prevents heart disease with nuts and fish

We know that several diseases can be prevented (or at least reduce the risk of development) through food. This time I write in this thematic line, referring to one study that has identified two foods that may be useful to prevent the occurrence of CHD.

The American University of Loma Linda has undertaken a study published in the Americal Journal of Clinical Nutrition which stresses the importance of nuts and fish with high levels of omega 3 for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

First, the nuts can reduce cardiovascular risk through the reduction of bad cholesterol (LDL) by 9.3% and serum total blood cholesterol by 5.4%. Only the intake of 42 grams of nuts a day is enough to keep cholesterol within range.

Moreover, researchers have also identified the blue fish with reduced cardiovascular risk. The weekly intake of only two blue fish dishes served to increase good cholesterol (HDL) by 4% and reduce bad cholesterol. Most importantly, however, its reduction of triglycerides, a 11.4% drop in the quantities specified intake.

These two foods, besides being delicious (nuts, in particular, are an irresistible vice) are healthy, and it costs nothing to include them in your weekly diet. You know the numbers, now get to work.
