Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Mediterranean diet reduces heart disease in women by nearly 25%, says study
dailyrecord.co.ukEating a Mediterranean diet could decrease the chances of developing heart disease by nearly 25 per cent in women, according to a new study.
According to the World Health Organization, heart disease is the number one killer of both woman and men across the globe. Heart Research UK statistics show that coronary artery disease killed more than two times the number of women as breast cancer in 2020.
However, research suggests that eating a specific diet could help reduce risk. Analysis, published in the journal Heart in the British Medical Journal, combined studies on the Mediterranean diet to identify the benefits of foods - such as vegetables and fruits, whole grains, legume, nuts and seafood - as well as a lower intake of red and processed meats.Women taking part in the study were given a higher intake of foods associated with the diet.
From an initial haul of 190 relevant studies, the researchers analysed a total of 16 published between 2003 and 2021. The studies involved more than 700,000 female participants aged 18 and above whose cardiovascular health was monitored for an average of 12.5 years.The team, led by academics from the University of Sydney in Australia, found that woman who most closely followed the Mediterranean diet had a 24 per cent lower risk of heart disease as well as a 23 per cent lower risk of early death compared to woman who barely followed the diet.
