CLEANER ARTERIES WITH PLANT PROTEIN
Studies have shown that you can
build muscle on a plant-based diet, but
research in the Journal of the American
Heart Association shows that it could
help lower “bad” cholesterol, which
clogs arteries and ramps up your risk
of a heart attack, a stroke, or arterial
disease. Researchers investigated
people who ate mostly plant proteins
for at least three weeks and found that
plant eaters reduced three of their main
cholesterol markers by close to 5%.

FIBER HOUSE RULES
Fiber may be a
cornerstone of eating
right and staying healthy,
according to two new
studies published
in the journal Cell Host
& Microbe. In both
investigations,
researchers gave mice
diets with hardly any
fiber and studied what
happened in the rodents’
guts, tracking changes in
weight and blood sugar.
Mice that ate little fiber
eventually gained
weight, suffered from
high blood sugar, and
developed insulin
resistance. The colon
became more porous,
allowing a flourishing
bad bacteria population
to create inflammation.
