N2 - Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world.Diets low in saturated and trans fats can reduce CHD risk.Strong evidence suggests that increased consumption of fatty fish and of n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 PUFA) is likely to reduce CHD risk.While supplementation with antioxidants and B-group vitamins are unlikely to reduce CHD risk, diets rich in these micronutrients (e.g., diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grain cereals) are associated with lower CHD risk.Maintaining a healthy weight and being physically active have each been shown to reduce CHD risk factors and CHD incidence.
