"Plant-Based Protein: Key to Healthy Aging for Women"

A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming more plant protein is linked to a 46% lower likelihood of developing eleven chronic illnesses as individuals age, as well as better cognitive function later in life. Sources of plant protein include beans, lentils, nuts, nut butters, whole grains, and vegetables, and incorporating more plant-based foods into one's diet can have a significant impact on long-term health. Additionally, staying active is emphasized, especially for those with high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or at higher risk of developing diabetes.
