CNN —Replacing animal-based food such as red and processed meat or eggs with plant-based options such as nuts or legumes may reduce the risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes, a comprehensive review has found. Previous studies have already indicated some health benefits from plant-based diets. Simply switching animal-based products for plant-based products doesn’t automatically result in a healthy diet. “We need to be cautious about words like plant-based, which can be used by food manufacturers,” Mellor said. “Just because the statistics say a swap reduces risk, does it make culinary and cultural sense?

Those who don’t socialize with friends or family may see their risk of dying early increase by 39%. Many previous studies have linked loneliness or social isolation with a higher risk of premature death and other health outcomes. But few, if any, have looked into how these associations depend on the combined impact of different types of social interaction, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal BMC Medicine. Participants’ social isolation was gauged by how often they were visited by friends or family, how often they engaged in weekly group activities, and whether they lived alone. It’s also possible that any of these factors could lead to loneliness or social isolation rather than result from them, according to the study.

Проспективное когортное исследование более 309 тысяч взрослых жителей Великобритании выявило связь между моделями потребления алкоголя и риском неблагоприятных последствий для здоровья, пишет Naked Scienct. Каждый 20-й житель страны страдает от зависимости, а в целом мире от последствий употребления алкоголя умирают 3,3 миллиона человек ежедневно. Однако влияние различных «моделей» потребления алкоголя ранее не становилось предметом исследований — и именно этому посвящена свежая работа ученых из Института здоровья и благополучия при Университете Глазго (Великобритания). «Нашей целью было понять взаимосвязь между различными моделями потребления алкоголя и риском неблагоприятных последствий для здоровья с поправкой на средние объемы потребляемого спиртного среди регулярно пьющих. «Употребление алкоголя без еды оказалось связано с более высоким скорректированным риском смертности (на 10%) по сравнению с потреблением его совместно с пищей.
