Balance Your Plate: Embrace Plant-Based Choices for Health and Longevity
Understanding dietary guidelines requires awareness of the influences behind them, particularly from organizations like the USDA, which, while considering a multitude of factors, may not focus solely on nutrition. Evidence from cancer research emphasizes the detrimental effects of alcohol on health, particularly its contribution to poor sleep and subsequent fatigue, which can impede exercise and healthy eating habits. Cancer authorities strongly advocate for a plant-based diet, with different organizations recommending varying levels of plant predominance; for instance, the Mediterranean diet, while beneficial, can be enhanced by adopting a more plant-based approach. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine supports even greater emphasis on a plant-predominant diet. While the concept of a more plant-centric diet is supported by research, communication of these ideas can be challenging for patients to grasp.
