Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Poor dietary habits appear to be the major modifiable risk factor for morbidity and mortality from CVDs. Therefore, improving dietary habits and adopting food- and nutrient-based dietary guidelines as part of a global public health strategy is of critical importance to preventing and managing end-stage disease, thereby reducing the direct and indirect costs associated with CVDs. Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 suggest that over 80% of disability-adjusted life years and deaths resulting from poor diet are a result of cardiovascular health issues. In many instances, the underlying mechanism linking intake of food, nutrients or whole diets to cardiovascular function has not been fully elucidated.
