Environmentally sustainable diet linked to health benefits: Study
Dec 12, 2021
New Delhi, Dec 12 (ANI): A recent study from Lund University in Sweden found that more sustainable dietary habits are linked to health benefits, such as a reduced risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. The study was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The EAT-Lancet Commission report describes how the world must transform its food production and consumption if the Earth's already fragile environment and scarce resources are to suffice for 10 billion people in 2050. The report covered six different areas: climate impact, water use, biodiversity, phosphorus and nitrogen use, and acidification. Using theoretical calculations, the report also estimated the diet's benefits for human health and longevity.
