Thanksgiving has passed and with it so have some people's motivation for smart holiday eating. But according to an LA Times article, it is not too late to make good eating choices for the rest of the holidays. The Journal of the American Medical Assns. realeased a study earlier this month on the comparison of three different diets, the first diet known as DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and two other diets that were slightly altered to offer more lean proteins or helathy fats. "All three diets were low in sodium and rich in fruit, vegetables and whole grains. They included low-fat dairy products, lean meat, poultry and fish. As the researchers expected, all three effectively reduced blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels in a group of 164 adults age 30 and older. " The diet that had the best overall effect for reducing blood pressure, blood cholesterol and ensuring client satisfaction was the diet containing the higher lean protein foods. "This is a way to have a higher protein diet and do it in a healthy way with some documented benefits," said the study's lead author, Lawrence Appel, professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.
