American scientists from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found a simple way to reduce the risk of developing heart disease by 10-13%. According to researchers, this can be done through a special diet.
Experts recommend adding more vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains and low-fat dairy products to your diet. According to studies, a diet rich in these foods, on average, reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 10% in men and by 13% in women.
“Healthy nutrition is one of the key lifestyle components needed to reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and cholesterol levels”– quotes “Reedus” one of the authors of the study, Dr. Steven P. Jurashek.
Recall that a day earlier, the geneticist Kolesnikova explained how to prevent heart attacks and strokes. According to her, cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death and disability in Russia.
