Erwin Loh: Can Fiber-Rich Foods Help Reduce Heart Disease Risk in Night Shift Workers?
Erwin Loh, President of Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, shared a post on LinkedIn about the recent article by Diana A. Nôga et al, published in European Journal of Epidemiology:
“Working night shifts can increase your odds of developing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).
But eating a diet high in fiber may help to mitigate this risk, a new study suggests.
Published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, the study reviewed data from more than 220,000 British adults and found that regular night shift workers who ate little fiber in their diets tended to have a higher risk of CHD than their peers who ate more fiber.
The findings suggest that eating a diet with fiber-rich foods – such as whole grains, vegetables, and legumes – could be a simple way for regular night shift workers to reduce their risk of heart disease.”
