According to a new study published in the journal Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, a vegan diet improves insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in obese individuals with insulin resistance.
“A vegan diet has benefits on weight reduction and on the parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism”, states the study’s abstract. “This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy of plant-based diets on insulin resistance and blood lipids in patients with obesity.”
For the study, researchers conducted a meta-analysis of various studies related to the topic of insulin resistance. Six studies (seven datasets) were included.
The study is titled Plant-based dietary intake moderates adverse childhood experiences association with early mortality in an older Adventist cohort. The abstract of the study begins by noting that “Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) consistently predict poor mental and physical health as well as early all-cause mortality.” Although “much work examines health harming behaviors that may be used to cope with ACEs associated stress responses and dysregulation”, researchers state that “limited research has been conducted assessing plant-based dietary intake on the ACEs and mortality relationship.”
