Cardiovascular diseases can present themselves in different ways, including through high blood pressure, cardiovascular accidents, high cholesterol, cardiac arrhythmias, among other conditions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), This type of cardiovascular pathology causes the death of more than 17 million people in the world each year and is responsible for half of the deaths that occur in the United States.

Dr. Christopher D. Gardner, chairman of the drafting committee of the new scientific statement and Rehnborg Farquhar Professor of Medicine at Stanford University (California), in the United States, indicates with regard to diets that “in recent years there has been The number of different and popular dietary guidelines has proliferated, and the amount of misinformation regarding them on social media has reached critical levels.

Thus, cardiometabolic health refers to factors that affect metabolism and increase the risk of heart and vascular diseases. For the above, Infosalus points out the healthiest diets and best valued for cardiovascular health, according to the guide of the American Heart Association:

Foods low in salt, added sugar, alcohol, tropical oils, and processed foods, and high in non-starchy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes benefit heart health. In addition, This diet contains protein, which usually comes mainly from plant sources (such as legumes, beans or nuts), along with fish or shellfish, poultry and lean meats, and skim or low-fat dairy products.

The Mediterranean diet is also highly rated for heart health. “Because it does not explicitly address added salt and includes moderate alcohol consumption (rather than avoiding or limiting it), it scores slightly lower than DASH.” indica Infosalus.

Specifically, several studies have shown that diets very low in fat and carbohydrates help slow the progression of fat buildup in the arteries. “A healthy low-carb eating pattern has been shown to equally affect weight loss, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol compared to a healthy low-fat diet,” indica Infosalus.

Paleolithic and ketogenic diets are widely used to lose weight. This type of diet refers to the consumption of non-starchy vegetables, nuts and fish, along with minimizing the consumption of alcohol and added sugar. “They are very restrictive and difficult for most people to follow long-term. Although short-term benefits and substantial weight loss are likely, they are not sustainable. A diet that is effective in helping a person maintain their weight loss goals, from a practical perspective, has to be sustainable.”
