Study Finds One-Month, Plant-Based Nutrition Program Improves Health
PROVIDENCE – A one-month plant-based nutrition program can lead to major improvements in metabolic and cardiovascular health, according to a new study.
The study, published Nov. 1 in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, was conducted through the Jumpstart Your Health! Program led by Providence-based Plant Docs.
Plant Docs physicians guided participants through a transition of eating whole food, plant-based meals. After 30-days some participants reported lower cholesterol levels, blood pressure and less inflammation.
“This study validates what we’ve observed anecdotally in our Jumpstarts for years—that a commitment to a whole-food, plant-based eating can yield measurable health improvements, and it’s easier to do than people think.” said Dr. Sandra Musial, founder of Plant Docs
