Description
More and more doctors and health professionals are telling their patients that reducing salt/sodium will contribute to lower blood pressure and better health. Often they recommend the DASH approach as a great alternative to drug treatment for hypertension. For two years, they've been recommending Sandra Nowlan's path-breaking book which shows how tasty and appealing the DASH diet can be. Now Sandra Nowlan is back with a collection of recipes for simple, quick-to-prepare and tasty dinner dishes. Sandra shows how you can stick to the healthy choices of the DASH approach and enjoy attractive, delicious meals. Among the recipes: Cornmeal Crusted Salmon Cakes with Apricot Chutney, Madras Vegetable Curry, Four Grain Pilaf with Currants and Cranberries and Easy Blueberry Cr?me Br?l?e. DASH is an alternative to drugs for anyone experiencing hypertension. DASH, which stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension, was developed by independent researchers at the US National Institutes of Health. Following the DASH approach was demonstrated to have the same impact on blood pressure as the pharmaceutical industry's medications. Health professionals who are aware of the DASH research findings are DASH's strongest advocates, and thousands of Canadians now benefit from following this approach.

Editorial Reviews
"The philosophy of 'good eating' involves an educational process. Once you understand the health benefits of natural, unrefined foods, you can enjoy them in your diet. The recipes in both of my DASH cookbooks have been thoughtfully created to be healthy — but enjoyment of the flavours, textures and presentation of the dishes is my top priority. You can indulge yourself using these recipes while knowing that you are doing your body a favour."
