Cardiovascular disease remains the UK’s leading cause of death. A well-designed ketogenic diet can actively support heart health through multiple mechanisms.
Extra-virgin olive oil (oleocanthal and polyphenols reduce inflammation), fatty fish (omega-3 EPA and DHA reduce triglycerides and inflammation), avocados (monounsaturated fats raise HDL), nuts (particularly walnuts — reduce LDL and inflammation), and leafy greens (nitrates, vitamins K2, folate).
Monday: Sardines on (keto) toast / Greek salad / Salmon with wilted spinach. Tuesday: Smoked salmon eggs / Avocado tuna salad / Mackerel with roasted courgette. Wednesday–Sunday: Continue emphasising fatty fish 3× per week, olive oil in all dressings, and nuts as daily snacks.
Ultra-processed meats (high in sodium and nitrites), excessive processed cheese, and very high quantities of saturated fat from lower-quality sources.
