Tell me what you eat, I will tell you how you will be! Researchers from The Icahn School of Medicine of New York studied the diet of 15,569 volunteers, and monitored the evolution of their state of health for 4 years. The idea? Identify a correlation between eating habits and the risk of one day developing heart failure. To do this, the study classified the participants into 5 groups:those who consume fast food in quantity (fast-food type), those who prefer sweet foods, those who rely on proteins, XXX, and finally, those who adopt a plant-based diet (but consume fish). And the latter were rather inspired, since their diet would reduce the risk of developing heart failure by 42%.
Once again, diet plays a decisive role in our state of health. And it is this time with heart failure (a potentially fatal disease, indicating a weakness of the heart) that science is interested. According to this study, following a "diet" of dark leafy vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains and fish reduced the risk of developing heart disease by 42% for people without genetic heart problems. heart failure in the future. Not bad is not it ? Clearly, we monitor less the quantity that we put on our plate and a little more its content. We favor fibers while limiting saturated fatty acids (coming in particular from animal fat) as well as added sugars and salt. Finally, according to a second team of scientists, drinking an extra cup of coffee a day would also help prevent heart failure, as explained by The Independent … That too is good news!
