HEART DISEASE & USE OF FRUITS

 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.
