Watch What You Eat for Heart Health
Eating the typical Western diet can account for about 30 percent of heart attack risk across the world, a new report suggests, while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is tied a low risk of heart attack. Research published in the Oct. 21 issue of Circulation looked at dietary habits in 52 countries and found that people who ate a Western diet had a 35 percent greater risk of having a heart attack compared to those who ate little or no fried foods and meat. The Canadian researchers analyzed risk factors in food choices and the risk of heart attack in about 16,000 people in 52 countries. Almost 6,000 people had heart attacks, while the rest had no known heart disease.
