A Systematic Review of the Efficacy of Bioactive Compounds in Cardiovascular Disease: Phenolic Compounds
Stacking our diets with plant foods may hinder cardiovascular disease from developing in men and women.
This study was carried out to confirm the protective effect exerted by phytochemicals present in plant foods against cardiovascular disease. Researchers performed a meticulous meta-analysis on data drawn out from a pool of 72 scientific publications.
Researchers demonstrated that high dietary exposure to plant phytochemicals, such as phenolic compounds, boosted an individual's odds of avoiding cardiovascular disease. This study emphasized the importance of imbibing the habit of consuming plant foods to help fend off cardiovascular disease.
