The DASH Diet

In January 2018, DASH was named number 1 for “Best Diets Overall” for the eighth year in a row, also as “For Healthy Eating”, and “Best Heart-Healthy Diet”; and tied number 2 “For Diabetes”(out of 40 diets tested) in the U.S. News & World Report’s annual “Best Diets” rankings.

The DASH diet is similar to the Mediterranean diet and the AHA diet and has been one of the main sources for the MIND diet recommendations.
