Original title: It's not too late to change Research says eating more vegetables lowers cholesterol
A paper published in the latest issue of the American Review of Nutrition says eating more vegetables is indeed associated with low blood cholesterol levels, which means a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
japanese and U.S. researchers came to this conclusion after analyzing the results of nearly 50 observational studies and clinical trials. The team analyzed the long-term effects of vegetarianism on blood lipid levels and found a link between vegetarianism and significantly lower levels of total cholesterol in the blood, said Susan Levine, co-author of the paper and head of nutrition education at the American Physicians Association. "Vegetarian" here means eating meat less than once a month on average.
for the average person, it's not necessary to be "vegetarian" to eat more vegetables, fruits and nuts. Fruits and vegetables and nuts are low in saturated fat, but rich in water-soluble fiber, soy protein and phytosterols, all of which help lower cholesterol levels. Levine recommends focusing on nutrition as early as possible, changing your diet, and increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables, "it's much easier to change your diet early than it is to change your diet at age 60 or 75, but it's not too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle at any time," Levine suggests.
