The good news is men and women who take a daily multivitamin have fewer heart attacks than those who do not, according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition. Healthful habits are essential to a healthy heart. Studies show regular exercise, not smoking, and eating a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, and fiber are effective ways to protect the heart. Multivitamins can help fill the gaps when our diets are lacking.
The Swedish study included 1,296 men and women who had experienced a first heart attack more than one month previously. They were compared with 1,685 men and women who had never suffered a heart attack. The use of multivitamins was shown to reduce the risk of non-fatal heart attack. Men taking a multi were 22 percent less likely, and women 33 percent less likely, to have a non-fatal heart attack.
