Diet: The Key to Reducing Cardiovascular Risk

Regular indulgence, such as a single slice of pizza once a week, can significantly increase cardiovascular risk over time, highlighting the importance of dietary habits. Studies show that small LDL particle quantification is far more effective than traditional cholesterol testing in assessing cardiovascular health. Diet has been proven to be an efficient method for managing and reducing small LDL levels, which directly correlates with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Despite 30 years of research affirming these benefits, dietary management remains overlooked in favor of pharmaceutical solutions, indicating a need for greater emphasis and awareness on the role of diet in cardiovascular health.
