MoKaRi Study Overview
The MoKaRi study focuses on improving heart and metabolic health through diet. It examines how two different eating plans can reduce risks linked to heart disease.
Study Details
In this 20-week study, 65 participants with high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL-C) were involved. They were not taking any cholesterol-lowering medications. Each participant received personalized meal plans to help improve their eating habits. To ensure they followed these plans, they had counseling sessions every two weeks, which included cooking lessons and nutrition education.
Key Findings
After 20 weeks, significant health improvements were observed:
- Total cholesterol decreased by up to 15%.
- LDL-C dropped by up to 16%.
- Body weight decreased by 5-8%.
- Waist circumference reduced by 6-9%.
- Diastolic blood pressure fell by 8%.
- Apolipoprotein A1 and B levels decreased by up to 20% and 15% respectively.
- Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels dropped by up to 3.6%.
Benefits of Fish Oil
Participants who also took fish oil with their meal plans experienced greater benefits:
- Weight loss was about 3% more.
- Body fat reduction was 9% greater.
- Triglycerides dropped by 14% more.
- Inflammation markers like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein decreased significantly.
Conclusions
The MoKaRi diet effectively reduced many cardiovascular risk factors. Combining meal plans with fish oil supplementation led to even better results.
Next Steps for Clinics and Patients
To maximize these findings, clinics can set clear goals for patient outcomes using the MoKaRi diet. Here are some suggestions:
- Define measurable health outcomes to track progress.
- Implement the diet step by step, starting with a pilot project.
- Utilize AI solutions to support clinical needs and track results effectively.
