Unit 2 CH 14 & 15 Flashcards
dietary factors that prevent atherosclerotic lesions and abnormally elevated serum cholesterol levels
moderate or low SFA and cholesterol decrease trans fatty acid intake greater monounsaturated fatty acids vitamins fibers
vitamins that prevent atherosclerotic lesions and abnormally elevated serum cholesterol levels
B12
B6
folate
magnesium
fibers that prevent atherosclerotic lesions and abnormally elevated serum cholesterol levels
fruits vegetables whole grain bread nuts seeds
fats and cholesterol
saturated and unsaturated
ω-3 fatty acids
ω-6 fatty acids
Trans fatty acids and interesterified fats
saturated and unsaturated
saturated fats are associated with an increased CVD risk
cholesterol intake is controversial as to CVD risk,
what is cholesterol CVD risk especially to
eggs intake
ω-3 fatty acids
have a cardioprotective effect and reduces CVD risk by reducing elevated triglyceride levels, inhibiting platelet aggregation and formation of blood clots, lowering BP, preventing plaque formation, and promoting the health of vascular epithelium in the coronary arteries
where is ω-3 fatty acids found
fish and can be take with supplements
ω-6 fatty acids
research suggests higher intakes may reduce CAD risk
some recommend limiting
may lower blood pressure
trans fatty acids and interesterified fats
similar to saturated fats in that they increase CVD risk by increasing LDL cholesterol and decreasing HDL cholesterol
carbohydrates and fibers
refined
limit intake
excessive sugar intake linked to several metabolic abnormalities and adverse health conditions
whole- grain products
intake associated with increase diet quality and decreased CVD risk
dietary fiber
inversely associated with risk of CAD
14% decrease in risk of coronary events
27% decrease in risk of coronary death
dietary fiber dietary reccomendations
total fiber intake 20-30 g per day
soluble fiber 10-25 g per day
plant sterols and stanols
plant sterols could have neutral or even protective effect on the development of CAD
flavonoids
inversely link with CAD, cancer, and other health problems
where is flavonoids found
fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds
soy protein
enhance cardiovascular and overall health
antioxidants
advised because of the positive potential health effects of other associated food components such as flavones
which vitamins had conflicting evidence for CVD risk
A, B, C, E
vitamin D, folate, B6, B12
association between vitamin D deficiency and CVD
B6 and folate may reduce homocysteine levels
evidence does not support the routine use of B vitamins to prevent CVD
does moderate alcohol consumption reduce the overall risk of CAD
yes
does alcohol consumption beginning in middle age suffice for cardioprotective effects
yes
what alcohol contributes to greater coronary risk reduction because of phenolic compounds
red wine
what does AHA’s dietary guidlines help to do
reduce calorie and fat intake to reduce body weight and blood cholesterol levels
Mediterranean diet
composed of higher amounts of fruits, vegetables, bread and other cereals, potatoes, poultry, beans, nuts, fish, grains, diary products, and moderate amounts of alcohol and olive oil
hypertension
benefits of comprehensive lifestyle changes
can decrease SBP 5-20 per 10kg of weight loss decreases 8-14 for DASH diet decreases 2-8 for sodium restriction 4-9 for 30 min daily physical activity 2-4 moderate alcohol consumption
hypertension
dietary mineral intake
limit sodium 1500
increase calcium, magnesium and potassium
hypertension
dietary supplements for blood pressure management
vitamin D inversely associated with hypertension
magnesium supplementation may enhance antihypertensive medications
how much of the U.S. population is obese
32%
who has a higher obesity rate
blacks and latinos
what are risk factors for obestiy
poor diet
lack of physical activity
