Heart Disease and
Use Of Fruits
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) :
Disorders Of Heart
and And Vessels , Include Coronary Heart Disease And stroke .
1Cardiovascular Diseases are leading
Global health problems.
2 Epidemiological studies have indicated
that consuming fruits was inversely
Related to the risk of CVDs .
We all know An Apple a day keeps the doctor away
An Apple keeps us healthy not the
Apple juice but Whole Apple as it is having
Beneficial fibers.
3 According to WHO Report
CVDs are responsible for 17.5million
Deaths world wide in 2010
4 Fruit has been suggested to play a
major role in preventing CVDs
5 It is estimated that diet low in fruits is 3rd most IMP risk factor of CVDs .Following
High B.P. and cigarette smoking deaths
Worldwide in 2010.
6 Fruits Grape Blue berry Pomegranate
,Apple,Hawthorn and Avacado,shown
Strong cardiovascular protective
effects.
7 Fruit is one of the main dietary sources
Of polyphenols.
Polyphenols :are beneficial
Compounds with antioxidant properties.
Protect against various
Diseases.
8 The richest sources of polyphenols
are dark Berries such as grapes
And berries.
9 Pomegranate Apple Hawthorne
and Avocado are frequently consumed
Polyphenols rich fruits.
There is evidence that fruit rich
In polyphenols helps to control
Cardio vascular diseases (CVDs).
10 Epidemiological evidence supports
that diets rich in fruit delay the
Onset ,and attenuate the severity
Of CVDs.
11 Stroke cohorts study of Swedish
Women and men results suggested
That consuming 3.1 servings per
Day of total fruits alleviated total
Stroke risk by 13% compared with
0.4 servings /day.
12. Study in Netherlands 20069
Adults individuals fruit consumption
Of Apple/Pear particularly decreased
the risk of total stroke.
The study in netherlands also
Reported that consuming greater
Than 120grams raw fruits decreased
Risk of hemorrhagic stroke by 47%
compare with consuming less than or
Equal to 120 grams /day raw fruits.
13 The nurses Health study showed
that high citrus fruit / juice intake
was related to reduced risk of ischaemic
Stroke.
14 Three cohort studies all reported
that higher fruit intake was related
with decreased risk of hypertension.
Clinical Trials
1 The anti---Hypertensive effect
Of grape polyphenols in several
randomised. Controlled trials was
evaluated by a meta analysis .
Results :Daily grape polyphenols
Intake reduced significant SBP
(Systolic Blood Pressure)
By 1.48mm Hg when compared
With control subjects p=0.03
Diastolic Blood Pressure(DBP)
was not significantly reduced.
Several studies showed that grape reduced
TC (Total Cholesterol) LDL-C (low density
Lipoprotein Cholesterol) and increased
HDL ---C
(High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)
Or good cholesterol.
In subjects with various risk factors
Of CVDs
Other berries also have lipid lowering
Effect.
The benefits contribute to anthocyanin.
Apples fiber component is necessary
For lowering lipid in human.
Conclusion
Fruits such as Grape Blueberry , Pomergranate
Hawthorne and Avocado showed protective
Effects on cardiovascular functions.
