A Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet May Improve Metabolic Health More Than the DASH Diet
A new study found that a whole food, plant-based diet improves several indicators of metabolic health for people with type 2 diabetes. Participants in the study alternated between following the DASH diet and a whole food, plant-based diet for one week at a time. Both diets improved insulin requirements, insulin resistance, cholesterol, and inflammation, but the plant-based diet caused greater improvements.
