DASH

l     DASH ( dietary approach to stop hypertension) /dieta recomandata pentru stoparea hipertensiunii arteriale , este o dieta bogata in fructe si legume si saraca in grasimi. Dieta a fost conceputa de specialistii US department of Health and Human Services National Institute of Health , National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute si validata in studii clinice. Rezultatele unui studiu statistic arata ca din 4386 pacienti urmariti in perioada 1999-2004 doar 19,4% aveau o dieta in concordanta cu recomandarile DASH. Mijloace active de implementare in practica a acestor recomandari dietetice sunt necesare.
