Eating One Cup of Dark Leafy Greens May Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease Kelly Vaughan © Provided by Martha Stewart Living AnjelaGr / Getty Images Health experts have long touted the benefits of consuming vegetables and greens like spinach, kale, cabbage, and collard greens. However, a new study has found that eating one cup of dark leafy greens each day may lower your risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure. Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia investigated whether or not people who regularly ate high quantities of nitrate-rich vegetables like leafy greens had lower blood pressure and a lower risk of developing heart disease later in life. Using 23 year s worth of data from over 50,000 Danish citizens, the team found that people who consumed the most nitrate-rich vegetables had, on average, a 2.5 mmHg lower systolic blood pressure and a 12 to 26 percent lower risk of heart disease.

X-rays could help identify potential heart risk

X-rays could help identify potential heart risk Rodrigo Abd/AP and last updated 2021-01-18 12:15:37-05 (KERO) — Doctors could one day be able to use an x-ray to determine a patient s risk of having a heart attack. Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia found that x-rays or CT- scans of the abdominal aorta could show signs of heart disease. They say that is where calcium builds up first and an x-ray could allow doctors to make necessary lifestyle changes in patients. Researchers say more than 50 studies showed people with higher levels of calcium in the abdominal aorta were two to four times more likely to experience a heart event.
