Abstract :

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the global leading cause of death, with an average of 1 in 4 people dying from heart disease annually in the United States. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 75% of deaths from CVD can be decreased by lifestyle management. One in three Americans have a risk factor for heart disease that can be prevented. Preventable risk factors include abnormal lipid panel, particularly small, dense LDL particles; being overweight or obese, especially when the weight is concentrated in the abdominal region; high blood pressure; uncontrolled diabetes; physical inactivity; smoking; and high stress and anger levels. The American Heart Association states that 99% of Americans need to improve their heart health. This lecture will focus on reviewing the latest research on food and nutrients that may protect the heart and prevent heart disease.
