Heart Health Through Anti-Inflammation

Coronary artery disease is primarily a chronic inflammatory condition, and managing it effectively entails addressing insulin resistance and chronic inflammation through lifestyle changes. An anti-inflammatory diet, exemplified by components of the Mediterranean diet, plays a crucial role in combating inflammation. Key dietary elements include extra virgin olive oil, omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish, nuts and seeds, and polyphenols from whole fruits and vegetables, which should form the core of one's diet for optimal heart health.
