DASH diet: What to eat
The DASH diet is a balanced eating plan that gives choices of what to eat. The diet helps create a heart-healthy eating style for life. There's no need for special foods or drinks. Foods in the diet are at grocery stores and in most restaurants.
When following DASH, it is important to choose foods that are:
- Rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, fiber and protein.
- Low in saturated fat.
- Low in salt.
