When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, a healthy and nutritious diet is considered a key component. Public health experts have made several recommendations regarding consuming healthy foods that lead to maintaining healthy eating patterns.

A versatile approach and balanced eating plan recommended by many health experts to aid in creating and maintaining a heart healthy lifestyle is the DASH diet; (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and instead provides daily and weekly nutritional goals. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2025). The foods recomm

ended on the DASH eating plan are fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, beans, nuts and vegetable oils. It is recommended to curb foods that are excessive in saturated fat, dairy, and sugar. The NIH (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) recommends this diet as an approach to stop hypertension and was developed by researchers 20 years ago with the support from the NIH. (NIH, 2025). Another version of DASH includes substituting 10 percent of daily carbohydrates for protein or unsaturated fats. No foods are off limits with this eating plan, which makes it a favorable plan to follow.

Another diet that is recommended by healthcare providers that includes the DASH diet is known as MIND; Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. This diet is a combination of two healthy diets: the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). (Mayo Clinic, 2023). The MIND diet is rich in nutrients and is practical to follow. Foods to be limited include liver, butter, cheese, red meat and sweets. (Mayo Clinic, 2023). The MIND diet includes foods that can aid in brain health and preserve brain function which can decrease the risk of cognitive decline and dementia including Alzheimer’s disease. (Mayo Clinic, 2023).
