Macro partitioning
Ketogenic, Mediterranean, and DASH diets are effective for preventing atherosclerosis due to their low carbohydrate content, high vegetable/fruit/berry content, and antioxidant richness.
Adopt a Ketogenic, Mediterranean, or DASH diet to prevent atherosclerosis. Focus on low-carbohydrate, high-vegetable, fruit, and antioxidant-rich foods.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
The main diets effective against the development of atherosclerosis were considered, and the most popular were the ketogenic, Mediterranean, and DASH-diets. The advantage of these diets is the content of foods with a low amount of carbohydrates, a high amount of vegetables, fruits and berries, as well as foods rich in antioxidants.

- Personalized nutrition, incorporating genetic analysis (SNPs), gut microbiota assessment, and chrono-nutrition, is an effective preventive measure against atherosclerosis, superior to generic dietary advice.Moderate
- Specific biologically active substances (BAS) such as baicalin, resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, squalene, coenzyme Q10, and omega-3 exhibit anti-atherosclerotic potential and can be used as functional foods or supplements.Moderate
