DASH Diet/ How to lower cholesterol and fat in a few weeks

A well-known and recently recommended eating pattern by health experts is the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), designed to help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.

DASH is a balanced eating plan that focuses on natural, nutrient-rich foods that help control blood pressure and cholesterol, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, proteins like fish and chicken, and nuts and seeds. It limits salt, saturated fat, and added sugar.

How does it work?

Lowering blood pressure : The diet is designed to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, even within a few weeks of starting it in many people.

Cholesterol reduction: Foods rich in fiber and healthy fats help reduce "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and improve the lipid profile.

Reducing fat and cardiovascular risk: In addition to reducing body fat, DASH helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

The diet includes whole, natural foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy proteins, and encourages limiting processed foods, excess salt and saturated fats. /CNA
