Plant-Based Diets Reduce Risk of Obesity for Those Genetically Predisposed

Plant-based diets reduce the risk of obesity among adults who are genetically predisposed to the disease, according to research published in Nutrients. Plant-based diets were associated with the lowest body fat and the least propensity to develop obesity when compared to high-protein or low-energy intake diets. High-fiber, plant-based diets lower inflammation, help you feel full faster, and offer phytochemicals and other nutrients linked to less body fat.
