Abstract

Peripheral artery disease is a major health problem. It affects over 200 million people globally. It results in considerable suffering, curtailed functionality, and markedly reduced quality of life. Its presence prognosticates significantly higher major cardiovascular events. Atherosclerosis is the main disease process underlying its development and progression. Several lifestyle modifications have been shown to stem atherosclerosis. Consumption of a prudent diet is one such beneficial lifestyle. A prudent diet promotes the consumption of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats such as nuts and seeds, low-fat dairy products, fish, and small amounts of lean meat. It limits the consumption of processed red meats, saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugar-sweetened drinks. This manuscript reviews the present understanding of the role of diet in the development and progression of peripheral artery disease.
