Nutrition Evidence Alert – June 2026 – Cardiovascular Health

Despite advances in cardiovascular medicine, rates of disease continue to rise, which may be due to a focus on the management of cardiovascular disease after development rather than the drivers of disease and prevention. 

In a bid to redress the focus, this month the NED experts have examined the latest evidence on the nutrition and lifestyle strategies aiding prevention and shaping cardiovascular care, providing practical insights to support evidence-based clinical practice
