Which list most accurately summarizes the DASH dietary recommendations and explains how those choices raise potassium, magnesium, and calcium intake?

• A. Eliminate all plant oils and grains while increasing red meat and dairy fats to boost calcium through animal sources, since saturated fat directly increases magnesium retention and potassium absorption in most adults.
• B. Adopt a high‑protein ketogenic pattern emphasizing processed lean meats and artificial sweeteners because these reduce overall dietary sodium by avoiding high‑salt vegetables and grains and therefore are superior for increasing dietary magnesium and potassium.
• C. Maximize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low‑fat dairy, nuts/seeds/legumes; minimize red meat, sweets, saturated fat, and sodium — these foods increase potassium, magnesium and calcium while lowering saturated fat intake.
• D. Focus primarily on very low carbohydrate intake and fasting windows to lower blood pressure because reducing insulin is the main mechanism to increase potassium and calcium stores systemically even without specific emphasis on fruits, vegetables, or dairy products.

Answer: (C)
