I’ve done my fair share of reading the ‘brand name’ DASH diet books and cookbooks.  I’ve even read all the versions. Many of them are full of fluff and weighted down. Most folks suffering from hypertension or high blood pressure have already taken the time to learn about their ailments and diseases. At the very least, the doctors, nurses or pharmacists have taken the time to discuss the problems and medications. No one should be walking around blindly. I tend to get bugged by health books that bog down with scientific fluff. We know we are unhealthy and we know we need to lose weight.  Quite often, we don’t need the scientific mumbo jumbo because we are going to skip to the good stuff anyway.The Wonder of DASH takes everything from the big book and condenses it down with no fillers. It does touch on high blood pressure, but it doesn’t draw it out for 3 chapters like some of the other books. The book was an easy read and well worth the price for the amount of information. It’s a non nonsense guide to working through the DASH diet, hitting on all the necessary key elements. What I loved was that it contains meal plans and recipes along with the basic teachings of the plan. It has everything you need to get you started on a healthier way of eating, The DASH Diet.
