Olive oil and leafy green vegetables, cooked spinach and salad green, can help women reduce their risk of heart disease, says a new study.
Olive oil and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, which succeeded in reducing the risk of cardiovascular, hypertension and cancer.
The new study says that a salad with a small base of olive oil vinaigrette can be enough to reduce the risk of heart.
In 2004, the world Organization (who) estimated 17.1 million people died from cardiovascular disease worldwide. Projects WHO number jump 23.6 million people by 2030.
Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists tried women consuming at least a portion of vegetables and three tablespoons of oil per day reduces the risk of heart disease by more than 40%.
Expert review of food data on 30,000 women (average age 50) participating in a study by the national health and followed participants for 8 years, underscoring how women developed cardiovascular disease.
Data showed 144 women have heart problems such as heart attacks. But women eat foods such as spinach and lettuce had a lower risk of 46% of heart disease and 44% reduces the risk for women consuming an ounce of olive oil each day.
Researchers believe that the antioxidants in green vegetables and olive oil are the reason for reducing the risk.
In addition to regular exercise and not smoking, Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. recommends cutting saturated fat and eat more fruits and vegetables to reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
