A scientific study warned that not eating enough of these six foods may lead to heart disease and exposure to early risks, as US scientists called for a re-evaluation of the guidelines for full-fat dairy products.
Now, experts have confirmed that cheese and fish are essential to a healthy diet. Researchers named full-fat dairy products one of 6 “essential” foods for lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Fish, nuts, legumes and vegetables were also included following a large analysis of nearly 250,000 people. person.
Products considered by researchers Full-fat dairy One of the 6 “essential” foods to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, in addition to fish, nuts, legumes and vegetables, following a large analysis of nearly 250,000 people.
A study prepared by the Population Health Research Institute at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, revealed that eating 6 foods that include dairy and nuts may protect once morest heart disease, according to the Daily Mail.
An ideal healthy diet, dubbed PURE, consists of 3 to 4 weekly servings of legumes, seven servings of nuts, 2 to 3 servings of fish and 14 servings of full-fat dairy products including: That milk, yogurt or cheese.
The researchers also explained that it is also possible to consume “moderate amounts”, or one serving per day, of whole grains and unprocessed meat, and this can include one slice of bread, half a cup of cooked rice, barley or quinoa, and regarding “85 g” of red meat or cooked poultry. .
“Low-fat foods have taken center stage from people, the food industry and policymakers, with nutrition labels focusing on reducing fat and saturated fat,” said lead author of the study, Dr Andrew Minty.
He added: Our findings indicate that the priority should be to increase protective foods such as nuts, which are often avoided as high in calories, fish and dairy products, rather than restricting dairy products, especially full fats, in very low quantities.
He also noted that the results show that up to two daily servings of full-fat dairy products can be included in a healthy diet.
He added: “This is in line with recent nutritional science showing that dairy products, particularly full-fat, may protect once morest high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome.
The newspaper added that cardiovascular diseases, which include heart attacks and strokes, kill more people worldwide than any other disease.
The World Health Organization estimates that 18 million people die from this condition each year, accounting for more than 30% of all global deaths. In the United States, CVD contributes to 1 in 5 deaths — or regarding 697,000 each year.
Between 2017 and 2018, it was also estimated to have cost the country around $229 billion. In the UK, cardiovascular disease causes a quarter of all deaths, or regarding 160,000 deaths each year.
According to the British Heart Foundation, the total annual healthcare cost of cardiovascular disease in England is £7.4 billion.
The new findings in the study, combined with previous reports, call for a re-evaluation of strict guidelines for avoiding full-fat dairy products, said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a registered dietitian at Tufts University in Boston who was not involved in the study.
