Dash Diet 2012

Dash Diet 2012 For all people with a 2012 New Years resolution to get into shape– the DASH Diet may be of interest to you. For the second year in a row the DASH Diet has been ranked as the best overall diet by U.S. News and World Reports. Although it isn’t known for dropping extreme amounts of weight, it is considered one of the healthiest diet out there, geared towards improving overall health. Most doctors agree that the nutritional value of the diet is incomparable as it lowers blood pressure and can help prevent heart disease. Runners up were the TLC diet and the Mediterranean diet. For overall weight loss, Weight Watchers took the number one spot while second place was a tie between Jenny Craig, Biggest Loser, and the Raw Food diet. The rest of the diets in the running included the Dukan diet, the Abs diet, the Macrobiotic diet and the Flat Belly diet. Dash Diet 2012 I think that while losing weight should be a priority for many people, becoming healthier in general with the DASH diet shouldn’t be underestimated. Of course we all want to look better in a swim suit, but to improve our entire health and life’s longevity is much better. I wrote yesterday about how to eat less in 2012, but I think people interested in being healthier should look into eating better as the DASH diet suggests. +Dash Diet Eating Plan DASH stands for “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension”. When you look at the breakdown of the DASH diet you can see that it’s really just eating the way that a nutritionist would suggest. The diet eating plan includes: – fat-free or low-fat milk and dairy products – fruits and vegetables – whole grains – lean meat, fish, poultry – nuts, seeds, legumes Dash Diet 2012 The diet emphasizes good eating habits, discourages eating junk food and processed foods– to which it suggests alternatives. The USDA now suggests it as a prototype for healthy eating for Americans. I’ve mentioned before that I’m the daughter of a Registered Dietician and was raised how to eat properly. The first thing that crossed my mind when I read about the DASH diet is that this nothing new or particularly special. I almost feel like it’s nutrition 101, but is effective with people across the country because the word “diet” is in its title. So, in a way, it’s almost tricking people to eat right because let’s be honest, the word diet has a lot of clout with people. But whatever works. So many people struggle with obesity and heart disease in this country that if they need the word “diet” to change the way they eat, more power to them. Recent: Famous Fitness Gurus Dash Diet 2012
