Follow @alkalineherbshop According to the 2017 Global Burden of Disease Study published in The Lancet, poor diet is the world’s leading cause of early mortality and is responsible for 1 in 5 deaths. ⠀ The World Health Organization defines poor diet as not eating enough fruits, vegetables, and fiber, and eating too much processed foods, refined sugar, and trans fats. ⠀ One 2014 study from JAMA Internal Medicine found that people who consume 25% or more of their daily calories from refined sugar are twice as likely to die of heart disease than people who consume fewer than 10% of their daily calories from sugar. ⠀ Another 2017 study from the International Journal of Epidemiology found that compared to eating none at all, eating 800 grams (10 servings) of fruits and veggies per day is associated with a 24% reduced risk of heart disease, 33% reduced risk of stroke, and 13% reduced risk of cancer. ⠀ Sources: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(19)30041-8/fulltext https://www.who.int/topics/diet/en/ https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/eating-too-much-added-sugar-increases-the-risk-of-dying-with-heart-disease-201402067021 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1819573 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/02/170223102404.htm https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/46/3/1029/3039477 ⠀ #alkalinediet #alkalinevegannews #plantbased #alkalineherbs https://www.instagram.com/p/CTbit_Fsepc/?utm_medium=tumblr
