It's good to see our federal tax dollars used for research that is useful. However, if my tax dollars are used to support this type of research, why do I have to pay for that information? I'm going to purchase the book, but I'm having a problem with paying for information that my tax dollars supported initially. Again, this information should be available for free.

This book is very helpful for me in managing my diet. I am taking blood pressure medication and I will use the tools in this book as an aide in keeping my blood pressure down. I only wish it had a few more recipes. It has very helpful planning tools.

While the book imparts important and valuable information regarding dietary steps we can take to lower blood pressure, what really sold me on this book was the menu plans that show portion sizes for different calories levels. This has always been a challenge for me because while I know what I'm supposed to taking in calorie-wise, how do I adjust a menu for what my husband needs? This book solved that for me easily. The meals are satisfying and incorporate enough variety to keep me from getting bored. The recipes are very tasty and easy to prepare, even when time is short. I am now in the fourth week of the DASH and already I have watched my blood pressure begin decreasing steadily. Now that I know what I should be eating and how much of it, it's much easier for me to vary the menus if I choose to. It's one of the easiest diets I have ever found, and more than that, it's a good lifestyle of eating that I can stick to.

This book really is informative. Gives suggestions to help stay on track that make sense. Is written in a way that understands most people that find themselves actually in need of this book are trying to overcome some bad eating habits. There are some recipes in this book, I wish there had been a few more.

Stick with this plan and you'll reach your goals for sure and without spending a lot of bucks you don't have to waste.
