According to a recently conducted study, the risk of suffering from heart diseases and other conditions like the Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes could be drastically reduced by following a few simple steps. The few simple steps, involve around the consumption of food rich in anti-oxidants and wholegrains.
Scientists in the study have discovered that there is a decline of 33% in cholesterol and 10% in blood pressure, if a person consumes a diet consisting of diverse categories of foods. It has been found in the study that multiple foods are more beneficial to health rather than just single types of foods.
A professor of multi-nutrition, Inger Björk from the Lund University, while talking about the results of the study has stated that the conclusion of the research had exceeded the expectations of the research team. She added that such results had never been observed in previous studies and that the new results would further influence the society to adopt more preventive efforts against diseases.
While talking to the Daily Express, Angela Dowden, a nutritionist, stated that it is possible that only one of the foods could be beneficial in bringing down excesses. However, it is more probable that the additive affects of other foods was just as important to reduce risks.
The study has been conducted by a team of researchers at the Lund University in Sweden.
