Abstract

|
|
There is an ongoing need for public health interventions aimed at further mitigating the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through changes in dietary patterns and other lifestyle habits. Plant-based diets (PBDs) are effective in reducing CVD risk factors, a benefit evidenced by the favorable cardio-metabolic profiles observed in vegetarians who abstain from consuming meat, fish, and poultry compared to omnivores. Numerous studies have demonstrated that PBDs, particularly when rich in high-quality plant foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, are associated with a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Herein, we briefly review the current evidence regarding the relationship between CVD and PBDs, as well as the potential underlying biological mechanisms.
