Dietary Fats in Hypertension and Hyperglycemia: Targeting the Cardiometabolic Axis Through Dietary Management

Dietary Fats in Hypertension and Hyperglycemia play a crucial role in managing cardiovascular and metabolic health. Different types of fats influence blood pressure and blood sugar levels differently. Saturated and trans fats tend to worsen hypertension and insulin resistance, while unsaturated fats, especially omega-3 and monounsaturated fats, can improve heart health and glucose control. Dietary management focusing on replacing harmful fats with healthier fats from sources like fish, nuts, and plant oils helps target the cardiometabolic axis, supporting better control of both blood pressure and blood sugar. This approach is vital in preventing complications related to these conditions.

Functional Fats and the Cardiometabolic Axis: Dietary Strategies for Blood Pressure and Glycemic Control

Olive oil, rich in monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as well as phenolic compounds, promotes cardiometabolic health by reducing LDL oxidation, enhancing endothelial function, lowering inflammatory markers, and improving insulin sensitivity and β‑cell function. Clinical studies highlight its benefits on blood pressure, lipid profiles, and postprandial glycemia, especially within Mediterranean-style dietary patterns. Its culinary versatility ensures health benefits are preserved: extra virgin olive oil is ideal for salads and low-heat cooking to retain antioxidants, olive oil for Indian cooking withstands high smoking point, and classic olive oil delivers a rich flavor for Mediterranean and specialty dishes.

Targeting the Cardiometabolic Axis: The Role of Dietary Fats in Blood Pressure and Glycemic Control

Olive oil, a nutrient-dense source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids along with phenolic compounds, supports heart and metabolic health through multiple mechanisms, including reducing LDL oxidation, improving endothelial function, lowering inflammation, and enhancing insulin sensitivity and β‑cell function. Clinical trials demonstrate its positive effects on blood pressure, lipid management, and postprandial glucose control, particularly when included in Mediterranean-style diets. Its practical culinary applications help retain these health benefits: extra virgin olive oil is best for salads and gentle cooking to preserve antioxidants, olive oil formulated for Indian cooking tolerates high-heat preparation, and classic olive oil offers robust flavor for Mediterranean and specialty dishes.

Optimizing Cardiometabolic Health Dietary Fat Approaches to Hypertension and Hyperglycemia

Olive oil, a rich source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and phenolic compounds, promotes heart and metabolic health by protecting against LDL oxidation, reducing inflammation, and supporting insulin function. Studies show it improves blood pressure, lipid levels, and post-meal glucose, particularly in Mediterranean-style diets. Culinary forms preserve its benefits: extra virgin olive oil for salads and gentle cooking, Indian-style olive oil for high-heat dishes, and classic olive oil for flavorful Mediterranean and specialty recipes.
