Beneficial Effect of the DASH Diet Combined with Regular Physical Activity

This study explores the effects of a 12-week DASH diet program paired with supervised physical activity on individuals with overweight and obesity. Findings show significant reductions in body weight, BMI, fat mass, waist circumference, and uric acid levels, along with improved lipid profiles. These improvements were consistent across different subgroups, highlighting the efficacy of the intervention in promoting weight loss and improving metabolic health. The DASH diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy, combined with regular exercise, demonstrates promise as a non-pharmacological strategy for managing obesity-related health risks.
