Heart Attack Diet
Dietary fat independently affects heart attack risk. The Nurses’ Health Study found that eating foods high in saturated fats (meat and dairy fat) and trans fatty acids (margarine, hydrogenated vegetable oils, and many processed foods containing hydrogenated vegetable oils) was directly associated with many nonfatal heart attacks and deaths fromcoronary heart disease. Consuming foods high in monounsaturated fat, such as olive oil, and polyunsaturated fat, as found in nuts and most vegetable oils, is linked to a decreased risk. This same study revealed that margarine increased the incidence of heart attack, particularly among women who had eaten margarine consistently for more than a decade. Other studies report a direct association between frequent consumption of meat and butter and heart attack occurrence.
Research consistently shows that people who frequently eat nuts have a dramatically reduced risk of heart disease; this could be because nut consumption lowers cholesterol levels. Of nuts commonly consumed, almonds and walnuts may be most effective at lowering cholesterol, and macadamia nuts may be least beneficial. Hazelnuts and pistachio nuts may also help lower cholesterol...
