Sink your teeth into this good news:
Heart attack patients can enjoy a little more fat in their diets. A
Mediterranean-Style diet high in Olive Oil and other healthy fats is just as
good as the classic American Heart Association (AHA) low fat diet for heart
attack victims.
A new study had one-third the risk
of suffering another heart attack or stroke compared to heart patients eating
normal diets. But those on the AHA diet were told to keep total fat intake to
less than 30 percent of calories – while the Mediterranean dieters are allowed
up to 40 percent.
