Vegetables may reduce hardening arteries: study
There is another reason vegetables may be so good for us. A study in mice found that a mixture of five common vegetables reduced hardening of the arteries by 38 percent compared to animals eating a non-vegetable diet, according to research reported in the latest issue of the Journal of Nutrition.
"While everyone knows that eating more vegetables is supposed to be good for you, no one had shown before that it can actually inhibit the development of atherosclerosis," said Michael Adams, lead researcher from Wake Forest University. "This suggests how a diet high in vegetables may help prevent heart attacks and strokes."
The study used specially bred mice which were prone to rapidly develop atherosclerosis. Half of the mice in the study were fed a vegetable-free diet and half got 30 percent of their calories from a mixture of freeze-dried broccoli, green beans, corn, peas and carrots.
After 16 weeks, the researchers measured two forms of cholesterol to estimate the extent of atherosclerosis. In the vegetable group, plaques in the blood vessels were 38 percent smaller than those in the mice fed vegetable-free diets. There were also modest improvements in body weight and cholesterol levels in the blood.
Adams said it was not clear exactly how the high-vegetable diet influenced the development of plaques in the artery walls. "Although the pathways involved are uncertain, the results indicate that a diet rich in green and yellow vegetables inhibits the development of hardening of the arteries and may reduce the risk of heart disease."
Numerous studies in humans have shown that a high-vegetable diet is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as with a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in "good" cholesterol. This is believed to be the first study to address the effect of increased vegetable consumption on the development or progression of atherosclerosis.
