Pola Makan Berbasis Nabati / Vegan Turunkan Resiko Gagal Jantung
Diet berbasis nabati menurunkan risiko gagal jantung, menurut data yang dipresentasikan pada Sesi Ilmiah American Heart Association tahun ini di Anaheim, California. Periset membandingkan lima diet yang berbeda di antara 15.569 peserta tanpa didiagnosis menderita penyakit jantung atau gagal jantung dari Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) dan tingkat kejadian gagal jantung yang dilacak. Mereka yang mengikuti pola makan nabati yang mencakup sayuran hijau, kacang hijau, berdaun hijau tua dan daging olahan yang dikecualikan menurunkan risiko gagal jantung sebesar 42 persen. Diet lain yang dianalisis meliputi daging merah, lemak jenuh, telur, dan minuman manis.
Plant-Based Diets Lower Risk for Heart Failure
Plant-based diets lower risk for developing heart failure, according to data presented at this year’s American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in Anaheim, California. Researchers compared five different diets among 15,569 participants without previously diagnosed heart disease or heart failure from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study and tracked heart failure incidence rates. Those who followed a plant-based diet that included dark, leafy green vegetables, beans, and whole grains and excluded processed meats lowered their risk for heart failure by 42 percent. Other diets analyzed included red meat, saturated fats, eggs, and sugar-sweetened beverages.
