Portfolio diet may decrease risk of heart disease and stroke

October 30, 2023—The portfolio diet—a plant-based diet designed to lower unhealthy cholesterol, emphasizing plant proteins (legumes), phytosterols (nuts and seeds), viscous fiber (oats, barley, berries, apples), and plant-based monounsaturated fatty acids (avocado)—may lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, according to a new study co-authored by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The study was published on October 25 in Circulation.

While previous studies have pointed to the portfolio diet’s potential to lower unhealthy cholesterol, no research had been conducted on the diet’s long-term effects, particularly on the risk of heart disease. Additionally, according to Andrea Glenn, postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Nutrition and one of the study’s authors, the portfolio diet is relatively unknown compared to the DASH and Mediterranean diets. While the three are similar, the portfolio diet places more emphasis on plant-based foods and excluding meat.

組合飲食可以降低心臟病和中風的風險
2023 年10 月30 日－組合飲食－一種旨在降低不健康膽固醇的植物性飲食，強調植物性蛋白質（豆類）、植物固醇（堅果和種子）、黏性纖維（燕麥、大麥、莓果、蘋果）和植物性飲食哈佛大學 T.H.陳公共衛生學院。

該研究於 10 月 25 日發表在《Circulation》雜誌上。

雖然先前的研究指出組合飲食有降低不健康膽固醇的潛力，但尚未對飲食的長期影響進行研究，特別是對心臟病風險的影響。此外，研究的作者之一、營養系博士後研究員 Andrea Glenn 表示，與 DASH 飲食和地中海飲食相比，組合飲食相對不為人所知。雖然三者相似，但組合飲食更注重植物性食品，不包括肉類。

The portfolio Fêtes—a group of eight embossed etchings by Calder paired with a prose-poem by Jacques Prévert—was published in 1971 in a limited edition. Jean Lipman detailed Calder’s printing process in the catalogue for the artist’s 1976 retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, which included Fêtes: “He made an exact drawing in color, and then cut the abstract shapes from sheet metal a bit heavier than the aluminum he uses for mobiles,” Lipman wrote. “These shapes were laid out in the open press, arranged according to the drawing, and the specified colors were brushed on. The paper was run through the press, and the metal pieces produced a subtle embossed effect.”

He also helped extricate them from the orbit of Yeats’s influence exclusively, and to encourage us to see them as productive and interesting artists in their own right.”

in a bind

Also, in a box or hole or jam or tight corner or tight spot. In a difficult, threatening, or embarrassing position; also, unable to solve a dilemma. For example, He's put us in a bind: we can't refuse, but at the same time we can't fill the order, or Jim's in a box; he can't afford to pay what he owes us, or He quit without giving notice and now we're really in a hole, or We always end up in a jam during the holiday season, or He's in a tight corner with those new customers, or We'll be in a tight spot unless we can find another thousand dollars.

All these colloquial terms allude to places from which one can't easily extricate oneself. The phrase using bind was first recorded in 1851; box, 1865; jam, 1914; tight spot, 1852. Also see in a fix.

The normal frequency of bowel movements in adults is between three per day and three per week.[4] Babies often have three to four bowel movements per day while young children typically have two to three per day.[6]
