**Protect Your Heart with the Portfolio Diet**The Portfolio Diet has been shown to reduce the risk of death from heart disease by up to 18%. This lesser-known diet is gaining attention for its potential to lower mortality rates and delay the onset of cardiovascular events.
Developed in 2003, the Portfolio Diet combines four specific cholesterol-lowering food categories to create an "additive" effect. By incorporating unsaturated fats, plant sterols, soluble fiber, and viscous fiber into your diet, you can lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic health conditions.
**What is the Portfolio Diet?**The Portfolio Diet was created by combining four specific food categories to create a powerful cholesterol-lowering effect:
- Unsaturated fats
- Plant sterols
- Soluble fiber that binds and removes bile/cholesterol
- Viscous fiber
This combination of ingredients sets the Portfolio Diet apart from other heart-healthy diets, according to Wellstar cardiovascular dietitian Erin Sheehan.
**Long-term Health Effects**Research has shown that adherence to the Portfolio Diet can positively impact heart health. A 2023 study published in Circulation found that moderate adherence to the diet could decrease the risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease by 12% and 14%, respectively. Overall mortality dropped by 12%.
However, the closer someone followed the diet, the higher those numbers increased, with a 16% and 18% reduction in mortality for cardiovascular and coronary heart disease, respectively. Overall mortality dropped by 14%.
**Get Started Today**If you're looking to improve your heart health, consider incorporating the Portfolio Diet into your lifestyle. Remember to avoid highly processed foods and added sugars, and focus on adding small portions of cholesterol-lowering foods to your diet.
