Plant-based diets are increasingly recognized for their substantial health and environmental benefits. These diets confer advantages for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers. Plant-based diets also support environmental sustainability through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and more efficient resource utilization compared to meat-centered diets. Despite these benefits, challenges such as cultural acceptance, food neophobia, accessibility issues, and nutritional misconceptions hinder widespread adoption. Addressing these barriers through targeted public health strategies and policy interventions can foster healthier lifestyles and encourage a shift toward dietary practices that support both human well-being and environmental resilience on a global scale.

摘要

Plant-based diets are increasingly recognized for their substantial health and environmental benefits. These diets confer advantages for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers. Plant-based diets also support environmental sustainability through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and more efficient resource utilization compared to meat-centered diets. Despite these benefits, challenges such as cultural acceptance, food neophobia, accessibility issues, and nutritional misconceptions hinder widespread adoption. Addressing these barriers through targeted public health strategies and policy interventions can foster healthier lifestyles and encourage a shift toward dietary practices that support both human well-being and environmental resilience on a global scale.
