Lowering Salt Cuts Strokes and Heart attacks (Op-Ed) This article was published originally at The Conversation.
and a 40%drop in deaths from coronary heart disease. So where does this leave the salt debate?
High blood pressure causes strokes and heart attacks and a reduction in blood pressure reduces them. The effect is related to the size of the fall in blood pressure.
It is therefore conceivable that a moderate reduction in salt intake in a population would help reduce stroke and heart attacks through a reduction in blood pressure.
and heart attacks would need a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial. However it has been argued that such a mother of trials#will never be possible.
for the prevention of both cancer and cardiovascular disease. The BMJ Open study is another contribution to the bulk of supportive evidence suggesting though not proving a plausible connection between the reduction in salt intake achieved in the last eight years in the UK with a national programme (1. 4g less salt per day) and the reduction
of average population blood pressure (3. 0/1. 4 mmhg) and cardiovascular mortality (42%in stroke and 40%in ischaemic heart disease) during the same period.
and less saturated fat may not be the best way to reduce the risk of heart disease a new review suggests.
and pork had reduced a risk of heart disease. The researchers concluded their analysis did not yield clearly supportive evidence for current cardiovascular guidelines
However the results did show a link between eating more trans fats which are hydrogenated the partially oils added to foods to keep them fresh longer and an increased risk of heart disease.
He said the data came from recent and well-designed studies that involved people who were initially healthy as well as people who already had heart disease
Reducing risk Chowdhury and colleagues carried out the study to shed light on the role of fat in coronary heart disease.
and sunflower seeds may lower the risk of heart disease. The researchers examined data from population studies of diets
or omega-6 fatty acids could reduce heart disease risk Chowdhury said. But the researchers said that more research is needed especially to determine
if omega-3 supplements may help prevent heart disease in healthy people. (In fact a study out this week in JAMA Internal medicine suggested taking omega-3 supplements doesn't reduce risk of heart disease.
What should people make of these results? We believe that a more'food-focused'approach should be considered
and butter contributes to higher cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease. But an editorial published in Open Heart suggests that saturated fats aren t as bad as we have been led to believe.
and an increased risk of degenerative heart disease was based on selective data from the 1950s that overstated the risk.
The association between fat calories and heart disease risk was made first by Ancel Keys in the 1950s who first suggested a correlation between between cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Overall he argued no large observational studies have shown that low fat diets cut heart disease risk.
and heart disease risk while saturated fats (meat cheese) and artificial trans fats such as hydrogenated vegetable oil aren t so good.
and heart disease risk surfaced in 2010 after the authors of a meta-analysis of 21 studies
and nearly 350000 subjects concluded there was no significant evidence#that dietary saturated fat was associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease.
#In it he called for a re-evaluation of how we view saturated fat s role in heart disease.
#He said the 2010 meta-analysis (supported by the National Dairy Council) also found that evidence from studies was consistent in finding that the risk of coronary heart disease was reduced
#oeit is beyond reasonable doubt that elevated LDL cholesterol is a major determinant of risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
and prevent heart disease the researchers said. When olive oil and vegetables are digested together the conditions in the stomach provide an environment for the fatty acids to react with nitrogen compounds in the veggies
whether the compounds inhibited an enzyme that contributes to high blood pressure. The animals in the study had high blood pressure
and were given olive oil omega-6 fatty acids along with sodium nitrite to mimic components of a Mediterranean diet for five days.
and were resistant to the inhibitory effects on the enzyme were found to maintain their high blood pressure
which might increase the risk of heart disease the Mediterranean diet seems to prevent heart disease the researchers said.
but there are health benefits observed in moderate drinkers including lower rates of cardiovascular disease and possibly fewer colds Murray said.
which has been linked to cancers cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In March 2009 a 10-year National Cancer Institute review of studies that followed half a million Americans found that those who ate 4 ounces of red meat

Studies have shown a connection between toilet reading and hemorrhoids. The theory dating back to a 1974 study is prolonged that toilet sitting during
This can lead to hemorrhoids or inflamed veins in this area. A study published in The Lancet in 1989 reported that patients with hemorrhoids were more than twice likely to read on the toilet.
A study from 1995 in the journal Colon & Rectum found that 40 percent of patients with benign anorectal disease read on the toilet.
& Motility also found hemorrhoids sufferers more likely to be toilet readers. What's not clear
however is prolonged whether toilet sitting causes hemorrhoids or is the result of this. Nevertheless doctors recommend more dietary fiber not more sitting to facilitate bulkier and faster bowel movements.
