Study shows: Those who eat their vegetables this way lose weight

New research has found that a plant-based diet can help with weight loss, prevent heart disease, and improve overall long-term health.

Medical researcher Yani Xu and his team discovered that eating raw vegetables plays a big role in these results. Researchers analyzed the eating habits of 2,223 people aged 18 to 82.

The results showed that those who ate a plant-based diet had a lower risk of obesity. “A plant-based diet is a viable option for people who want to control their body weight and improve the quality of their diet to prevent and treat metabolic diseases,” explained medical researcher Yani Xu.

A plant-based diet has also been found to contribute to a healthier heart, brain, gut and cholesterol levels while reducing the risk of serious illness. Mendelian randomization found that eating more raw vegetables was more likely to contribute to weight loss than genetic factors.

Taking raw plant-based foods too far can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Experts recommend gradually introducing more vegetables into your diet to avoid complications.
