The Polymeal: a more natural, safer, and probably tastier (than the Polypill) strategy to reduce cardiovascular disease by more than 75% -- Franco et al. 329 (7480): 1447 -- BMJ:
" "What is already known on this topic
- Prevention of cardiovascular disease is limited by high costs and low compliance
- The concept of a combination pill (the Polypill) to reduce cardiovascular disease by more than 80% was introduced in 2003
- Pharmacological interventions are not the only option for preventing heart disease; a healthy diet and an active lifestyle reduce cardiovascular disease as well
- A combined meal of seven food components (the Polymeal) could reduce cardiovascular disease by more than 75%
- Chocolate, wine, fish, nuts, garlic, fruit, and vegetables are all known to have a positive effect on cardiovascular disease, and have been enjoyed by humankind for centuries
- Finding happiness in a frugal, active lifestyle can spare us a future of pills and hypochondria"
