Away from total cholesterol, oxidative stress and inflammation as well as antiplatelet effects are additional approaches for reducing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In spite of key advancements in the management of CVDs, these problems continue to escalation and may be a principal cause of mortality and morbidity. Latest studies point out that these risk markers progress as a consequence of increased intake of western-type diets described by ultra-processed foods, processed meat and red meat, which are known to predispose to all the biomarkers of CVDs. A number of studies have validated that Mediterranean-style diets characterized by vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts and certain agents such as fish oil, mustard oil, rape seed oil, olive oil and fish as well as fish peptides have advantageous effects on morbidity and mortality consequent to CVDs without declining serum cholesterol. These advantages may be due to the presence of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and poly- phenolics and fiber in the diet. This putative communication targets to highlight that morbidity and mortality due to CVDs may be reduced through non-pharmacological interventions without the necessity of decreasing cholesterol under following salient heads.
