Eating this way leads to fewer brain blood clots
Evidence continues to stack up that adding more plant-based foods to your diet is powerfully beneficial when it comes to your health.
In fact, just a small sampling of studies show that a plant-based diet may help to boost your metabolism, lower your blood pressure, cure even “incurable” skin conditions and help you lead a longer, healthier life.
That’s why people across the world are eating less meat and more plants and grabbing all of the benefits their new diet choices have to offer.
And if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, there’s more news in the world of plant-based eating and your health that could have you saying, “Move over meat and bring on the vegetables!”
According to research published in the scientific journal Stroke, a plant-based diet leads to fewer blood clots in the brain.

Refuting previous study findings
That’s important information since a previous study out of the UK had come to the conclusion that vegetarians had a higher risk of brain hemorrhages than those who ate meat.
It was a finding that received a huge amount of attention and gave meat-eaters a reason to feel somewhat vindicated since most news places them on the wrong side of the health equation.
However, a research team from Aarhus University questioned the validity of that finding and decided to look into it.
The team used the massive amount of data collected during a study in the early 90s that followed over 57,000 people, examining the effects of their eating and lifestyle habits on their health. Then the scientists crunched the numbers to determine each person’s risk of developing bleeding or blood clots in the brain based on those habits.
Their results turned those old research findings on their head.
The team concluded, “If adult men or women follow a sustainable (plant-based) diet and the Nordic recommendations for dietary fiber intake, then we see a lower risk of bleeding or blood clots in the brain.”
