Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the primary cause of mortality worldwide and significantly contribute to reduced overall health and increased healthcare expenditures. Lifestyle modifications, particularly adopting a healthy diet, serve as the cornerstone of cardiovascular prevention guidelines. Investigating the intricate relationship between diet and health is of paramount importance, particularly in developing strategies to delay or prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases. Dietary patterns exert a significant influence on cardiovascular risk, primarily by affecting key risk factors such as serum cholesterol levels, blood pressure, body weight, and diabetes. Unfavorable eating behaviors are influenced by a multitude of biological, social, economic, and psychological factors. Addressing these factors through comprehensive interventions at various levels of society holds promise for promoting healthier dietary habits and preventing the progression of cardiovascular diseases.
This Special Issue aims to delve into research related to several aspects of this field, including calorie restriction, dietary components, specific nutraceuticals, dietary patterns, processed foods, and the underlying mechanisms that contribute to metabolic benefits such as oxidative stress and inflammation management. We aim to enhance our understanding of the intricate relationship between diet and cardiovascular health, paving the way for effective strategies to mitigate the impact of CVDs and their complications.
