Original title: Eating more plant-based foods may help improve heart health
A new study published in the
American
Heart Association suggests that most plant-based foods and fewer
-animal
foods may be associated with better heart health and a lower risk of death from heart attacks, strokes or other cardiovascular diseases.
While there is no need to give up animal-sourced foods entirely, this study does suggest that eating a larger percentage of plant-based foods and a smaller proportion of animal foods may help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke or other types of cardiovascular disease.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health reviewed a database that contained food intake information for more than 10,000 middle-age Americans monitored from 1987 to 2016, none of which were cardiovascular at the start of the study. The researchers then classified the participants according to their dietary patterns by the ratio of plant-based foods they ate to animal-based foods.
study showed that people who ate plant-based foods most often had a 16 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease, stroke, heart failure and other diseases, and a 32 percent lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
study also found that people who ate the least amount of plant-based food had a 25 percent lower risk of dying from any cause than those who ate the least amount of plant-based food.
researchers say the findings underscore the importance of focusing on diet, with some differences in individual foods, but to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, people should eat more vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fruits, legumes and fewer animal foods.
The American Heart Association recommends that people choose a plant-based diet that is nutritious, but low in sugar, sodium (salt), cholesterol, arterial blockage saturated fat, and trans fats. For example, French fries or broccoli pizzas with cheese are plant-based, but they have low nutritional value and contain sodium (salt). Unprocessed foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables and grains are good choices.
