About This Episode

WHICH DIET IS HEALTHIEST?

Poor diet is one of the leading causes of disease and death. But which diet is healthiest? 

In episode 128 we will look at the evidence and the confusion.

But eating a healthy diet can help you live longer and reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and dementia. Of course. A poor diet also contributes to obesity, which increases the risk of all of these.  And decisions about diet are complicated. Some people’s taste buds are just programmed to crave sugar and fat, and other people love fruits and vegetables. And, you know, emotions play a big role as well as mental health in general. On top of that, we have cultural norms or religious guidelines and those heavily influenced diet choices sometimes in a good way. 

In this episode we examine the Mediterranean diet, DASH, MIND, Carnivore, Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian and Intermittent Fasting
