The DASH diet to lower blood pressure is higher in fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lower in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is estimated to affect 20% of adults in industrialised countries and is even more prevalent in developing countries. Despite billions of dollars spent on blood pressure lowering medications, blood pressure is poorly controlled in many people. The World Health organisation (WHO) reports that the problem is further compounded by poor compliance to prescribed anti-hypertensive medication.
