Plant based diets support health in several ways, including benefits for the gut, immune system, metabolism, and cardiovascular system.

Plants also contain colorful “phytochemicals” that help protect them from environmental threats and may influence human health. Even so, researchers are still working to understand exactly how gut bacteria process the many components of plant foods and how those interactions produce beneficial effects. Two studies led by Ludwig…
