Vascular Medicine Conference-CVC 2026

Nutrition plays a crucial role in keeping our vascular health in check. It impacts everything from our blood lipid levels to how well our blood vessels function and even our body's inflammation levels. Eating a diet packed with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help maintain healthy blood vessels, reduce oxidative stress, and lower the chances of developing conditions like atherosclerosis, hypertension, and peripheral artery disease. On the flip side, indulging in processed foods, saturated fats, and added sugars can speed up vascular damage and heighten the risk of heart-related issues.Beyond just the overall diet, certain nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber are particularly beneficial. When we combine good nutrition with lifestyle changes, regular exercise, and managing risk factors, we can significantly improve our vascular health. Tailoring dietary advice to individual needs can help reduce risks, enhance blood vessel function, and promote long-term heart health for people at different levels of vascular risk.
