The best diets have this in common 01:21Sticking to an overall plant-based diet or a diet that includes more plant foods than animal foods could be associated with a 16% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and up to 25% lower risk of early death, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association this week.
Plant-based diet and heart health 00:59The adults, who were followed up from 1987 through 2016, did not have cardiovascular disease at the start of the study. The researchers took a close look at each adult's usual diet and their heart health later in life, including whether they were diagnosed with stroke, heart failure or other events related to cardiovascular disease.
"They strongly suggest that in a general US population who don't necessarily identify as vegetarian, the higher the proportion of plant foods in the diet, the lower the risk of cardiovascular events and death from any cause," McMacken said, adding that plant-based diets can promote heart health by multiple mechanisms.
