A new review study that looked at 95 articles found that by comparison, healthful plant-based diets (that includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and oils) most often resulted in improvements in weight, mortality (risk of dying), diabetes, cardiovascular (heart) disease, and psychiatric disorders.
A plant-based diet is an eating pattern that focuses on plant foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Before you start a plant-based diet, it is good to explore whether it is right for you and learn what foods to eat and avoid when on it.
One study out of New Zealand found that individuals with obesity, heart disease, or diabetes who adopted a whole food plant-based diet experienced weight loss and had improvements in cholesterol levels and quality of life.
Aside from improvements in weight, plant-based diets may lower your risk of heart disease, according to a review study involving over 200,00 individuals.
