Macro partitioning

Higher overall diet quality, specifically defined by adherence to Swedish nutrition recommendations for saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, fish, fiber, fruit/vegetables, and sucrose, is associated with a statistically significant reduction in the risk of incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD).

Adopt a diet that prioritizes fish (at least 300g/week), high fiber (≥2.4g/MJ), and plenty of fruits and vegetables (≥400g/day), while limiting saturated fats to ≤14% of energy, polyunsaturated fats to 5-10%, and sucrose to ≤10%. This pattern, when maintained long-term, significantly lowers your risk of heart disease and stroke, independent of your blood pressure or cholesterol levels.
