Abstract
The present review aims to provide specific dietary guidelines based on scientific evidence to prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In general, a high daily consumption of foods of plant origin (whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts) is recommended compared to foods of animal origin, especially red and processed meats, moderate use of extra virgin olive oil as a culinary fat compared to other types of fats and oils, and low salt intake, especially from processed foods. Despite the scientific evidence and the nutritional education carried out in primary care, CVD continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide, which highlights the need to develop attractive and motivating approaches that enable the population to adhere definitively to healthy habits.
