Plant-Based Diet Slows Aging
A study published in the journal BMC Medicine found that following a healthy plant-based diet can slow down the aging process. The study, which followed almost 13,000 participants over eight years, categorized their dietary patterns into healthy plant-based, unhealthy plant-based, and regular diets. By measuring a marker of aging over the years, researchers observed that those following a healthy plant-based diet showed a slower rate of aging compared to the other groups. This study emphasizes the importance of consuming whole, minimally processed plant foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains to promote healthy aging.
