Double serving of evidence underscores power of plant-based diet for heart health

The plant-based Portfolio Diet has been making headlines recently, with two new studies showing its effectiveness in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Researchers at Unity Health Toronto and the University of Toronto have found that adopting this diet can significantly improve heart health across diverse populations.

The first study, published in BMC Medicine, analyzed data from nearly 15,000 Americans and found that adherence to the Portfolio Diet was linked to a major reduction in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and all causes. Developed by Professor David Jenkins in 2003, this diet emphasizes the consumption of nuts, plant-based proteins, viscous fiber sources, and foods rich in phytosterols and monounsaturated fatty acids while avoiding saturated fats and cholesterol.

Even moderate adherence to the Portfolio Diet showed notable benefits, including a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk, fewer risk factors for coronary heart disease, and a decrease in all-cause mortality. The study, led by John Sievenpiper, a staff physician and scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital, also highlighted the importance of capturing a more detailed picture of participants’ eating habits to understand the impact of the diet accurately.

In another study published in BMC Public Health, researchers focused on a younger demographic, analyzing data from approximately 1,500 ethnoculturally diverse individuals in their 20s. The results showed that greater adherence to the Portfolio Diet was associated with lower LDL cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors, even in this low-risk group. Starting this diet in young adulthood could delay the rise in cardiovascular disease risk by up to 13 years.

Lead author Victoria Chen emphasized the importance of adopting healthy eating habits early in life, as common life transitions can negatively impact diet quality. By incorporating foods like nuts, fruits, and berries into their lifestyle, young adults can set the stage for better long-term health and reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.

Overall, these studies provide compelling evidence for the power of the plant-based Portfolio Diet in improving heart health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. By making simple changes to their diet, individuals can reap significant health benefits and improve their overall well-being.
