DASH Eating Plan

DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a flexible and balanced eating plan that helps create a heart-healthy eating style for life. The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and instead provides daily and weekly nutritional goals.

This plan recommends:

- Eating vegetables, fruits, and whole grains
- Including fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and vegetable oils
- Limiting foods that are high in saturated fat, such as fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, and tropical oils such as coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils
- Limiting sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets

When following the DASH eating plan, it is important to choose foods that are:

- Low in saturated and trans fats
- Rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and protein
- Lower in sodium

The DASH Eating Plan was developed to lower high blood pressure without medication. Learn more about how you can fight high blood pressure, one delicious bite at a time! www.nhlbi.nih.gov/DASH

La piel es su primera defensa en la prevención de heridas. El cuidado adecuado de este órgano vital es importante para su salud en general porque la piel sirve como algo más que una cubierta para nuestros músculos y huesos. La piel protege los órganos internos de factores externos dañinos (bacterias, rayos ultravioleta, humedad) y regula la temperatura corporal, almacena nutrientes esenciales y nos da el sentido del tacto. Los cambios en la piel, como el color o la textura, pueden ser un signo de otras afecciones médicas y deben ser monitoreados por un profesional de la salud.

Adherirse a la siguiente lista lo ayudará a mantener una piel más saludable.

- Mantener la piel limpia y seca. Asegúrese de tratar inmediatamente cualquier episodio de incontinencia. Practique una buena higiene, incluyendo lavarse las manos con un jabón suave.

- Hidratar diariamente. Las lociones estándar ayudan a prevenir el secado. Tenga cuidado de no colocar ninguna loción entre los dedos de los pies.

- Cuide adecuadamente los cortes menores, rasguños y quemaduras. Tenga en cuenta cualquier cambio en la apariencia de una herida y la piel circundante. Informe a su médico de cualquier cambio.

- Tome duchas o baños cortos y tibios. El agua caliente puede hacer que la piel se seque y se agriete.

- Proteger las zonas vulnerables con una descarga adecuada. Esto puede incluir el uso de yesos de contacto total, andadores de yeso extraíbles, sillas de ruedas, almohadillas especiales y reposicionamiento.

- Mantenga una dieta completa según lo aconsejado por un profesional de la salud.

- Hidratar con agua. Los líquidos ayudan a prevenir la sequedad de la piel y / o la boca y son esenciales para un cuerpo sano.

- Evite los productos de tabaco. Comience un programa para dejar de fumar si es necesario. Fumar daña el colágeno y la elastina, que dan fuerza y elasticidad a la piel.

- Use protector solar y use ropa protectora afuera.

- Realice regularmente un chequeo de la piel de todo el cuerpo. Informe a su médico de cualquier área con decoloración, textura extraña, hinchazón o secreción.

Si usted o un ser querido sufre de una herida que no sana, llámenos hoy al 773-696-9490 o 312-243-3769.

Skin is your 1st defense in preventing wounds. Proper care of this vital organ is important for your overall health because the skin serves as more than a cover for our muscles and bones. Skin protects internal organs from harmful external factors (bacteria, ultraviolet rays, moisture) as well as regulates body temperature, stores essential nutrients, and gives us the sense of touch. Changes in the skin, such as color or texture, can be a sign of other medical conditions and should be monitored by a health care professional.

Adhering to the following list will help you maintain healthier skin:

- Keep skin clean and dry. Be sure to immediately treat any episodes of incontinence. Practice good hygiene, including washing hands with a mild soap.
- Moisturize daily. Standard lotions help prevent drying. Be careful not to place any lotion between the toes.
- Properly care for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. Note any changes in appearance of a wound and the surrounding skin. Let your physician know of any changes.
- Take short, lukewarm showers or baths. Hot water can cause skin to dry out and crack.
- Protect vulnerable areas with proper offloading. This may include using total contact casts, removable cast walkers, wheelchairs, specialty pads, and repositioning.
- Maintain a well-rounded diet as advised by a health care professional.
- Hydrate with water. Fluids help prevent dry skin and/or mouth and are essential for a healthy body.
- Avoid to***co products. Begin a smoking cessation program if necessary. Smoking damages collagen and elastin, which give skin strength and elasticity.
- Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing outside.
- Regularly perform a full-body skin check. Inform your clinician of any areas with discoloration, odd texture, swelling, or discharge.

If you or a loved one are suffering from a wound that will not heal, call us today at 773-696-9490 or 312-243-3769 to make an appointment.
