Sustainable Diets May Lead to Fewer Blood Clots in Brain: Study | Health

There should be more vegetables and less meat on the plate in front of us. A study by the Ministry of Public Health showed that a sustainable food not only benefit the climate, but also your health.

The recent study from Aarhus University was published in the ‘Stroke Journal’.

“If adult men or women follow a sustainable diet and the Nordic recommendations for dietary fiber intake, then we see a lower risk of bleeding or blood clots in the brain,” said Christina Dahm, who is at the origin of the study.

This knowledge is important because a previous study from the UK found that vegetarians had a higher risk of brain hemorrhages than those who ate meat. These findings received a lot of publicity.

“A vegetarian diet is very similar to a sustainable diet, and since we need to eat more sustainably in the future, this was a rather worrying result. Our results show that it is safe to eat a sustainable diet,” said said Daniel Ibsen, who also contributed to the study.

The researchers used data from the Danish Population Study on Diet, Cancer and Health. A total of 57,053 adults aged 50 to 64 participated in the study in the early 1990s and answered questions about their eating habits and lifestyle. Over the next several years, the researchers were able to use the Danish registries to identify participants who developed bleeding and blood clots in the brain.

“The food we eat has a crucial influence on our health but also affects our climate and the environment. We need to eat in a more sustainable way, but of course it is important that we also have a healthy diet, ”said Christina Dahm.

According to Christina Dahm, the study should be followed in the context of today’s Danish eating habits, which contained an increased amount of new, sustainable foods such as oat milk and plant-based meat substitutes, as well. as studies examining more specifically how Danes can become better at complying with climate-friendly dietary advice.

Earlier this year, the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration launched climate-friendly dietary recommendations that resemble sustainable diets.

The recommendations will help meet the Danish Climate Act’s goal of reducing Denmark’s greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030, while improving public health.

The seven official climate-friendly food guidelines:

1. Eat rich in plants, varied and not too much.2. Eat more vegetables and fruits 3. Eat less meat – choose legumes and fish. 4. Eat whole grains. 5. Choose low-fat vegetable oils and dairy products. 6. Eat less sweet, salty and fatty. 7. Quench your thirst with water. (ANI)
