Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is crucial for reducing global morbidity and mortality. The three fundamental pillars—a healthy diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking—are modifiable lifestyle choices. Certain foods benefit vascular function, while others may harm it. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods and drinks promote heart health. However, the field of dietetics is dynamic, with ongoing debates about the impacts of red meat, dairy, vitamin D, and the concept of chrononutrition. Current focuses include novel nutritional evaluations, personalized nutrition, fasting, gene–diet interactions, and education for better adherence.
The Mediterranean diet, the most researched dietary pattern, is recommended for cardiovascular and general health, but other appealing dietary alternatives exist. Dietary guidelines emphasize the key components and nutrients linked to cardiovascular health and overall mortality. Calorie restriction is considered one of the most effective ways to slow cardiovascular aging. Determining optimal dosages and consumption frequencies is essential for developing comprehensive cardiovascular health strategies.
In summary, further research is encouraged to guide and prioritize national public health policies based on the latest findings. This Special Issue should explore all aspects of effective nutrition-related strategies for improving cardiometabolic health and its underlying mechanisms.
