Study Finds Different Heart-Healthy Diets for Men and Women
A recent study from Edith Cowan University in Australia has found that the ideal diet for protecting against heart disease differs between men and women due to biological and hormonal differences. Women's heart cells tend to favor burning fatty acids, making the consumption of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage beneficial for increasing female hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Meanwhile, men, especially young men, gain greater protection through consuming legumes such as beans and lentils, which positively influence the hormone testosterone. However, scientists agree on the importance of reducing saturated fats, sugars, and salt, and replacing them with healthy fats like olive oil and nuts, along with increasing fiber intake to help lower bad cholesterol and support heart health for everyone.
