How Your Diet Might Prevent Heart Failure

Heart failure, a significant health issue, is often linked to inflammation. And guess what? Your food choices can influence this inflammation. The dietary inflammatory score (DIS) is a tool that measures how much inflammation your diet causes. Researchers decided to find out if the DIS could predict heart failure events. The study used data from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.They discovered something interesting. People with diets that scored high on the DIS were more likely to develop heart failure. This means that eating foods that cause high inflammation could increase your risk of heart failure. So, paying attention to your diet and reducing inflammatory foods might help you avoid heart failure. It's not just about what tastes good, but also about what's good for your heart.
