It’s true! You can turn back the clock! Be younger in only
90 days!
A healthful dietary pattern can have a dramatic effect on
aging arteries and blunts the dramatic age-related rise in the prevalence of
hypertension seen in the United States. Dr. Frank Sacks, professor of
cardiovascular disease prevention at Harvard, states that, “the DASH diet and
low sodium [intake] abolishes 30 years of blood pressure aging in four weeks.”
These benefits are independent of the weight loss seen with the DASH diet.
The DASH diet emphasizes poultry, fish, nuts, and beans instead
of red meat. It also makes extensive use of low and non-fat dairy products,
fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The traditional Mediterranean diet is very
similar.
The benefits of the DASH diet are much greater in older
people as compared to younger people – many experts believe it to be twice as
effective.
