Ediets

That first heart attack has got to be a shocker. You're at the bar watching the game, dipping Buffalo wings into blue cheese and – BAM!

You're on the floor grabbing your chest and yelling for your drunken buddies to call 911. If just you'd been popping olives instead of jalapeño poppers.

Because a new study shows the Mediterranean diet may lower your risk of having a cardiac event, particularly that pesky first heart attack.

Ever wonder why those olive-skinned Mediterranean women – ugh, guys overly – look so great? It's their diet. The Mediterranean diet, wealthy in olive oil, fruits, vegetables, entire grains, and fish, has long been related with fine health.

And now, writing in the American Journal of Epidemiology, scientists tell the closer you adhere to the Mediterranean diet, the lower your risk of having a heart attack; even a 40% reduced risk of a first cardiac event.

Using a especial scale to rank units of compliance to the Mediterranean, information revealed with each “1-unit” increase in score, heart illness risk was decreased by 6%. Scientists point out the corresponding diet change isn't that “drastic.”

So, use this info as a starting point. Cut out red flesh one day and swap in fish, or cook with olive oil instead of canola oil; ease into it. It every time seems bizarre to me to shock your body with an sudden diet change.
