Abstract:
Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) is a clinical syndrome in which there is a causal relationship between metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular damage. The incidence and mortality rates of CMD remain high despite the use of potent pharmacologic interventions and clinical therapeutic approaches. There is an urgent need for effective evidence-based comprehensive management measures to improve patients' lifespan and quality of life. From the concept of "nourishing through food" proposed in the Huangdi's Internal Classic (Huang Di Nei Jing) to the widespread application of modern dietary patterns such as dietary restriction, plant-based diets, and Jiangnan cuisine, dietary regulation plays a significant role in preventing diseases, early treatment of existing diseases, and recovery. This article systematically reviewed the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory related to dietary patterns, elucidated the cutting-edge evidence and mechanisms of modern dietary patterns like dietary restriction in preventing and treating CMD, and explored the strategy of integrating TCM theory with dietary patterns, aiming to establish a new food-nutrition-medicine approach that combines traditional Chinese and western medicine and provide novel insights and directions for the clinical management of CMD.
