“…Guenther et al [31] and Casagrande et al [7] emphasize the need for broadening interventions beyond increasing individual awareness of the value of vegetables and education toward altering eating behavior. While several studies have shown successful improvements in vegetable consumption through various dietary behavior change programs [37,39], others have not reported these benefits [40,41]. More effective intervention possibilities may include increasing access to vegetables [42].…”

BackgroundRecommendations for daily dietary vegetable intake were increased in the 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines as consumption of a diet rich in vegetables has been associated with lower risk of certain chronic health disorders including cardiovascular disease. However, vegetable consumption in the United States has declined over the past decade; consequently, the gap between dietary recommendations and vegetable intake is widening. The primary aim of this study is to determine if drinking vegetable juice is a practical way to help meet daily dietary recommendations for vegetable intake consistent with the 2005 Dietary Guidelines and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. The secondary aim is to assess the effect of a vegetable juice on measures of cardiovascular health.MethodsWe conducted a 12-week, randomized, controlled, parallel-arm study consisting of 3 groups of free-living, healthy volunteers who participated in study visits at the Ragle Human Nutrition Research Center at the University of California, Davis. All subjects received education on the DASH diet and 0, 8 or 16 fluid ounces of vegetable juice daily. Assessments were completed of daily vegetable servings before and after incorporation of vegetable juice and cardiovascular health parameters including blood pressure.ResultsWithout the juice, vegetable intake in all groups was lower than the 2005 Dietary Guidelines and DASH diet recommendations. The consumption of the vegetable juice helped participants reach recommended intake. In general, parameters associated with cardiovascular health did not change over time. However, in the vegetable juice intervention groups, subjects who were pre-hypertensive at the start of the study showed a significant decrease in blood pressure during the 12-week intervention period.ConclusionIncluding 1-2 cups of vegetable juice daily was an effective and acceptable way for healthy adults to close the dietary vegetable gap. Increase in daily vegetable intake was associated with a reduction in blood pressure in subjects who were pre-hypertensive at the start of the trial.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01161706

“…Çalışma sonuçları, gelir durumuna göre sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu ve gelir düzeyi yükseldikçe sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarında artış olduğu, en yüksek puanın 2000 tl ve üzeri gelire sahip olanlarda olduğunu göstermiştir. Kadınlarla yapılan bir çalışmada şişmanlığın daha sık ve sağlıklı beslenmenin düşük sosyo-ekonomik gruplarda daha az görüldüğü 33 , gelir düzeyinin sağlık durumunu algılama, sağlık konusunda sorumluluk alma ve sağlığı geliştirme davranışları üzerinde etkili olduğu, gelir arttıkça sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları puanının arttığı belirtilmiştir 19,30,34 . Bu bulgular da çalışmamızı destekler yönde sonuçlar sunmuştur.…”
