Read chapters 8, 9, and 10 before completing this week’s discussion board.
Complete #1, 2, and 3 below for full credit.
1. Follow the DASH diet for one day this week and then report on your experience answering the questions below. Some folks shop ahead for the week so be sure to read the section on the DASH diet so you can plan accordingly – pgs 374-6. Hypertension and the role of sodium are discussed, as are the roles of potassium, magnesium, and calcium for both prevention and treatment of hypertension.
DASH diet plan… It requires participants to consume 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day along with three servings of dairy (or a calcium source) and whole grains, etc. to get in plenty of magnesium, potassium, and calcium. This could offer many benefits as well as high blood pressure reduction, but it might prove to be difficult to follow this plan and stick to it.
