The previous
study quoted(last blog) on 20,000 Swedes changes the conversation about risk factors and
risk behavior in health. The study concentrates on adhering to low-risk
practices rather than focusing on which risk factors we have.
Is it difficult
to adhere to a low-risk diet or, in other words, is it hard to eat healthy?
In the
study, the foods with a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health were scored
high; for example: fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, reduced-fat dairy
products, whole grains and fish. Non-recommended foods including red and processed
meat, fried potatoes, solid fats, full-fat cheese, white bread, refined cereals
and various other meats were scored low.
As you might
have guessed, the participants who consumed the beneficial foods had better
cardiovascular outcomes. This seems pretty straightforward; we should look to choose
foods with a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health and avoid or limit
those that do not. Making these healthy choices may seem harder than ever due
to today’s fast paced lifestyle, but Registered Dietitians can help sort this
out for you.
