Scientists have studied the data of people who follow a plant-based diet. As it turned out, regular consumption of vegetable products significantly reduces the level of «bad» cholesterol in the blood and the risk of developing fatal diseases, including cancer.
Nutrition experts insist that for all body systems to function properly, you need to follow the principles of good nutrition. In this case, the body should receive a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
In this case, one of the most useful diets experts call the Scandinavian diet, which implies the presence of vegetables, fruits, cereals and seafood in the diet.
Recently, scientists conducted another study to find out what effect vegan, vegetarian or lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets have on the body.
So, while a vegetarian diet involves giving up meat, the lacto-ovo-vegetarianism principles allow for the consumption of dairy products, eggs, but you can't have meat, fish and poultry.
But each of these diets involves an increased intake of plant foods.
According to the CNN piece, the study found that people who follow one of these diets, exercise and have no bad habits have lower levels of bad cholesterol. The tests also showed that they had low levels of insulin, sugar and LDL in their blood.
This prompted scientists to suggest that following a plant-based diet helps reduce the risks of developing deadly diseases caused by high cholesterol, insulin and obesity.
Meanwhile, scientists had earlier reported that poor diet is one of the factors that trigger cancer. Also doctors pointed out the harm of ketodiet.
