Heart Health On The Plant-Based Diet
The plant-based diet has multiple benefits for heart health.
According to the National Library of Medicine "An unhealthy diet is the most significant potential behavioral and modifiable risk factor for ischemic heart disease." Later in the introduction "The most important potential behavioral risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD) is an unhealthy diet, which has a high content of sodium, trans fats and processed meats but low amounts of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds."1
But how does a plant-based diet improve heart health?
"Plant-based diets can lower all-cause mortality and lower the risk of ischemic heart disease with reduced IHD-related mortality. It can also optimize blood pressure, glycemic and lipid control and thus reduce the need for medications."1 In addition, a plant-based diet can reduce your odds of getting high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes2 and reduce other health conditions such as obesity.
Wow! So not only can a plant-based diet help lower mortality, and reduce your chances of getting diseases, but it can also save you money as well because it can reduce your need for medications!
