Abstract: | Healthful dietary intake and physical activity are advocated as first-line prevention and treatment of many diseases. Dietary
intake plays a major role in preventing and promoting the leading cause of death in the United States: cardiovascular disease.
Despite continually growing evidence on the relationship between nutrition and cardiovascular risk, many Americans consume
an atherogenic diet resulting in a proinflammatory and prothrombotic dysmetabolic state. Overconsumption of fat, sugar, and
refined carbohydrates has led to overweight and obesity for most Americans and is associated with the increasing prevalence
of cardiovascular risk factors, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. This article reviews the
association between dietary intake and cardiovascular risk and summarizes optimal dietary intake for cardiovascular risk reduction. |
