The article titled "FOOD AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT NOT TO EAT" discusses the alarming statistics of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Pakistan, which surpass global averages. The World Health Organization identifies unhealthy diet as a modifiable behavioral risk factor for CVD, and in Pakistan, the consumption of unhealthy foods contributes to adverse cardiometabolic profiles. The lack of localized guidelines and accessible nutritionists poses challenges for Pakistani patients with CVD. The article emphasizes the need for comprehensive and culturally relevant patient education resources to empower individuals to make informed dietary choices and improve cardiovascular outcomes.
