It is not only in China, but also in the advanced United States, where food is the order of the day. Recently, Americans have been promoting the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which was first designed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to control blood pressure in patients with hypertension, and has since been highly sought after by people on diets to lose weight, people with high cholesterol, diabetes, and people with kidney disease. Not only that, but the National Institutes of Health has provided a wealth of useful information specifically for popular mainstream food categories and their healthy alternatives to guide the application of the DASH diet to lower blood pressure. The DASH diet recommends eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, meat, nuts and legumes, and limiting the intake of fat, red meat, sugary drinks and foods, focusing primarily on variety of food groups and getting the right amount of nutrients, encouraging dieters to consume less sodium or salt, and increasing magnesium, calcium and potassium. However, DASH places more emphasis on lowering blood pressure with a low-salt diet: the standard DASH diet, with a maximum sodium intake of 2,300 mg per day, and the low-sodium DASH diet, with a daily sodium limit of 1,500 mg. Normally, many people consume 3,500 mg or more of sodium per day, so both versions of the DASH diet aim to reduce sodium intake. The U.S. government has also recommended that people limit their sodium intake to no more than 2,300 mg per day, so it is clear that an improper diet can play a very important role in the metabolism of our body and the development of high blood pressure.
