Define in Moderation
Moderation has different meanings to different people because of genetics. I always say to my doctor that you should take into consideration the culture of people, and people of mixed culture. I don’t line- up with their diagnosis because of my mixed culture. It is for that reason that I am so interested in health. We have to use common sense as to what fits your genetic mixture. I found that “Eating Right for your Blood Type” by Dr. Peter J. D’adamo was the greatest help for me. It helped me understand my genetics through my blood type. I learned certain foods were not good for my blood type. Take for instance “fried chicken” and “spaghetti sauce”
Diets high in plant protein could lower consumers’ risk of death
Researchers say plant proteins are especially effective at preventing disease
Recent studies have highlighted how eating more plant-based foods can have a significant impact on consumers’ health. Plant based foods can improve both overall heart health, and lowering the risk for heart disease.
“These findings have important public health implications as the intake of plant protein can be increased relatively easily. By replacing animal protein you could have a large effect on longevity,” the researchers wrote.
Improving overall health
To understand how plant proteins can benefit consumers’ health, the researchers evaluated results from over 30 different studies. The analysis provided data on over 700,000 participants’ diet choices. They followed up with health check-ins to assess for possible disease or death.
The researchers learned that diet played a role in participants’ health and longevity. Studies revealed that the risk of death was eight percent lower for those who consumed the highest levels of plant proteins.
The researchers learned that higher consumption of plant proteins lowered the risk of cardiovascular-related deaths by 12 percent. This is important because several recent studies have shown how consumers’ diet choices can lower their risk of heart disease.
The researchers explained that the nutrients found in plant proteins have been linked with countless health benefits. Results revealed that important health indicators, like cholesterol and blood pressure, were better when participants consumed more plant-based proteins.
