Results from a previous DASH study (in which the amount of salt was kept constant) showed that the DASH diet all by itself can substantially lower blood pressure.
The good news from the new report is that eating less salt and following a DASH-type diet can help some people who are headed for hypertension control their blood pressure without needing to take drugs.
