Excerpted from the recent book contribution by Senior Fellow Dr. Russell M. Jaffe, MD, Ph.D., CCN investigating the use of bioactive food as a therapeutic intervention for treatment of cardiovascular disease, this chapter focuses on cardioprotective nutrients.
A range of foods and bioavailable supplements are now available that provide better outcomes and clinically significant leverage in managing the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Targeted supplementation, in combination with individualized diet therapy, are included as are mental and physical exercises aimed at evoking healing responses in proportion to documented risk reductions.
