High-Fiber Diet Tied to Lower CV Risk in Diabetes, Hypertension


“A high-fiber diet is important to be prescribed in cases of diabetes and hypertension for future cardiovascular disease prevention, and this type of diet, in combination with medical treatment, can improve dyslipidemia, pulse wave velocity, waist-to-hip ratio, and hypertension


High-fiber diets can improve blood pressure, cholesterol level, and fasting glucose in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a new study suggests.
Researchers studied 200 adults with T2DM and hypertension who increased their dietary intake of fiber over a 6-month period from the recommended dietary allowance for dietary fiber by 20% to 25%. Participants also adhered to a low-glycemic diet.
Those adhering to the dietary changes had a significant improvement in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), systolic and diastolic hypertension, serum cholesterol, low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose.
“This study shall help clinicians all around the world to learn three important things,” lead author Rohit Kapoor, MD, medical director, Care Well Heart and Super Specialty Hospital, Amritsar, India, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
