Dietitian-Assisted DASH groceries
The DASH ("Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension"), is a healthy dietary pattern that lowers blood pressure without reducing weight. The DASH diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products; includes whole grains, poultry, fish, and nuts; and is reduced in red meat, sweets, and sugar-containing beverages. Intervention Phase: This intervention is a weekly, 12-week DASH dietary intervention. A dietitian will assist participants in ordering groceries in a pattern consistent with the DASH diet to be delivered to their homes. The quantity of groceries will be based on participant Calorie needs and family size. Observation Phase: For months 4-12 of the study, participants will be asked to continue following a DASH grocery shopping pattern without the provision of weekly groceries.
Self-directed shopping
Intervention Phase: Participants will receive some basic information on healthy eating and a monthly stipend at 4, 8, and 12-weeks of the intervention. Observation Phase: For months 4-12 of the study, participants will be asked to follow their typical shopping pattern without the provision of a monthly stipend.
