Longterm consequences of diet styles (vegetarian, vegan, low-carb …)
Dietary pattern such as the Mediterranean Diet, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), the Healthy Eating Index or a vegan diet have shown some impact on the development of chronic diseases and mortality. The DASH-diet is considered evidence-based and established for reducing elevated blood pressure and prevention of coronary heart disease. A Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with a metabolic syndrome, whereas a vegan diet together with physical activity, and stress management can induce regression of coronary stenoses and reduce angina pectoris even in clinically overt coronary heart disease.
