Mediterranean Diet Good For The Heart

 

 

Eating a Mediterranean diet for three months is good for the heart and can  reduce the risk of heart disease by 15 percent, says a new study.The heart-healthy effects of the Mediterranean diet  rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and fish and olive oil and light on red meat - are well documented. But just one other study has looked at what happens when healthy people are actually put on a Mediterranean diet.

To investigate, the researchers assigned 212 men and women at moderate risk for heart disease to eat a Mediterranean diet or a standard low-fat diet for three months.  Participants on the Mediterranean diet were instructed to eat fish four times a week and red meat only once a week.  Men were allowed two glasses of red wine daily, while women were limited to one.

Recommendations foe people on the low-fat diet were to eat poultry rather than beef, pork and other mammal meats; eat fish two or three times a week; stay away from animal products rich in saturated fat; and ear fruit and vegetables, low-fat dairy products and vegetable oil.

While study participants did not follow all diet recommendations, the researchers found, eating habits did change in both groups. Study participants took in fewer calories and consumed more proteins and carbohydrates and less total fat and saturated fat.  Both groups showed a small but significant drop in body mass index.  Among people on the Mediterranean diet, total cholesterol dropped by 7.5 percent and it fell by 4.5 percent in the low-fat diet group.

Based on this reduction, the researchers write, overall cardiovascular risk fell 15 percent with the Mediterranean diet and nine percent with the low fat diet. The Mediterranean food occupies an important place among the foods good for the heart.

"Both diets significantly reduced cardiovascular disease risk factors to an overall comparable extent", the researchers conclude.
