Listed as DASH Diet on the web and Blood Pressure on the phone. DASH is Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, the eating pattern for lowering blood pressure.
What applying it changes
Your recommendations are rebuilt with:
Foods flagged high sodium, high saturated fat or added sugar on the foods-to-limit list.
A sodium ceiling of 1,500 mg a day.
A potassium floor of 3,500 mg a day.
If you take medication that affects potassium, that caution still comes first: it is part of your profile, not of the mode.
The phone screen
Open the mode from Diet Modes. The DASH Mode screen has three tabs.
Overview
Latest blood pressure, with your reading placed on the normal-to-crisis scale.
Sodium budget: today's sodium from your food log, with the two DASH limits under it, ideal below 1,500 mg and a maximum of 2,300 mg. Before you log anything it says so rather than showing 0.
DASH diet nutrient targets: the diet's reference amounts for a day: sodium 2,300 mg, potassium 4,700 mg, calcium 1,250 mg, magnesium 420 mg and fibre 30 g, each with why it matters.
Connect your labs: tap Upload lab results so your recommendations reflect your blood work.
Foods
Foods to favour and foods to limit, sample DASH meals, and tips.
BP log
Tap + Log to open the blood-pressure log and record a reading.
Reading history lists what you have logged.
Your stats (30 days) and 7-day trend fill in once there are readings.
The DASH Tracker
Under Trackers, tap DASH Tracker.
Today’s DASH targets shows the same five reference amounts against today's intake, sodium as a ceiling and the rest as floors. A nutrient the app could not score today, because too few of the foods you logged carry a value for it, reads No data instead of 0.
Under Blood pressure, the goal is below 120 over 80. Tap + Log BP to add a reading.
On the web
The web applies the mode and shows the rebuilt recommendations. Blood pressure is logged under Track, then Blood Pressure; the same readings appear in the phone's BP log.
What it does not do
There is no DASH score, no restaurant guide and no medication reminder. The 1,500 mg cap on your recommendations and the 2,300 mg maximum on the phone's sodium card are the DASH plan's two limits, ideal and maximum; neither can be edited.
