Estudio en 80 países señala consumir 6 alimentos ayudarían a reducir riesgo de enfermedad cardíaca

Making six key foods a regular part of your diet may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, new research shows.

For the study, published in the European Heart Journal, researchers analyzed data from six international studies that included 245,000 participants—with and without prior cardiovascular disease—from 80 countries. They used a diet score from the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study, ongoing research run by the Population Research Health Institute.1

The researchers found that having a diet filled with whole fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, and whole-fat dairy products helped lower a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.

"The biggest gains in avoiding premature cardiovascular disease and deaths globally is expected to occur by increasing the intake of healthy foods to a moderate degree, especially in poorer world regions," Andrew Mente, MSc, PhD, lead researcher for the study and associate professor at McMaster University, told Health.
