“…Omega-3 fatty acid is also known to control mental load and behavior [24]. There is consistent evidence that fruit and vegetable rich diet can decrease blood pressures and modulate CVDs [28][29][30][31][32]. Singh et al reported for the first time by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, about half weekly pattern of blood pressure and heart rate in men and women of India as well as circadian decrease in antioxidant vitamins and increased oxidative stress in the second quarter of 24 hours [33,34].…”

Effects of Western diet and lifestyle factors resulting in hypertension are known, however, the effects of lifestyle on blood pressure variability measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring are not sufficiently well known. In the present case, it has been observed that Western diet, sedentary behavior and mental load in a subject with normal blood pressures were associated with blood pressure disorders (VVD). Moderation in diet and lifestyle reversed the blood pressure variability, demonstrated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

“…In this study, 61 group A and 59 group B patients with essential hypertension were administered guava fruit preferably before meals in a foods-to-eat approach rather than foods-to-restrict, in a randomized and single-blind fashion for 12 weeks [37]. Nutrient intakes including saturated and total fat were significantly decreased; carbohydrates, total and soluble fiber, flavonoids and vitamins and mineral intakes were significantly higher in group A than in group B at 12 weeks.…”

There is evidence that optimal nutrition is fundamental to human health and in the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) later in adult life. The identification, production and consumption of functional foods worldwide can increase health benefits for all who can access and afford such foods subject to advice from nutritionists. Recent meetings organized by the health agencies, give a crucial opportunity to make nutrition, a central part of the post-2015 sustainable human and agricultural development agenda. The aim of discussions in these meetings was to provide functional crops and foods to achieve optimal health by prevention of NCDs. It is possible that these efforts might ensure that the goals and targets set in the agenda are adequate to address the many challenges of global undernutrition as well as obesity which are major risk factors of NCDs. In many developing and middle income countries, food security provided by the governments, in one sense understandably, gave least consideration to functional foods supply and the prevention of obesity and metabolic syndrome, resulting in to emergence of NCDs. The Thailand Declaration reiterates that commitments to eradicate hunger and undernutrition as well as over-nutrition, and to increase investments in effective interventions; designers foods and designers crops. However, in planning coherent policies, our past experience on rapidly absorbed, energy-rich processed foods should be taken in to account while developing sustainable food systems. The food industry should be educated to exploit the expertise of food scientists and health professionals in designing functional foods taking cognizance of manufacturing and processing. Similarly, agriculture scientists may be actively involved in educating farmers so as to grow cash crops providing functional foods. The aim should be to achieve an increase in the availability of functional foods to an extent, or by a policy, by which such foods are available to poors, at affordable cost to prevent hunger and undernutrition and related diseases as well as NCDs. In addition our efforts might help in developing an international consensus on how to approach the development of new designer foods by farmers and food industry to produce low glycemic index foods. Such efforts may establish an international framework for the prevention of NCDs, so that human susceptibility to these diseases is substantially diminished.

“…These studies reported significant benefit due to increased intake of phytochemicals [48][49][50]. Other workers also found a beneficial effect of fruit, vegetables, nuts and w-3 fatty acids rich foods on risk of CVD [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Mono-unsaturated fatty acids and w-3 fatty acids have been suggested to be protective against diabetes and metabolic syndrome [62][63][64][65][66].…”

Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Mellitus In Low and Middle Income Countries

Hyperglycemia as a component of metabolic syndrome, appears to be an important risk marker of vascular disease in most developing countries which are under transition from poverty to affluence. Despite a moderate increase in fat intake and low rates of obesity, the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes is rapidly increasing in most of the developing economies. It is a paradox that in some of these countries the increased risk of people to diabetes and CAD, especially at a younger age, is difficult to explain by conventional risk factors. It is possible that the presence of new risk factors especially higher lipoprotein (a)(Lpa), hyperhomocysteinemia, insulin resistance, low high density lipoprotein cholesterol and poor nutrition during fetal life, infancy and childhood may explain at least in part, the cause of this paradox. The prevalence of obesity, central obesity, smoking, physical inactivity and stress are rapidly increasing in low and middle income populations, due to economic development. In high income populations, there is a decrease in tobacco consumption, increase in physical activity and dietary restrictions, due to learning of the message of prevention, resulting into reduction in coronary and sroke mortality. Hypertension, (5-10%) diabetes(3-5%) and CAD(3-4%) are very low in the adult, rural populations of India, China, and in the African sub-continent which has less economic development. However, in urban and immigrant populations of India and China, the prevalence of hypertension (>140/90, 25-30%), diabetes (6-18%) and CAD (7-14%) are significantly higher than they are in some of the high income populations. Mean serum cholesterol (180-200 mg/dl), obesity (5-8%) and dietary fat intake (25-30% en/day) are paradoxically not very high and do not explain the cause of increased susceptibility to CAD and diabetes in some South Asian countries. The force of lipid-related risk factors and refined starches and sugar appears to be greater in these populations due to the presence of the above factors and results into CVD and diabetes at a younger age in these countries. These findings may require modification of the existing American and European guidelines, proposed for prevention of CAD, in high income populations. Wild foods or designer foods (400-500g/day) substitution (www.columbus-concept.com) for proatherogenic foods; in conjunction with moderate physical activity and cessation of tobacco, may be protective against deaths and disability due to CVD and diabetes in most of these countries.
