14 Nov 2019 --- Processed foods, accounting for more than half of an average US consumer’s daily calories, are linked to lower measures of cardiovascular health, while heart-healthy nutritional habits during pregnancy can help children develop healthy hearts. This is according to findings from preliminary studies that are to be presented at the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2019, which are set to take place on November 16-18, in Philadelphia, US. AHA’s Scientific Sessions is an annual global exchange in cardiovascular science, which seeks to better inform researchers and clinicians on the latest scientific advances. Healthy nutrition in relation to heart health is spotlighted by the organization’s pre-released studies, among a wide range of other heart-health related research.
