Eating mostly whole, unprocessed plant foods like vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains is more important for preventing heart disease than worrying about whether you eat more fat or carbs.

This study found that eating more whole plants like vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains lowers heart disease risk a lot — even more than just worrying about how much fat or carbs you eat.

Whether you eat low-carb or low-fat, what matters most for your heart is whether your food comes from plants (like veggies, beans, whole grains) or processed/animal products — plant-based foods lower heart disease risk no matter the carb or fat percentage.

This study found that people who ate mostly whole plants like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains — and lived healthily — had much lower heart disease risk, even if they were genetically prone to it. This supports the idea that what you eat (whole plants) matters more than just how much fat or carbs you consume.

This study says what you eat — like veggies, nuts, and whole grains instead of processed junk — matters more for heart health than whether your diet is high in fat or carbs.
