DASH diet, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitusAbstract
Pakistan health sector still lacks the proper machinery to meet the requirements of the increasing population. The millennium is marked with lifestyle changes from high/ moderate activity to sedentary lifestyle. This has a negative consequence on the health on young and adults equally. The prevalence of hypertension is 35%, 3% diabetes and 29% cardiovascular diseases. The score is still not confirmed as the census is unbailable to grasp the local situation as experienced by medical staff on ground. In these conditions, nutrition therapy may play its pivotal role in the prevention and maintenance of current disease situation in the country. Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, DASH diet, has shown remarkable effects in such patients. These menu guidelines help to stabilize the health balance of life through maintenance of weight, sodium levels in the body and bad fat deposition. DASH plans are recommended with slight dietary modifications and exercise to keep up with health goals. The major portion of diet is based on fruits and vegetables and plenty of water intakes daily. This intervention
has promising effects till now.
