While popular diets have been shown to aid in weight loss, their potential impact on cardiovascular health may be less favorable.
Popular diets may reduce cardiovascular disease risk and weight. Oils and saturated fats increase heart disease risk and weight loss. The American Heart Association named the 10 healthiest US diets. The paleo and ketogenic diets, which emphasize animal fats like butter and full-fat dairy while limiting carbs, scored the lowest in the Circulation study on Thursday. Mediterranean and DASH diets with whole grains, veggies, and low-fat dairy scored highest. Vegetarianism increased heart health. Olive, sunflower, salmon, and peanut oils reduce LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
Gardner's team assessed each diet using the American Heart Association's heart-health criteria.
Be different with your diet. Avoid processed grains. Salmon, almonds, lentils, and low-fat dairy have protein. Raw flesh is not good. Olive, safflower, and maize oils replace butter, lard, coconut, and palm kernel. Avoid processed food. Limit sugar. Limit salt and alcohol.
The committee recently divided diets into four categories based on guideline points.
Fish, chicken, legumes, nuts, and low-fat dairy scored best. Mediterranean diets include healthy seafood, veggies, nuts, and grains. Egged cheese. Healthy fish protein. Poor low-fat vegan food. Beans and nuts replace sugar and alcohol. Vegans may lose vitamin B-12. Low-fat diets failed because customers swapped lipids for carbs or sweets, which were nutritionally comparable. Third were diets low in carbohydrates, lipids, fiber, veggies, nuts, and healthy fats like plant oils.Gardner put keto and paleo fourth because they lack fruits, grains, and legumes.
Whole grain diets are optimal. Dr. Deepak Bhatt, head of Mount Sinai Heart and professor of cardiovascular medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, says whole grains lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Brooke Aggarwal, an assistant professor of medical sciences in the cardiology division at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, says cardiovascular disease is the biggest cause of mortality worldwide and should be prevented.
