iHealth News: Plant-based Diets May Help Reduce Asthma Symptom

Plant-based Diets May Help Reduce Asthma Symptom


Researchers looked at 5,700 elderly women and found that adherence to plant-based diets helped reduce asthma symptoms over time. This effect was mediated by a related reduction in body mass index (BMI). Preventing obesity and eating healthful plant-based diets can be encouraged as a form of primary prevention for asthma. 

研究人员观察了5,700名年长女性并发现,坚持以植物性食物为主的饮食,随着时间的推移,有助于减轻哮喘的症状。这种影响是因身体质量指数(BMI)相关的数值降低所间接导致。应提倡将避免肥胖以及食用健康的植物性饮食,作为预防哮喘的主要方法。

High-fiber, Plant-based Diet Leads to Crohn’s Disease Remission
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract. There is no cure. With the typical treatment regime, only 10% of Crohn’s disease patients achieve long-term remission. In a case study, a Crohn’s disease patient achieved healing of the gut lining with no more symptoms after switching to a plant-based diet. A diet rich in plant proteins and whole foods may benefit Crohn’s disease patients. Fiber promotes overall gut health. As one researcher notes, “this case study supports the idea that food really is medicine.”

高纤维、植物性的饮食可缓解克罗恩病病情
克罗恩病(又名克隆氏病)是一种消化道的炎症性疾病,目前没有药物可以治愈。在惯用的治疗方案中,只有10%的克罗恩病患者得到了长期的缓解。在一项研究中,克罗恩病患者将饮食改变为植物性食物后,肠道内膜得到了愈合,不再有其他症状。富含植物蛋白和完整性食物的饮食,对克罗恩病患者有助益。纤维能够促进肠道整体的健康。此项研究的一位研究人员指出:「这项研究支持了『食物是药物』这一观点。」

Note:
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a form of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The etiology of CD is thought to be multi-factorial; genetic factors, dietary and environmental exposures, immune events, and dysfunction of the gut microbiome are all though to play a role.
