Researchers analyzed 7764 participants for a link between coronary heart disease (CHD), diet and genetics. They found that ideal adherence to a healthy plant-based diet was associated with a 20% lower CHD risk among those at low genetic risk and a 44% lower CHD risk among those at high genetic risk.
Plant-based diets and supplements can dramatically reduce the severity of COVID-19. A study of 3,470 elderly COVID patients showed the participants in the nonplant-based diet group were twice as likely to have experienced moderate disease and 2.4 times more likely to have experienced severe disease.
