Consuming a plant-based diet--especially one rich in high-quality plant foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes--is linked with substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
This study highlights that even moderate dietary changes in
the direction of a healthful plant-based diet can play a significant role in
the prevention of type 2 diabetes. These findings provide further evidence to
support current dietary recommendations for chronic disease prevention.
While previous studies have found links between vegetarian
diets and improved health outcomes, including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes,
this new study is the first to make distinctions between healthy plant-based
diets and less healthy ones that include things like sweetened foods and
beverages, which may be detrimental for health. The study also considered the
effect of including some animal foods in the diet.
