A member asked:

How long does it take to see effects of dash diet on bp? i've heard anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. is there any consensus on the time frame? thnx!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dash: The effects of reduced salt ( low sodium and hig potassium dash diet ) are immediate . The only caveat being long standing hypertension / BP readings is not as sensitive to low salt diet. On the other prehypertesnion and new onset hypertension repond promptly to low salt dash diet
