To prevent chronic disease, the CDC urges<br />
people to consume an array of colors in<br />
their diet, such as dark leafy greens,<br />
oranges, and tomatoes.5 A diet containing<br />
whole grains, milk products, and various<br />
protein sources is also important.5<br />
Additionally, it's recommended to reduce<br />
salt, sugar, saturated fats, and trans fats.5<br />
Pasdar et al. conducted a cross-sectional<br />
study that concluded dietary patterns rich<br />
in fiber, vitamins, and polyphenols reduce<br />
the atherosclerotic burden. This is “caused<br />
by atherogenic lipoproteins, and thus<br />
reduces the risk of cardiovascular<br />
diseases”.6 Plant-based, Mediterranean,<br />
and DASH diets are dietary patterns<br />
associated with antioxidant and<br />
inflammatory properties.6 Pasdar et al. also<br />
noted that its cross-sectional design<br />
“cannot show a causal relationship<br />
between the dietary inflammatory index<br />
and dyslipidemia.”6<br />
