Cardiovascular disease is a major burden in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus . Dietary approaches or intervention which can reduce risk of cardiovascular disease raises attention. Viscous fiber bland, ginseng, oily grain - (Salba, Chia) have been repeatedly shown to attenuate cardiovascular disease risk factors in acute and long term trials .Viscous fibres ( guar, glucomannans, pectins, oat betaglucan and psyllium) continue to be seen as hypocholesterolaemic. Fiber’s physiological activity is thought to be critically dependent on its capacity to hydrate and thus increase the viscosity of human digest. American ginseng (AG) and Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) appear to affect glucose metabolism. AG seems to increase insulin secretion , KRG has a blood glucose lowering effect through increasing insulin sensitivity . Ginsengs also show benefit in hypertension control, by improving arterial stiffness. Salba is a variety of the ancient grain, used as food and remedy. It represents the highest whole food source of dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and is rich in vegetable protein, calcium, magnesium, iron, with high total antioxidant capacity.
