Besides people were educated in detail about the role of diet in prevention of cardiac ailments and adopt a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. While interacting with the people Dr Sushil Stated that Evidence shows the effectiveness of healthy dietary patterns and lifestyles for the prevention of CVD. Furthermore, the rising incidence of CVD over the last 25 years has become a public health priority, especially the prevention of CVD (or cardiovascular events) through lifestyle interventions. Current scientific evidence shows that Western dietary patterns compared to healthier dietary patterns, such as the 'Mediterranean diet' leads to an excessive production of pro inflammatory cytokines associated with a reduced synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines. In fact, dietary intervention allows better combination of multiple foods and nutrients. Therefore, a healthy dietary pattern shows a greater magnitude of beneficial effects than the potential effects of a single nutrient supplementation. Heart disease results from the narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart with blood through a process known as atherosclerosis. Fatty deposits (or plaque) gradually build up on the inside of the artery walls, narrowing the space in which blood can flow to heart. To reduce heart disease risk, follow these heart healthy eating patterns recommended by the Heart Foundation, Eat plenty of wholegrain, fruit and vegetables Include a variety of healthy protein sources especially fish and seafood, legumes (such as beans and lentils), nuts and seeds. Smaller amounts of eggs and lean poultry can also be included in a heart healthy diet. Consume unflavoured milk, yogurt and cheese. Those with high blood cholesterol should choose reduced fat varieties. Make healthy fat choices with nuts, seeds, avocados, olives and their oils for cooking. Add herbs and spices to flavour foods, instead of adding salt, He Added. More than 200 people were examined, evaluated and advised during the camp.
