Answer 1

b. Low fat foods

EXPLANATION:

Fish consumption also reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. The benefits are most evident in high risk groups. For these groups, consuming 40-60g of fish per day would lead to a 50% reduction in the number of deaths form coronary heart disease. Other dietary factors may also contribute to reducing the risk.

Nuts are high in unsaturated fatty acids and low in saturated fats, which contribute to lowering cholesterol levels. Several animal experiments have suggested that isoflavones, present in soy products, may provide protection against coronary heart disease.

Indeed, fibre that is also found in wholegrain cereals helps protect against coronary heart disease and lowers blood pressure.
