Core Tip
Core Tip: The prevailing fund of knowledge depicts that a high salt diet or a Western diet that contains excessive saturated fats, and meat augments inflammation, oxidation, and atherogenic activity in our body. The American Heart Association and European Atherosclerotic Society both recommend consuming more fruits, vegetables, dietary fibers, and nuts that are all integral to plant-based diets in order to prevent the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, we could not find an article that provided a comprehensive review of a variety of bioactive nutrients in these diets, comparing several types of diets and their effects on diverse metabolic conditions like diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and atrial fibrillation, amongst others. We, thus, author a narrative review to compile the proposed effect of each nutrient, antioxidant as well as various diets on CAD in adults.
