Dietary Factors
Soy foods are associated with decreased LDL and total blood cholesterol levels, as well as other vascular effects associated with reduced CHD risk. Tofu, tempeh, miso, soy flour, soy milk, and soy nuts are among the soy foods that contain isoflavones, estrogen-like compounds that are thought to be responsible for these beneficial cardiovascular effects.
Antioxidant substances found in food and taken as dietary supplements include vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene (a plant precursor to vitamin A). Dietary antioxidants may lower CHD risk, although clinical trials have not yet supported this notion.
