About the Case Presentation
Nutritional management of cardiovascular health focuses on reducing risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension, and inflammation. A heart-healthy diet emphasizes the consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and nuts. Reducing the intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and added sugars is essential to prevent plaque buildup in the arteries and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Nutritional interventions, when combined with physical activity and lifestyle changes, significantly contribute to the prevention and management of heart disease and promote long-term cardiovascular health.
