Dairy Consumption
For Heart Health
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) The New England
Journal of Medicine recently published new government
research reaffirming lowfat dairy foods as part of a heart
healthy diet.
The study, called DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop
Hypertension), revealed that a diet including at least
three servings of lowfat dairy foods and 8 to 10 servings
of fruit and vegetables that is also low in fat and sodium
may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure as effec
tively as some medications.
“High blood pressure affects 50 million Americans and
is one of the leading causes of heart disease and stroke,”
says Debra Summerall, spokesperson for the Pennsylva
nia Dairy Promotion Program. “This study provides even
more evidence the DASH diet, which lowfat milk, yogurt
and cheese may be a powerful weapon in reducing heart
disease.”
This news comes on the heels of last fall’s release of di
etary guidelines by the American Heart Association
(AHA) that recommended lowfat dairy as part of a heart
healthy diet.
Immediately following the publication of the Journal
article, dairy promotion staff worked with leading con
sumer media and health professional organizations to
spread the word to consumers about dairy’s health bene
fits. Nationally, more than 200 television news segments
have aired across the country on more than 130 stations.
Additionally, a news report by USA Today highlighted
the important role of dairy foods in lowering high blood
pressure.
