How it works

Reduces sodium intake and increases potassium, magnesium and calcium, which together help relax blood vessel walls and reduce blood pressure.

Requires sustained dietary changes. Consult a dietitian if you have kidney disease as high potassium intake may not be appropriate.

Why very strong evidence

Multiple large RCTs and systematic reviews demonstrate the DASH diet reduces systolic blood pressure by 8–14 mmHg. Endorsed by major cardiology guidelines worldwide.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
