DASH Framework - Framework Guide

Overview

The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) framework is an evidence-based dietary approach designed to support electrolyte and mineral balance through whole foods.

Key Principles

  • Moderate daily sodium intake to 1500–2300mg per day
  • Maximize dietary potassium, magnesium, and calcium via whole foods
  • Emphasize fresh produce, whole grains, and low-fat dairy
  • Strictly limit saturated fats and sugar-sweetened beverages

Characteristic Foods & Ingredients

Commonly Included

  • Spinach, Swiss chard, and broccoli
  • Bananas, oranges, and sweet potatoes (potassium sources)
  • Oats and brown rice
  • Skinless poultry and lean fish
  • Unsalted almonds and walnuts
  • Fat-free dairy

Consumed in Moderation

  • Lean red meat (maximum 1-2 times weekly)
  • Unsweetened coffee and tea (moderate caffeine)

Typically Excluded

  • Cured meats (bacon, sausages, ham)
  • Canned soups and high-sodium packaged meals
  • Commercial salted chips and snacks
  • Soy sauce and high-sodium bouillon cubes

Practical Notes

  • Replace table salt with garlic, rosemary, oregano, citrus juice, and turmeric to boost flavor naturally
  • Dietary potassium and sodium balance from whole foods supports daily electrolyte requirements
