Abstract
Purpose of Review
The goal of this article is to summarize recent guidance on diet and cardiovascular health.
Recent Findings
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the USA, and diet significantly impacts cardiovascular disease risk. The focus of contemporary dietary recommendations has shifted from single nutrient replacements to dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean, healthy USA, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, and healthy plant-based patterns.
Summary
Recommended dietary patterns emphasize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes/pulses, seafood, lean meats, and fish/seafood. They also limit intakes of ultra-processed foods, processed meats, and alcohol, as well as foods high in salt and added sugars, particularly sugar-sweetened beverages.
