Cardiologist Dean Ornish, author of the famous Ornish diet to lower cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risks with nutrition, had said and repeated at the first dangerous signs : do not do protein and high-fat diets, they can make you lose weight. short term but in the long term you will have cholesterol problems and cardiovascular problems. But nothing to do, he seemed to hear the talking cricket. And so many people have started to eat more fats in the diet (the so-called banting) or more fats and animal proteins: for example the aficionados of the Paleodieta, convinced that the evil of man is cereals and legumes, and that we must return to eat like our primitive ancestors.
Nothing could be more wrong, now a research by the WA Heart Foundation establishes it: if before there were no studies on the efficacy and healthiness of the Paleo diet (rather recent: in Italy for example we only start talking about it this year) , now cardiologists are beginning to warn with more severity. The Paleo diet, says cardiologist Michelle Ammerer, can lead to an increase in bad cholesterol and greater risks for the heart : taking into account that 92 percent of the population is already putting their cardiovascular health at risk due to stress, bad habits and accelerated life, adding risks with the wrong choices at the table is an imprudent thing.
The Paleo diet, says the cardiologist, will also be in fashion among the stars (the last is Anne Hathaway, who even would have apologized to Peta ) and the bodybuilders, but she is absolutely unbalanced and not recommended . The WA Heart Foundation warns : The Paleo diet dangerously raises bad cholesterol levels in the blood , due to the increase in red meat and animal protein fats in the diet.
