The DASH Diet for Hypertension Thomas Moore et al 2003, 345 pp $6.99 softcover The DASH diet offers readers more than the latest trend in weight loss schemes. Although society and medical technology persist in urging us to use pharmaceuticals to gain control of our blood pressure, the DASH (ie, dietary approaches to stop hypertension) diet offers common sense and basic dietary principles as an alternative approach. The DASH diet study was supported and conducted by the National Institutes of Health. Hundreds of physicians, nurses, statisticians, and nutritionists at Harvard, Duke, and Johns Hopkins medical schools played vital roles in making the DASH study a turning point in hypertension breakthroughs. Results of a large study of patients with hypertension who followed the DASH diet for eight weeks revealed a noticeable drop in participants' diastolic and systolic blood pressures and a dramatic reduction in their homocysteine and cholesterol levels. Many study participants were able to stop using their antihypertensive medications after following the diet.

A whole-foods plan, it was designed by scientists whose affiliations include Harvard and Johns Hopkins and is based on a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Their impressive credentials make the fluff in the book seem all the more odd. For example, the authors explain "food safety basics" in great detail, andstop me if you've heard this onethey advise you to never shop for food on an empty stomach. Nonetheless, the 61 low-fat, reduced-salt recipes offer a variety of choices, and two weeks of menus (during which, the book asserts, high blood pressure readings should drop an average of 12 points) provide an organized way to follow the plan.

Although I am a physically fit black man, I still must resort to exercise, medication and dietary changes to battle hypertension. Yet there is a growing debate in medical circles about the ethics of race-based medical research. I only wish my younger brother Rodney were here to participate in the argument. He was in great shape, lifted weights, had nearly zero body fat and lived a healthy lifestyle with his family. Rodney went to bed a few weeks ago, feeling as if he simply had the flu. He died in his sleep. An autopsy showed no signs of long-term heart failure, no evidence of diabetes, no illegal drugs. The cause of death: hypertensive cardiovascular disease. Rodney was 39.

Diet To Your Door New research suggests that an overhaul of dietary and fitness habits to help prevent or control high blood pressure is feasible with proper coaching, contrary to the theory that too many changes would be overwhelming and ineffective for most people. The best results in the study were achieved when weight loss, salt restriction and exercise were paired with the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products. The results of the study, conducted at Duke University Medical Center, Johns Hopkins, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and the Center for Health Research, were published in the April 23, 2003, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study, called PREMIER, is funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Current national recommendations for lowering blood pressure include weight loss, reduced sodium intake, increased physical activity, limited alcohol consumption and DASH diet. The DASH diet increases fruit, vegetable and low-fat dairy consumption, while limiting fats, red meat, sweets and beverages containing sugar. In a study by some of these researchers and others published in 1997 in the New England Journal of Medicine, the DASH diet lowered blood pressure rates without medication, weight loss or reduction of salt intake.

Angina, Diabetes, Hypertension and Your Diet back Question: My brother-in-law has angina, diabetes, and hypertension and takes a lot of medicine. Recently he started going to a new doctor. This doctor claims that if my brother-in-law exercises and follows a special diet, he won't need his medicines anymore. Is this possible? Answer: Diet is one of the biggest killers in America. Overeating is linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and back problems, among other things. Diet can not only cause these problems, but proper diet can often go a long way to cure them, too. It's been shown that proper diet can actually reverse the fatty buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis) that causes much heart disease. In addition, once on a proper diet, patients can improve in a matter of days to the point that medicines for blood pressure and angina can be decreased or sometimes eliminated. Diabetics can also partly or completely control their disease with diet. Of course, it's important to monitor patients closely if blood pressure medications or medicines for angina are being changed or reduced. For that reason, residential programs are often used to teach a healthier lifestyle. Patients are monitored closely by trained personnel, and partners are also encouraged to attend to learn about the changes in diet and activity they should expect. Exercise is like a miracle drug in many ways. It has good effects on elevated blood sugar, as well as high levels of fats in the blood like cholesterol. It improves the relative and absolute levels of total cholesterol, high density cholesterol, and low density cholesterol. Appropriate amounts of exercise will increase exercise tolerance, too, and will help stamina.

About YNHHS Members News Patients/Consumers ... Jobs Health News Feature Weekly news feature articles on current health topics that affect you and your family. Facing Up to the Menace of Hypertension If high blood pressure (hypertension) isn't kept in check, you can almost count on a parade of bad things in your future. The list is long, but try heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure, just for starters. Few conditions as dangerous to your health are so easy to control as high blood pressure, at least for the vast majority of people who have it. Testing for it is quick, easy, and painless, and there are cheap well-tested drugs that generally control it. Lifestyle often contributes to hypertension, and diet or exercise, or both, can reverse it. Yet, widespread control of high blood pressure remains a frustrating and elusive struggle. It's a conundrum. About 65 million American adults have high blood pressure, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health. Despite a steady drumbeat of public health warnings and alerts, about 11 percent of those whose blood pressure is too high aren't on any therapy (special diet or drugs) at all and 25 percent are getting inadequate therapy, according to the American Heart Association. Only 34 percent have therapy that meets their needs. The blame lies everywhere. For one thing, many people don't get their blood pressure tested. Since hypertension has no symptoms as it goes about its dirty work, people have no idea they are skating on increasingly thin ice. What's more, many people with high blood pressure don't take their prescribed drugs regularly. This is a phenomenon that doctors call noncompliance, short for not complying with medical advice. On the other hand, doctors themselves may be prescribing the wrong drugs, or not combining them properly.

Search NetWellness Diet and Nutrition The DASH Diet Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Hypertension and Weight Loss Most healthcare professionals agree that disease prevention is less costly (physically and financially) - than disease treatment. Take hypertension, for example. Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects over 50 million adults each year and is responsible for a number of deaths due to stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Controlling hypertension is vital in preventing these complications. Many people think that decreasing their salt intake is the only way to control hypertension. However, other dietary changes are equally important in the control of hypertension. Weight loss is also beneficial. Being overweight raises the risk of hypertension two to six times more than if you're at normal weight. Obese individuals are also more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. Being overweight raises the risk of hypertension two to six times more than if you're at normal weight.

DASH Diet T he DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Diet is an eating pattern clinically proven to lower blood pressure in hypertensive men and women, regardless of race. Sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, DASH's effect on blood pressure reduction was similar to that seen in other studies using anti-hypertensive medications. The authors of the study commented that "following the DASH combination diet might be an effective alternative to drug therapy in people with stage 1 hypertension and might prevent or delay the initiation of drug therapy in people with blood pressure levels that straddle the thresholds for drug treatment." The authors also suggest that following the DASH diet might be an effective nutritional approach for preventing hypertension, based on the blood pressure reductions observed in the subjects without hypertension. Adoption of the DASH diet could potentially shift the population distribution of blood pressure downward, reducing the occurrence of blood pressure-related cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that a population-wide reduction in systolic or diastolic blood pressure of the magnitude observed with the DASH diet would reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease by 15 percent and stroke by 27 percent.

New research shows people who cut down on salt and alcohol while losing weight and getting regular exercise do indeed control their blood pressure. Going a step further by adopting a low-fat diet high in fruits and vegetables works even better, but the added benefit isn't quite as great as many researchers may have suspected. Even so, the scientists say, the results indicate people can pick and choose from a buffet of lifestyle changes to make a dent in their blood pressure. "You can combine all these things together, and that's pretty encouraging," says Victor J. Stevens, a psychologist at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore., and a co-author of the study. Nearly 50 million Americans, or about a quarter of the adult population, have high blood pressure defined as a reading of at least 140 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) for the systolic (the top number) and 90 mmHg for the diastolic (the bottom number). High blood pressure raises the risk of heart attacks and stroke and can seriously damage other organs, including the kidneys. The ideal blood pressure is 120/80.
