Description
This book is the most comprehensive guide to the DASH diet plan yet published. DASH® - Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension - was first formulated to combat hypertension (high blood pressure). But numerous studies have shown that the eating plan is also useful for dealing with excess weight, abnormal blood fats, Type 2 diabetes, and other health concerns.
The DASH diet has soared in popularity because not only does it allow people to take charge of their own health and that of their families, they can do it while eating delicious food. The plan emphasizes seasonings, spices, healthy oils, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other flavorful food choices.
But unlike a mere recipe book, The DASH Diet to End Obesity explains the science and psychology of how to find success with the DASH approach. Author Dr. William Manger and his three distinguished colleagues have crafted a reader-friendly book geared to motivate people to make healthy, informed changes in their daily lives. Not only do the authors present a lot of information in an accessible tone, they provide detailed descriptions of how to incorporate this knowledge into every meal with memory strategies, charts, and quick tips.
This book represents the life work of the four prestigious authors; it is not a jump-on-the-bandwagon response to the recent popularity of the DASH diet. Dr. William Manger has been such a proponent of the DASH lifestyle that he has founded an organization that teaches the eating plan to young children in schools.
Medical researchers and experts today are saying many parents could outlive their children because of runaway childhood obesity. This is the scenario The DASH Diet to End Obesity is dedicated to reversing.
Advance Praise
“Twenty years ago Dr. William M. Manger was studying and battling the hypertension plaque in America when he discovered that a tsunami of blubber was heading our way. He sounded the alarm. Not enough people listened, and the tsunami, code name Obesity, hit with full catastrophic force. But now Dr. Manger and his three distinguished colleagues have found a way out for citizens drowning in the lipid ooze – and Dr. Manger is an exemplar of his own advice. After 89 years his epidermis still fits him like a surfer’s wetsuit. He has a surfer’s muscles, too. Pound for pound, age-adjusted, he is the strongest man east of the Alleghenies.”
- Tom Wolfe, Jr., bestselling author and one of the founders of New Journalism, New York, NY M
“We know from carefully controlled research that the DASH Diet offers important benefits for blood pressure and weight loss. But the real challenge people face in trying to change their eating habits is sticking with it. This book provides, in simple language and practical hints, the information and motivation that people need to follow the DASH Diet in their daily lives. This is a major contribution.”
- Thomas J. Moore, M.D. Associate Provost, Boston University Medical Center Chairman of the DASH Trial and Founder of the DASH diet
“This is an outstanding book both for the content and ease of reading. Everyone can make use of the information and recommendations. The book provides guidance for all of us who want to take responsibility for our own behaviors and eating habits. The results will be better health. Additionally the book makes a strong case for the importance for one or more nationwide efforts to: reduce sodium in all foods; increase exercise in schools; and emphasize nutrition education in schools. These efforts, viewed as investments in our future will pay dividends in healthier citizens and a more competitive workforce.”
- Denis A. Cortese, M.D., Foundation Professor and Director of Arizona State University Healthcare Delivery and Policy Program, President of the Healthcare Transformation Institute, Emeritus President and CEO Mayo Clinic
