"Plant-Based Diet Reduces Diabetes and Heart Disease Risk, Improves Organ Function"

A new study published in the journal Diabetes & Metabolism suggests that healthful plant-based diets can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 24% over 12 years, while also improving kidney and liver function. Another study found that consuming just two servings of red meat per week could increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As a result, many people, particularly younger individuals, are reducing their meat consumption, with movements like the Reducetarian Movement advocating for the positive effects of cutting down on meat. Additionally, plant-based diets not only benefit personal health but also have a positive impact on the environment, as meat and dairy farming is a significant source of pollution.
