The role of optimal nutrition in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

A balanced diet has always been part of a set of preventive measures with cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

The aim of the research is to present relevant international data on the role of nutrients in reducing the risk of CVD.

Results. This article discusses current data on the effect of consumption of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, trans fats, cholesterol, dietary fiber, protein, edible salt potassium, magnesium and vitamins on the state of the cardiovascular system and the prevention of CVD. Recommendations on optimal nutrition are given to reduce cardiovascular risks, including those according to the new 3rd edition of the Guide to Cardiovascular Medicine (The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, 3 edn).

Conclusion. When managing patients with cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary not only to take into account international nutritional recommendations, but also to focus the patient's attention on how to comply with them.

Keywords:cardiovascular disease, nutrition, saturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, trans fats, cholesterol, dietary fiber, vitamins
