The ancient diet that can boost heart health
Forget the Mediterranean diet – food from another part of Europe is just as healthy
- A Nordic diet, comprising fish, vegetables, berries, and whole grains, offers significant health benefits beyond just heart health.
- New research published in Nature Communications found that this diet can effectively reduce liver fat in participants.
- The study demonstrated that over half of the participants with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) achieved remission through the Nordic diet.
- Remarkably, some patients also experienced a reversal of pre-diabetes, indicating its potential for managing Type 2 diabetes.
- The Nordic diet distinguishes itself from the Mediterranean diet by promoting canola and rapeseed oils, and focusing on sustainable, locally sourced produce.
