … it was positively yums!  The next day I cooked pork chops with black currant jam.  Another winner!  I recommend this book to anyone interested in taking control of their health … oh yeah!  BONUS … you might even lose weight with the  DASH Diet!
