3. Plant-Based Diet
A plant-based diet focuses on whole, plant-derived foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and legumes, with minimal or no animal products. Many people choose plant-based eating for its environmental benefits and its ability to support heart health, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation.
Studies indicate that a plant-based diet can help reduce body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels. It may also decrease the need for medications used to manage chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
