Plant-Based Diets

A plant-based diet refers to a diet that meets daily nutritional needs through the intake of plant foods and is dominated by plant foods. Among current global dietary trends, more and more people are paying attention to plant-based diets, which are believed to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.

- A plant-based diet can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Plant foods are rich in nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. For example, by consuming plant-based foods in the diet, an adult can consume about 20 grams of cholesterol per day, well below the recommended daily intake of 300 milligrams.

- A plant-based diet can help reduce the risk of diabetes. Many people with diabetes want to manage their blood sugar levels through diet, and a plant-based diet is a good option. This is because the carbohydrate content in plant foods is lower and the main component is fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of blood sugar and reduces blood sugar peaks. In addition, nutrients rich in plant foods such as vitamin C and chromium can also improve insulin sensitivity and help control blood sugar levels.

- A plant-based diet helps reduce the intake of animal foods. Animal foods are high in cholesterol and fat, substances that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. By consuming plant-based foods, people can reduce these risks. In addition, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are paying attention to animal welfare issues, and plant-based diets can avoid the ethical issues caused by animal slaughter and breeding.

- A plant-based diet can also help improve physical health. Plant foods are rich in antioxidants and fiber, which help slow down aging, improve immunity, and prevent chronic diseases. For example, red and purple fruits and vegetables are rich in anthocyanins, which have strong antioxidant effects and can help slow down aging. In addition, plant-based foods are also rich in dietary fiber, which helps maintain intestinal health and prevent diseases such as constipation and intestinal cancer.

However, there are some challenges with a plant-based diet.
