Harvest the
Power of Plants
PILING YOUR PLATE WITH
plant-based foods on a
regular basis can lower your
risk of type 2 diabetes.
Researchers found that
consistency is key: Those
who most adhered to a diet
of predominantly plantbased foods and consumed
little or no animal-based
foods had a 23 percent
lower risk of type 2 diabetes compared with people
who ate plant-based diets
less faithfully, according
to a study in JAMA Internal
Medicine. The benefits of
the diet increase even more
when the plant-based foods

are healthy ones, such as
fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, legumes and nuts,
rather than less healthy
options, such as potatoes,
white flour and sugar.
Healthy plant-based
foods improve conditions
that contribute to type 2
diabetes, including insulin sensitivity, high blood
pressure and inflammation.
One of the most important
protections a plant-based
diet offers against type 2
diabetes is weight control-
it helps with short-term
weight loss and prevents
long-term weight gain.

Eat for Your Seasonal Allergies
Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and pollen is
everywhere, including in your food. "Although most
people don't consider food to be a pollen source, many
fruits and vegetables are considered pollen-interactive
foods," says Rashmi Kulkarni, MD, a primary care
provider with Northside's Covenant Family Medicine.
ACT ON IT

If you have seasonal allergies, Dr. Kulkarni says to be mindful
of pitted fruits, such as apples and peaches; melons; peanuts;
soybeans; and spices such as cumin and dill.
