A Mediterranean diet may reduce women's risk of heart failure
The delicious flavors of the Mediterranean diet have made it popular. However, there are other well-established health advantages to this plant-based diet, such as lowered risk of major illnesses like heart failure.
A European Journal of Clinical Nutrition study looked at the connection between heart failure and the Mediterranean diet. The results show a noteworthy decrease in the risk of heart failure, especially in women who followed this eating regimen.
The anti-inflammatory characteristics of the Mediterranean diet help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, two major risk factors for heart failure. The study found that this diet significantly reduces levels of particular biomarkers linked to heart failure, such as NT-proBNP.
This diet's comprehensive advantages also have a good impact on insulin sensitivity, cholesterol levels, and glucose metabolism, all of which lower the risk of heart failure. The diet, which is high in monounsaturated fats from olive oil, helps lower inflammation and improve heart health.
