A DASH of Aloha

A DASH of Aloha introduces the easy-to-use DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) eating and activity plan, which some might call a “diet.” But this is a book about eating, not dieting. It outlines a plan for healthy lifestyles that combines good eating habits and regular physical activity. 70 simple, delicious recipes emphasizing local flavors and produce are presented with nutritional notes and fact charts.

Those who find themselves challenged by cooking for family members with special dietary needs, or simply want to eat healthier themselves will find a wealth of tasty ideas here.

Kapi‘olani Community College’s dietition, exercise specialist, food photographer and team of culinary instructors have assembled this book to educate Hawai‘i’s population on how to enjoy preparing and eating healthy meals, rather than stressing over calories.

The HMSA Foundation, Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research Hawai‘i, National Kidney Foundation of Hawai‘i and the American Heart Association of Hawai‘i have all endorsed and contributed to A DASH of Aloha.
