Importance of Omnivorous Diet for Health
Eating an omnivorous diet, with a foundation of clean source meats and a variety of fruits and vegetables, is crucial for overall health. Studies comparing protein-matched omnivorous and vegan diets have shown significantly higher rates of muscle protein synthesis in omnivorous diets, especially important as we age. The diet provides essential amino acids like leucine that stimulate muscle protein synthesis, which may be lacking in plant-based diets.
