Your Heart and Diet: A Heart-Healthy Way to Eat
Experts have long known that animal products like beef, lamb, pork and veal have a disproportionately negative impact on the environment. Raising animals requires more water and land and generates more greenhouse gases than growing protein-rich plants does. “This is a win-win for individuals and our environment,” Dr. Lichtenstein said. However, she cautioned, if a plant-based diet is overloaded with refined carbohydrates and sugars, it will raise the risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. And she discouraged relying on popular plant-based meat alternatives that are ultra-processed and often high in sodium, unhealthy fats and calories, and that “may

Village Agricultural Cooperative helps provide healthy food for southeastern Minnesota immigrant communities
But in Rochester there’s the Village Agricultural Cooperative, which creates opportunities for area communities to grow culturally relevant foods. Most of the growers for the Village Cooperative live in housing where they cannot grow food, or they wish to grow food to sell in local markets but can’t find farmland access. Kim Sin, founder and president of the Village Agricultural Cooperative, realized around 2018 while working with elderly members of the Cambodian community in Rochester, that many of them weren’t eating healthy. The produce they were accustomed to in Cambodia was too expensive to buy in Minnesota, said Sin, especially

We examined longitudinal associations between features of the local food environment and healthy diet, and whether associations were modified by race/ethnicity.

Diet quality was assessed using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index at Exam 1 (2000-2002) and Exam

You are what you eat: Healthy diet tops drugs when it comes to anti-aging benefits
SYDNEY, Australia — Good nutrition may be the best anti-aging drug you can find, a new study reveals. Researchers at the University of Sydney say when comparing the benefits of drugs which promote healthy aging and good metabolic health, their study finds nothing beats eating a healthy diet.
