Dietary Factors in Preventing Heart Disease As coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK, more attention should be paid to preventing the disease. Many patients suffering from heart disease realise that it was mainly caused by their diet. Research has shown that elevated levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with increased risk of heart disease. “ Studies indicate that for every 1% elevation in the bad cholesterol there is a 2% increase in risk of heart disease”

A decrease of corn chips and potato chips with an increase of 5-9 servings of vegetables a day can assist to reduce LDL level

My topic for my research paper is Nutria Rats and what has come from them being in Louisiana. I plan to make many points throughout this essay including, how and why they ended up in Louisiana. The sources at I have accumulated over the past week to build on each other and provide me with facts and information that I was unaware of prior to doing this research. The following source will be used throughout my research paper whether it is basic knowledge or facts given from these articles.

In “Dr. Ornish's Intensive Healing Diet,” Dean Ornish( 1990) states that a vegetarian diet ( the Ornish diet), which Only contains ten percent of fat, twenty percent of protein, and seventy percent of carbs, can prevent or reverse heart disease and lose weight. He also indicates that drinking caffeinated coffee, tea, and wine may cause irregular heartbeats and promote stress by making some people jittery. In addition, “The American Heart Association” and “The National Research Council” both agree that further reduction in fat intake may offer greater health benefits like, a low-fat diet can reduce elevated blood cholesterol. Moreover, although the Ornish diet restricts lots of meat,

This primary article aimed to determine whether Wistar rats had a change in weight and food intake after consuming non- nutritive sweeteners and sucrose. 30 Wistar rats weighing about 200-300 g were taken for this experiment. They were kept in a 44 x 34 x 16 cm cage to control their activity, and divided into 3 groups of 10 Wistar rats, where each group was given either aspartame, sucrose or saccharin incorporated with yoghurt and water. This experiment was of 12 weeks, after which their body mass was measured. The final mass was determined by substracting the basal mass from the gained mass. It could be seen that the Wistar rats consuming aspartame and saccharin gained more weight compared to the Wistar rats feeding sucrose. It could be concluded

In one cohort, the mice consumed either a high-fat diet ad-lib or a 9- or 12-hour high-fat diet TRF for 12 weeks. In another cohort, the groups included a high-fat diet ad-lib and a 15-hour high-fat diet TRF group for 8 weeks. All diets were isocaloric and the high-fat diets consisted of 62% fat. The body weight gain of the 9-hour high-fat diet TRF (26%), 12-hour high-fat diet TRF, and 15-hour high-fat diet TRF (43%) groups were significantly less than the high-fat diet ad-lib (65%) group. Moro and colleagues and Belkacemi et al. had similar

Made from the goodness of bran which contains antioxidants like Oryzanol, Fortune Rice Bran Health oil reduces bad cholesterol while increasing good cholesterol. The bran in the oil further balances the PUFA/MUFA ratio that helps cleanse blood vessels, strengthens the body's immune system, and reduces allergic reactions.

We sum up that the IPB-1+CO diet could induce similar characteristic in body measurement and plasma lipid profiles with western atherogenic diet and suggested that responsiveness could be a good sign to choose the individual monkeys as an atherosclerosis model with any atherogenic diet, included IPB-1+CO. If there was no increase of TPC at the first 3 months of feeding, the monkeys might not produce a hypercholesterolemia, although for long term feeding, and might not form the plaques in the arteries.

HFD was prepared manually by mixing the 50% of standard diet in powder form with 29% melted sheep tallow,1% cholesterol, 0.5% cholic acid, 15% corn gluten and 4.5% rice bran. The diet was homogenized in a dough-form, shaped and dried. Dietary intake and body weight were recorded. The lee index (obesity index used in rodents) was calculated by the cube root of body weight (g) divided by the naso-anal length (cm) and considered values greater than 310 as an indicator of obesity [15]. The food intake was recorded twice a week and measured in g/day per kg metabolic body size ((body weight).75 )[16].

The hypothesize that females are protected from developing neurodevelopmental disorders. That is because of their sex hormones, estrogen provides a great neuroprotection, done by suppressing the neuro-excitotoxicity induced by glutamate. Research article by Etidal Al-Suwailem, Sex differences in the glutamate signaling pathway in juvenile rats goes into the discussion and understanding of how sex gender is represented in autism. The authors conducted research in this area to understand why the female is at lower risk than a male when it comes to the development of neurodevelopmental disorders. With the attempt to understand the differences in glutamate signaling as an etiological mechanism in autism.

Mice typically enter our homes during the colder time of the year (October –February) -looking for food, water and shelter from the cold. Globally, rats and mice spread more than 35 diseases and can be spread to humans directly by handling of rodents, through contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva, and bites. Diseases carried by rodents can also be spread to humans indirectly by ticks, mites or fleas that have fed on an infected rodent.

(2016), beans have been highlighted that have great importance in counteracting malnutrition problems owing to their nutritive value, i.e. high contents of protein and easily digestible starch. In recent years, more attention has been devoted to potential health benefits of beans stemming from the presence of bioactive constituents. In addition to nutritional components, some common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are rich in several phytochemicals such as phenolic compounds especially including phenolic acids, flavonoids and tannins. In another study, the consumption of beans have received increased attention because of their beneficial physiological effects in the prevention and control of broad range of chronic and degenerative diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. The inclusion of half a cup (130g) of beans and other legumes in the diet several times in a week is recommended good for health, by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2005), the total recommendation per week being 3½ cup. (Hayat, et al., 2013). Also, according to Mattei et al. (2011) substituting one serving of beans for one serving of white rice was associated with a 35% (95% CI: 15%, 50%) lower risk of the metabolic syndrome.

In MRFIT the main findings in the multivariate analysis of the 6-year data revealed significant independent positive relations of dietary cholesterol with SBP and DBP, between dietary saturated fat and DBP as well as an inverse relation of polyunsaturated fat/saturated fat to DBP. In a small group of hypertensive women, a diet rich in monounsaturated fat from olive oil had beneficial effects on BP. we found a diet rich in olive oil to cause an average reduction in SBP/DBP of 4–5/3mmHg polyunsaturated fat converts to prostaglandins which reduces BP via effects on arterial vasodilatation, electrolyte balance, renal renin release and/or pressor

It was also revealed that the grain compares with oats in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

With the implementation of these dietary changes, bad cholesterol and high blood pressure can be reduced. The America Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology
