Is there a food plan for 2 completely different people?

Question

I'll be getting married soon and want to cook healthy for us. He works out daily and has high blood pressure. I have struggled with weight, still have about 20-25 lbs to lose, work 10-12 hrs/day leaving no time for exercise (I do physical work). What diet plan will work for the two of us?

Answer 1

People with hypertension (high blood pressure) or prehypertension may be told by their physicians to adopt the DASH diet. The DASH diet eating plan has been proven to lower blood pressure in studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). The DASH diet involves eating more fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy. The full DASH diet plan is shown below.

In addition to being recommended by your physician, DASH is also recommended by:

* The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (one of the National Institutes of Health, of the US Department of Health and Human Services)
* The American Heart Association
* The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
* US guidelines for treatment of high blood pressure
* and, the DASH diet formed the basis for the new USDA MyPyramid,

The DASH eating plan has been proven to lower blood pressure in just 14 days. Best response came in people whose blood pressure was only moderately high, including those with prehypertension. For people with more severe hypertension, who may not be able to eliminate medication, the DASH diet can help improve response to medication, and lower blood pressure. The DASH diet lowers cholesterol, and with weight loss and exercise can reduce insulin resistance.

The book, The DASH Diet Action Plan, provides real life solutions to make it easy for people to follow the DASH diet. It has 28 days of meal plans (with adjustments for various calorie levels), recipes, guidance for weight loss, how to eat at restaurants, fast food places, etc. and still stay on plan. It shows you how to organize your kitchen for the DASH diet, how to read food labels to make good choices. And the book shows you how to add exercise and other lifestyle changes to help lower blood pressure. This book helps you design your own personal "DASH Diet Action Plan."

Heard about the new DASH diet research that shows that limiting starchy foods may help lower blood pressure further? Although this book was published before the new findings were released, the menu plans are based on those principles. Keeping the starches under control with DASH enhances its ability to lower blood pressure, and makes weight loss easier.
