The Paleo and Keto diets beloved of celebs like Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow are the worst for your heart, a scientific study claims. But the Mediterranean, pescatarian and vegetarian diets adopted by the likes of Beyoncé, Selena Gomez and Harry Styles are far better for us.
A new report from the American Heart Association (AHA) ranked popular diets on how good or bad they are in terms of heart healthiness. The resulting rankings placed popular selective diets such as the Mediterranean, pescatarian and vegetarian diets in the top tier for heart health.
Just above these at the pinnacle of healthy heart eating are DASH diets - subscribed to by American singers Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Hudson - which include foods rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium and are designed to control blood pressure. However, extreme dieting fads such as the Keto and Paleo diets were found to be detrimental to heart health due to reduced fibre intake and a lack of limits on consuming saturated fats.
