For the first time in history, researchers have found that a healthy plant-based diet improves metabolism, liver and kidney function, and also reduces the likelihood of obesity. According to a study published in Diabetes & Metabolism, a plant-based diet helps reduce the risk of diabetes only if you reduce the consumption of both animal-based foods and industrially processed foods rich in sugar.
According to the research team’s analyses, a healthy plant-based diet, which includes fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains, reduces the risk of diabetes by 24%. A healthy plant-based diet can help reduce the risk of diabetes even if you have genetic predispositions and other risk factors for diabetes, such as obesity, older age or lack of physical activity. Conversely, an unhealthy plant-based diet high in sweets, processed grains and sugary drinks is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
