The Paleo diet emphasizes consumption of foods presumed to have been available to our ancestors, promoting a diet free from processed items and grains. A study involving healthy individuals indicated positive heart health effects after eight weeks on the diet. Participants showed an increase in interlukin-10 (IL-10) levels, which could lower the risk of heart attacks by counteracting inflammation. Although further research is needed to investigate inflammation levels, these initial findings suggest promise for the Paleo diet in enhancing cardiovascular health.
The Paleo diet, based on ancient human eating habits, shows potential heart health benefits, including increased levels of the protective molecule IL-10, according to recent research.
Following the Paleo diet for eight weeks led to a significant rise in IL-10 levels among participants, which suggests a potential decrease in heart attack risk due to lower inflammation.
