5
Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Cigarette smoking and
exposure to tobacco
smoke
High blood cholesterol
High blood pressure
Physical inactivity
Obesity and overweight
Diabetes
Increasing age
Male
Family history of
premature heart disease
6
Metabolic syndrome
Excessive abdominal obesity
High blood triglycerides
Reduced HDL
Elevated fasting glucose
Raised blood pressure
7
What leads to most cardiovascular
disease?
Atherosclerosis
(condition
characterized by
plaque buildup along
artery walls – a silent
process)
High blood pressure
8
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
CHD – Damage to or
malfunction of the
heart caused by
narrowing or blockage
of the coronary
arteries
Angina
Heart
attack
(Myocardial infarction)
9
What Do Your Cholesterol
Numbers Mean?
Total
cholesterol
LDL (bad) cholesterol – the main source of
cholesterol buildup and blockage in the
arteries
HDL (good) cholesterol – helps keep
cholesterol from building up in the arteries
Triglycerides – another form of fat in your
blood

How to Lower Cholesterol
Therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC):
TLC
diet
Physical activity
Weight management
Drug treatment (along with TLC if needed)
12
TLC Diet
Low saturated fat (less
than 7% of total kcalories)
Low cholesterol (less
than 200 mg/day)
Only enough kcalories to
maintain a desirable
weight and avoid weight
gain
If LDL is not lowered
enough, the amount of
soluble fiber can be
increased

High blood cholesterol is one of the risk factors for heart
disease that you can do something about
To lower your blood cholesterol level you must stop
eating meat altogether
Any blood cholesterol level below 240 mg/dL is
desirable for adults
To lower your blood cholesterol level you should eat
less saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol, and lose
weight if you are overweight
The main goal of cholesterol-lowering treatment is to
lower LDL

Saturated fats raise your blood cholesterol level more
than anything else in your diet
All vegetable oils help lower blood cholesterol levels
The TLC diet calls for less than 10% of kcalories from
saturated fat and less than 300 mg of dietary
cholesterol
Women don't need to worry about high blood
cholesterol and heart disease
Reading food labels can help you eat the heart healthy
way

Stroke
Damage to brain cells
resulting from an
interruption of blood
flow to the brain
Most are caused by
blockages in the
arteries that supply
blood to the brain, a
few are caused by a
ruptured brain artery
17
Types of Strokes
Ischemic strokes
Hemorrhagic strokes
18
High Blood Pressure
Greater than 120/80
Top number is called
the systolic pressure
Bottom number is
called the diastolic
pressure
19
Risk Factors for High Blood
Pressure
Obesity
Eating too much sodium/salt
Drinking too much alcohol
Lack of physical exercise
Race
Heredity
Increasing age
Lifestyle Modification for High
Blood Pressure
Lose weight if overweight
Adopt DASH diet (high in potassium,
calcium, magnesium)
Reduce sodium intake to <2400 mg/day
Engage in regular aerobic physical activity
Limit alcohol intake to no more than 2
drinks/day for men and 1/day for women
21
DASH Diet
Based
on a 2,000 calorie a day diet the DASH diet
recommends the following number of servings from
the listed food groups:
*6-8 servings of grain and grain products
*4-5 servings of vegetables
*4-5 servings of fruits
*2-3 servings of low-fat or nonfat dairy products
*6 oz. or less of meat, poultry, or fish
*4-5 servings of nuts, seeds and legumes per week
*limited intake of fats and sweets
22
Menu Planning for CVD
General
Decrease
or replace salt in recipes by using
vegetables, herbs, spices, and flavorings
Offer salt-free seasoning blends and lemon
wedges
23
Menu Planning for CVD
Breakfast
Appetizers and Soups
Salads
Breads
Entrees
Side Dishes
Desserts
Beverages
24
Caffeine and Health
Most common sources of
caffeine in the diet:
Coffee
Tea
Cola
Cocoa
Rapidly absorbed
Withdrawal symptoms
No longer considered a diuretic
Moderate use does not seems to negatively affect heart
health
25
Nutrition and Cancer

Society
Maintain a healthful weight throughout life
Adopt a physically active lifestyle
Eat a healthy diet with an emphasis on plant
sources
Limit alcohol to 2 drink/
day for men and 1 for
women

28
Nutrition and Diabetes Mellitus
Types
Type
1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Nearly 90% of people with diabetes
Age of onset over 40 in most cases
Most frequently occurs in overweight individuals
Slow onset of symptoms
Often improves with weight loss and/or changes in
diet and exercise
29
Treatment for Diabetes
Individualized diet to
maintain good glucose control
keep blood levels of fat and cholesterol
in normal
ranges
maintain or get body weight within a desirable range
Sugars are allowed in moderation.
Kcaloric distribution
Carbohydrates
and
monounsaturated fats: 60-70%

Osteoporosis
A disease characterized by:
Low
bone mass
Structural deterioration of bone tissue
Fragile bones
Increased susceptibility to fractures of hip,
spine, and wrist
32
Osteoporosis
Peak bone mass is
attained during the early
thirties. Bone is being
constantly remodeled,
and after the early thirties
bone is broken down
faster than it is deposited
(especially during the five
years after menopause
for women due to
estrogen decrease).
33
Risk Factors for Osteoporosis
You can’t change
these:
Gender
Age
Body
size
Ethnicity
Family history
You can change
these:
A
diet low in calcium
and vitamin D
Sedentary lifestyle
Cigarette smoking
Excessive use of
alcohol
34
Prevention of Osteoporosis
The best approach to
osteoporosis is prevention –
taking in the AI for calcium
regular exercise
consuming milk for
adequate vitamin D
consuming moderate
amounts of alcohol
avoiding smoking.
Medications, such as
Fosamax, can increase bone
density.
35
Treatment of Osteoporosis
Proper nutrition – calcium and vitamin D
Exercise
Safety practices to prevent falls
Possibly medications
36
Food Facts: Botanicals & Herbs
Botanical – plant or
plant part valued for
its medicinal or
therapeutic
properties, flavor,
and/or scent
