High-fiber diet 'benefits heart attack patients'
By Michelle Roberts
Health editor, BBC News online
If you have had a heart attack, eat plenty of fiber because it may improve your long-term
chances of recovery, say US researchers.
Heart-attack survivors were more likely to be alive nine years later if they followed a high-fiber diet,
a study in the British Medical Journal found.
Every 10g-per-day increase in fiber intake was linked with a 15% drop in death risk during the
study.
Dietary fibre may improve blood pressure and cholesterol, experts say.
On average, most people in the UK get about 14g of fiber a day, against a target of at least 18g. US
experts recommend up to 38g a day.
Fruit, such as bananas and apples, root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, wholemeal bread,
cereals and bran are all good sources of dietary fiber.
A jacket potato and baked beans contain about 10g of fiber; two slices of wholemeal bread about 4g.
Breakfast cereals
A low-fiber diet is associated with constipation and gut diseases, such as diverticulitis and bowel
cancer, but it may also have implications for heart health, say US researchers.
The Harvard School of Public Health team analysed data from two large US studies involving more
than 4,000 men and women who had survived a first heart attack and had provided information
about their usual diet via questionnaires.
They were followed for an average of almost nine years after their heart attacks, during which time
682 of the women and 451 of the men died.
Chances of survival appeared to be linked with fiber intake, which was mostly from breakfast
cereals.
The one in five who ate most fiber had a 25% lower chance of dying from any cause during the nine
years after their heart attack compared with the fifth who ate the least.
The high-fiber group was 13% less likely to have a fatal heart attack.
The researchers say the findings point to a simple lifestyle step that people could take, alongside
their medication, to improve their long-term health prospects.
Victoria Taylor, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "High-fiber foods are a key part of a healthy
balanced diet, and this study suggests they may have a particular benefit for heart-attack survivors.
"We can't say for sure what caused the fiber benefit seen here, but we do know that, on average,
we're not getting enough fiber in our diets.
"Fiber comes from a range of foods, including fruit and veg, beans and lentils, and also from cereal
products, which this study found to be particularly beneficial.
"To get more fiber, you can make simple swaps, such as trading white bread for wholegrain versions
or opting for higher-fiber breakfast cereals, like porridge or muesli."
