MULERO, Juana et al. Bioactive substances with preventive effect in cardiovascular diseases. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.4, pp.1462-1467. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2015.32.4.9510.

The effect of diet on cardiovascular disease prevention has been widely studied for many years. Numerous studies have confirmed that diets rich in fruits and vegetables (Mediterranean diet) are beneficial to the cardiovascular system and various bioactive food components have preventive effect on chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. In this paper we review the effect of bioactive substances included in the group of flavonoids (catechins and proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins and isoflavones), stilbenes such as resveratrol, bioactive peptides, plant sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids omega- 3 on the cardiovascular system.
