DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension - in other words, a meal plan that can lower your blood pressure. It was developed in the United States by the National Institutes of Health, and their studies showed that it could lower the blood pressure of patients with pre-hypertension by 6mm Hg for systolic blood pressure and 2mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure. Patients with hypertension showed a drop of 6 and 11 for the same readings.
