WHO guidelines to decrease both coronary heart disease and diabetes, triple treatment involves
Correct Answer: Healthy diet, regular physical exercise, Decreased salt intakes
Description: (D) Healthy diet, regular physical exercise,Decreased salt intakes # Tripple treatment:1. Dietary changes: Dietary modification is the principal preventive strategy in the prevention of CHD. The WHO Expert Committee considered the following dietary changes to be appropriate for high incidence populations: reduction of fat intake to 20-30 per cent of total energy intake consumption of saturated fats must be limited to less than 10 per cent of total energy intake; some of the reduction in saturated fat may be made up by mcmo- and poly-unsaturated fats a reduction of dietary cholesterol to below 100 mg per 1000 kcal per day an increase in complex carbohydrate consumption (i.e., vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes) avoidance of alcohol consumption; reduction of salt intake to 5 g daily or less .2. Blood pressure: It has been estimated that even a small reduction in the average blood pressure of the whole population by a mere 2 or 3 mm Hg would produce a large reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular complications. The goal of the population approach to high blood pressure would thus be to reduce mean population blood pressure levels. This involves a multifactorial approach based on a "prudent diet" (reduced salt intake and avoidance of a high alcohol intake), regular physical activity and weight control. The potential benefits and the safety and low cost of this advice would justify its implementation.3. Physical activity: Regular physical activity should be a part of normal daily life. It is particularly important to encourage children to take up physical activities that they can continue throughout their lives.
