plant-based diet and chronic diseases
A plant-based diet refers to a dietary pattern primarily consisting of foods derived from plants such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, with minimal or no consumption of animal products. Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions that persist over an extended period, including conditions like heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and obesity. The relationship between a plant-based diet and chronic diseases entails examining the impact of consuming predominantly plant-based foods on the development and management of these conditions.
