How Does DASH Work?

	The key to making the DASH plan work is to boost the intake of fruits, vegetables and dairy foods so that you won’t have room for all the unnecessary nibbles that aren’t so heart smart!
	Simple Steps to Get Started   If you usually only eat vegetables at dinner, try adding a salad to lunch and topping it with cheese. When eating a piece of fruit for a snack, add some non or low fat yogurt and choose a bigger piece of fruit. A large apple, for instance, counts as two servings. Replace a cup of coffee for breakfast with smoothie-to-go. Simply blend a carton of non or low fat yogurt with a cup of your favorite frozen berries. Drink reduced or skim milk with meals rather than soda or tea. When you need to feed your sweet tooth, grab a bottle of low-fat chocolate milk—not a candy bar. Make your diet more interesting by trying a new fruit, vegetable or flavor of cheese every week.
