It is not 1+1+1=3, but 1+1+1>3.
When a person’s body is invaded by the “3-highs”- high blood sugar, high blood lipids and high blood pressure, the chance that pathological changes in the blood vessels causing the speed of vascular lesions increases significantly. Patients with the "3-highs" consequently succumb to coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular conditions.
A fresh report from the American Heart Association (AHA) informs that the incidence of heart disease in the United States continues to increase at an alarming rate. AHA President Steven Houser pointed out that heart disease in the population continues to spread much faster than forecasted. AHA researchers had forecasted in 2011 that 40% of Americans would have some form of heart disease by 2030. But there had been a big deviation from this forecast - by 2015, however, 41.5% of the population in America were diagnosed with at least one heart-related disease 15 years ahead of the prior forecast. Following up, the agency forecasted that by 2035 more than 123 million Americans could be diagnosed with high blood pressure; 24 million with coronary artery disease; more than 11 million could suffer from stroke; nearly 9 million from heart failure; and more than 7 million from atrial fibrillation.
The World Health Organization advises that a healthy diet can help to prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
It also recommends healthy eating for adults as follows:
1. Fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and whole beans (such as unprocessed corn, millet, oats, barley, and brown rice).
2. Consume at least 400 grams daily of fruits and vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and other starchy root foods that are not fruits or vegetables.
3. For a person with a healthy weight and daily requirement of about 2000 calories, less than 10% of the energy should come from free sugars - these being mostly added to food by manufacturers, cooks, or consumers. Instead, favor sugar naturally present in honey, syrup, juices and concentrated juices.
4. Fat content should account for less than 30% of total energy. Industrial production of trans-fats (from processed foods, fast food, snacks, fried food, frozen pizza, pies, biscuits, margarine and coated food paste, etc.) is not good for health.
5. Daily salt intake of less than 5 grams (equivalent to about a tablespoon).

Finally, it also highlights the need to reduce fat consumption: change the way of cooking, remove fat, use vegetable oils (instead of animal oils), cook or bake instead of fry, avoid processed foods that contain trans-fats and eat less saturated fats such as cheese, ice cream and fatty meat.
不是1+1+1=3，而是1+1+1>3。
當人體血管遭受「高血糖、高血脂和高血壓」這「三高」侵害時，血管病變的速度明顯加快。所以「三高」患者最終往往死於冠心病或者腦血管意外。
美國心臟協會（AHA） 一份新鮮出爐的報告稱，美國人的心臟病發病率正在以令人不安的速度增加。AHA會長Steven Houser指出，心臟病在人群中的蔓延速度大大超出了預期。AHA研究人員曾在2011年預測，截至2030年40%的美國人將患有某種心臟病。但這一預測顯示出巨大誤差──在2015年全美人口中就已有41.5%的人被診斷患有至少一種與心臟病相關的疾病，這比此前的預測提前了15年。該報告預測截至2035年：超過 1.23億美國人恐患有高血壓；2400萬人患有冠狀動脈疾病；超1100萬人將罹患中風；近900萬人會出現心臟衰竭；超700萬人會出現心房顫動。
世界衛生組織指出：健康飲食能幫助預防包括糖尿病、心臟病、中風等疾病。
還給出了成人的健康飲食建議：
還給出了成人的健康飲食建議：
1、水果、蔬菜、豆類、堅果和全豆類（例如未加工的玉米、小米、燕麥、大麥、糙米）。
2、每天至少食用400克水果和蔬菜，馬鈴薯、番薯、木薯和其它澱粉類根莖食物不屬於水果或蔬菜。
3、對於一個有著健康體重每天消耗大約2000卡路里的人來說，應只有不到10%的能量來自游離糖，多數游離糖由廠商、廚師或消費者添入食品，並天然存在於蜂蜜、糖漿、果汁和濃縮果汁中。
4、脂肪含量占總能量的30%以下，工業製作的反式脂肪（來自加工食品、速食、零食、油炸食品、冷凍披薩、餡餅、餅乾、人造奶油和塗抹食品的醬膏等）無益於健康。
5、每日食鹽量低於5克（相當於大約一茶匙）。

最後還強調了要減少脂肪的攝入量：改變烹調方式，剔除肥肉；用植物油（而不是動物油）；蒸煮或烘焙，而不是煎炒；避免食用含有反式脂肪的加工食品；少吃含有大量飽和脂肪的食物（如乳酪、霜淇淋和肥肉）。
