What is the role of fats in cardiovascular disease? This is an area of debate: Some research supports eating a very low fat diet, even if consuming heart healthy fat (such as that from cardiologist Dean Ornish- who has shown he can reverse plaque buildup on this type of regimen, and Colin Campbell at Cornell, based on his extensive research in China); other research supports an increased fat intake, as long as it is a heart healthy fat (such as olive oil). Which do you think, of the two, is the best approach? Back up your discussion with evidence. (Also, make sure you read Chapter 5, first-- which contains a nice discussion of atherosclerosis and diet).... and find a YouTube video or article to share with the class on this topic.
Answer :
Role of fats in cardiovascular diseases :
* if we will take high cholesterol and fatty diet leads to increased saturated fatty acids levels in the body.
* so increased cholesterol levels leads to accumulation of fat in the blood vessels, leads to formation of artheroslcerosis
* leads to decreased blood circulation and develops ischemic heart diseases.
* and other cardiovascular problems.
Very low fat diet even consuming heart healthy fat, and an increased fat intake as long as it is a heart healthy fat.
* in both of these the best approach is very low fat diet intake is less a better than, increased fat intake that means olive oil, because very low fat diet is developing a reverse plaques again.
* But by taking olive oil it helps in decreases the total cholesterol levels, low density lips proteins which will cause for the cardiovascular diseases.
One of the researchers shows its results like olive oil intake decreases the risk of cardio vascular diseases, author name is M. Guasch - ferret in 2014 it was given.
