One of the two groups started a fast before the DASH diet, while the other groupstuck to their regular diet before the experiment. The researchers used stool samples to examine theeffects of the fast on the gut microbiome. Gut bacteria work in close contact with the immune system.Some strains of bacteria metabolize dietary fiber into anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids thatbenefit the immune system. The composition of the gut bacteria ecosystem changes drastically duringfasting. Health-promoting bacteria that help to reduce blood pressure multiply. The following isparticularly noteworthy: “Body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and the need for antihypertensivemedication remained lower in the long run among volunteers who started the healthy diet after a fast,”explains one of the researchers. Some of these changes remain even after resumption of food intake.This result is thrilling； blood pressure normally shoots back up again when even one antihypertensivetablet is forgotten.
