  • A new study indicates that eating a higher ratio of plant protein could reduce the risk of heart disease and support good heart health

The article from Plant Based News discusses a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition which suggests that plant-based proteins could support heart health. The research, conducted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, found that diets rich in plant proteins like those from soy, nuts, and legumes are linked to lower levels of cholesterol, blood pressure, and improved cardiovascular health markers. The study highlighted that these benefits might be due to the presence of fiber, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds in plant proteins, which are not typically found in animal proteins. Furthermore, the article notes that while animal proteins are often considered complete, plant proteins can also provide all essential amino acids when consumed in a varied diet. The findings encourage a shift towards plant-based diets for better heart health outcomes.
