New Study: Following the Planetary Health Diet Linked to Lower Risk of Death and Environmental Sustainability

Broke On: Monday, 10 June 2024 A new study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition links the Planetary Health Diet, which emphasizes plant-based protein and reduces animal-based sources and added sugars, to a lower risk of dying from various diseases. Following this diet also has environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and land use. The diet suggests half your plate be fruits and vegetables, with the other half whole grains or plant protein. Transitioning to this diet could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 49% and cropland use by 51%. Eating a planet-friendly diet rich in whole plant foods reduces risk of premature death while contributing to a sustainable food system.
