Dietary patterns significantly affect cardiovascular health. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help reduce the risk of heart disease and improve overall heart function. Conversely, diets high in saturated fats, trans fats, and sugars can lead to increased cholesterol levels and hypertension. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in processed foods promotes healthy blood pressure and lowers the risk of atherosclerosis.
