Heart disease and diabetes are two deadly conditions that you do not want to experience, yet the likelihood that you will are great, especially if you are not maintaining the best lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

• Our poor diet is not only unhealthy but can also kill us.
• Sodium, processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, and red meats lead to diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases, and eventually death.
• In order to stay healthy, add more nut, fruits, vegetables, seafood omega-3 fats, and whole grains to your diet.

"Data published in the March 7 issue of JAMA indicated that the highest number of cardiometabolic deaths were associated with too much sodium and processed meat, and not enough nuts and seeds, seafood omega-3 fats, vegetable, and fruit, compared with optimal consumption levels."

• Micha and colleagues identified 10 dietary components tied to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes: sodium, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, unprocessed red meats, processed meats, polyunsaturated fats like soybean or corn oils, seafood omega-3 fats and sugar-sweetened beverages.

"The good news is that we now understand more about which foods would help prevent Americans from dying prematurely from cardiometabolic diseases."
