Analytical and experimental studies confirm relationships between the consumption of certain foods and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Mediterranean diet patterns have long been associated with a reduced risk of major diseases and many favorable health outcomes. Data from observational, longitudinal, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that Mediterranean-style diets can improve body mass index and body weight, reduce the incidence of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome risk factors, decrease cardiovascular morbidity and coronary heart disease mortality, as well as decrease all-cause mortality. Recently, efforts have attempted to improve dietary habits in the workplace, by modifying food selection, eating patterns, meal frequency, and the sourcing of meals taken during work. Evidence supporting the Mediterranean diet and the potential cardioprotective role of healthier diets in the workplace are reviewed here, and promising strategies to improve metabolic and cardiovascular health outcomes are also provided.
分析和实验研究证实了某些食物的摄入与心血管疾病、糖尿病和癌症之间的关系。长期以来，地中海饮食模式一直与主要疾病风险降低以及许多良好的健康结果相关联。观察性、纵向和随机对照试验的数据表明，地中海式饮食可以改善体重指数和体重，降低糖尿病和代谢综合征风险因素的发生率，减少心血管疾病发病率和冠心病死亡率，以及降低全因死亡率。最近，人们试图通过改变食物选择、饮食模式、用餐频率和工作期间用餐的来源来改善工作场所的饮食习惯。本文综述了支持地中海饮食以及更健康饮食在工作场所潜在心脏保护作用的证据，并提供了改善代谢和心血管健康结果的有前景的策略。
