Every year, more young people start the slow progressive injury that eventually becomes cardiovascular disease and death. It could be prevented with nutrition education, but medical efforts focus more on treatments for older people than on preventing primary causes of disease in young people. Two avoidable risks are prevented by simple dietary interventions: (1) Eat more omega‐3 and less omega‐6 fats, so tissues have less intense n‐6 eicosanoid action, and (2) eat less food per meal to lower…

Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and mental ill health starts, crucially, with maternal nutrition before the inception of pregnancy and continues throughout life of the new born and includes consuming more DHA and EPA omega-3 fats and other bioavailable brain nutrients and less high-energy-dense foods.

Healthy dietary patterns, lipids and inflammation in human randomized controlled trials
- Medicine
- 2017
This thesis aimed to investigate the role of healthy dietary patterns on lipids and inflammation with special focus on fat quality in populations with cardiometabolic risk, and found that exchanging food products with improved fat quality reduced total and LDL cholesterol and increased the serum levels of bile acid, but did not detect an effect on circulating inflammatory markers.
