Healthy Eating Plans - The DASH Diet

Pliny the Elder talked about taking salt as an antidote to poison. Hence the phrase "take it with a grain of  salt."  Pliny’s Naturalis Historia, 77 A.D.

DASH, or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is a proven diet used by physicians for patients with hypertension. It is recommended for the whole family by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010.
