Exclusive translation: The American Heart Association (AHA) has revealed a number of popular diets for their potential benefits in maintaining heart health and protecting it from disease, noting that diets that include healthy portions of meat are better for the heart than a vegetarian diet.

The DASH Diet

Doctors at the AHA, who published their findings in the journal Circulation, found that the DASH diet, designed for people with high blood pressure, and the popular Mediterranean diet worked best. And came in fifth place the diet of vegetarians. According to the newspaper “Daily Mail”.

Doctors warned that foods high in sodium, cholesterol and saturated fats can increase pressure on the arteries and cause circulatory problems.

On the other hand, nutrient-dense foods like vitamin K — which helps stop blood clots — whole grains and more can reduce your risk of heart disease.

Lacto-egg diet

The categorized diets also included a vegan diet, a lacto-ovo diet, an egg-eating vegetarian, a low-fat diet, and a low-carb diet.

Whole grain rich diet

The diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil and fish also scored 89, which is the third best.

Effects of vitamin B12 deficiency

The researchers also note that many vegans suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency, and this can lead to hair loss, vision problems, and nervous system damage, and this nutrient deficiency was not factored into the AHA classification.

Keto diet

The keto diet involves dropping almost all carbohydrates and replacing them with foods rich in fats and proteins. The goal is to enter ketosis, a theory that states that a person begins to use fats as their primary source of energy instead of carbohydrates.

paleo diet

There is also the paleo diet, a style of eating that forgoes foods that were unavailable to our early ancestors. This mainly includes meat, fruits and vegetables.
