Do You DASH

Oregon Dairy CouncilThe Nutrition Education Services/Oregon Dairy Council has some new nutritional guides available. I wish I could have been at the conference where they introduced them.

Health-conscious individuals now have two fresh nutrition education resources at their fingertips. Nutrition Education Services/Oregon Dairy Council released a colorful guide to the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet today at the American Dietetic Association’s annual Food and Nutrition Conference and Exposition in Hawaii. A revision of their best-selling Pyramid Plus™ food chart will be available late fall 2006. A variety of audiences will find the resources useful, including educators and students, individuals looking to make healthier food choices, and health professionals seeking nutrition education for patients and clients.
