FAQs

Questions Our Clients Ask

Yes. A consistent DASH-style diet typically lowers systolic BP by 8 to 14 mmHg in 8 to 12 weeks - comparable to a single medication.

We target 1,500 to 2,300 mg of sodium per day. That is about 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of total salt - including hidden salt in pickles, namkeen and bread.

No. Small portions of ghee in cooking are fine. We replace excess saturated fats with healthier unsaturated oils.
