The complex nature of atherosclerosis is influenced by a number of factors, including age. The aim of prevention and therapy is to eliminate the risk factors identified or reduce their detrimental effects. Regardless of the degree to which aging itself plays a role in the sickness process, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accident, aortic aneurysm, occlusive peripheral vascular disease, and phlebothrombosis are the most common and serious cardiovascular disorders among older adults. Kiwi is a well-known antioxidant fruit that has gained popularity because of its many therapeutic uses and high yield. It is abundant in carotenoids, phenolics, ascorbic acid, and other antioxidants. Rich in antioxidants, kiwis reduce the risk of chronic illnesses including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. The nutritional and functional qualities of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) have drawn attention to them in recent decades. Oats have become more popular as a meal in recent years since they are thought to provide a number of health advantages. The bran of oats is not as physically different as that of other cereals, which makes them unique. Walnuts' relatively quick effects on a number of CVD targets lend credence to the idea that they should be a part of any heart-healthy diet. A remarkable oil seed crop, sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are grown all over the world for their seeds. Sunflower seeds are a nutrient-dense diet that may help with cancer, heart disease, skin disorders, bacterial and fungal infections, and chronic inflammatory problems.
