Cardiovascular risks of a diet low in carbohydrates
Energy-restricted diets are known to lose weight and have a flat stomach. However, a recent study in the United States shows that these plans would affect health and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
An important article was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine entitled: cardiovascular risks of a diet low in carbohydrates.
The article recognizes that a diet low in carbohydrates may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The New England Journal article is based on a recently published study by researchers at Beth Isreal and Harvard Medical School. The study, led by Shi Yin Foo, has shown that for a long time to follow a low-carb diet caused damage to blood vessels that could lead to heart disease and premature death.
These problems are not related to alterations of blood cholesterol, or inflammation, or oxidative stress. For cons, the plan affects the ability of endothelial cells to regenerate and repair missing or injury.
New research on low carbohydrate diets should be performed in humans to examine whether these findings apply to humans as in mice.
It could also whether people with personal or family history of cardiovascular disease have increased risk or not.
Finally, if you follow a low calorie diet such as combining diet, for example, be careful to consider all the risks that involve and talk to your doctor. In addition, if you have a family history, use extra caution.
