Whether you want to prevent heart disease, lower your blood

pressure, increase your energy level or attain those weight loss

goals from New Year's, right now is the perfect time to take

control of your health. With February-American Heart Month-just

ending and March-National Nutrition Month®-blowing in, you have

plenty of motivation and support to make positive nutritional

changes.

The American Heart Association recommends DASH (Dietary

Approaches to Stop Hypertension) as a nutritional program all

Americans should follow, and it is also featured in the USDA's

2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the U.S. High Blood

Pressure Guidelines.

Not another fad, the DASH Diet was developed by researchers and

based on scientifically sound nutritional principles. This eating

plan, which is rich in nutrient-dense fruits, vegetables, whole

grains and low-fat dairy and reduced in red meat, fats, and

sweets, been documented to help both women and men effectively

lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, maintain a strong,

well-functioning heart, lose weight and simply feel better all

around.

Typically, dieters will stick with a program for two or three

weeks, then give up when it becomes too difficult to maintain.

The DASH Diet is easy to adopt as part of a long-term lifestyle.

It does not require strict calorie counting, supplementation or

the elimination of any food group or category. Rather, it

incorporates real foods that are commonly found in any grocery

store, allows dieters to choose how they plan to meet their

serving goals with foods that they enjoy, and offers simple yet

inventive recipes for a change of pace.

The DASH for Health program, based on the Dash Diet, is

designed to help members improve their eating and exercise

habits, lose weight sensibly and feel healthier with recipes,

fitness tips, online meal tracking and more. In various follow-up

studies, people who participated in the online program offered by

DASH for Health were consistently found to have lost weight

and lowered their blood pressure significantly. In fact, after

only a few weeks, many participants observe that they feel

healthier, slimmer and even younger, as a result of the increased

energy they experience.

Best of all, by following the program consistently, you'll enjoy

a stronger heart, a slimmer body and a healthier you throughout

2008-and for your entire life!
