Foods high in saturated fats can contribute to the development of plaque in the bloodstream and increase both the risk and the severity of PAD. Eating heart-healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables can dramatically reduce the effects of the disease. By avoiding high fat items and increasing the amount of raw vegetables and fruits in your diet, you can reduce your risk for a number of serious ailments, including type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease, all of which are contributors to PAD.
