high blood pressure may also save people from heart attack and
stroke.
The plan is called the DASH diet, and it favors fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk and plant-based protein over
meat.
Researchers followed more than 88,000 healthy women over a
25-year period. They found the women with eating habitats similar
to the DASH diet were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack
and 18 percent less likely to have a stroke than those whose diets
were closer to typical American eating habits.
The study's lead author says people who don't have high blood
pressure might ignore the diet, but the results suggest even
healthy people should get on it. The study only followed women, but
Simmons University researcher Teresa Fung says men would probably
get similar benefits.
The study appears in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
