15 Jul 2019 --- Restricting calorie intake moderately can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack in people only marginally overweight, a new study from the University of Sydney, Australia has found. In addition to significantly improving conventional cardiometabolic risk factors, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease CVD by about a factor of 13, trial participants also enjoyed major improvements on a range of risk factors linked to problems such as Type 2 diabetes, stroke, inflammation and some forms of cancer. The researchers note that the findings could point to proactive measures and preventative treatment for non-communicable diseases such as CVD.
