This study compares two eating plans: one rich in beans and legumes (called the planetary health diet) and a typical Western diet. It aims to see which diet is better for your heart and metabolism, and you'll follow the plan for a set period while researchers monitor your health.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
This study looks at whether eating more dairy (from cow’s milk) changes markers linked to heart and metabolic risk in adults with higher body weight. It mainly aims to understand how diet affects the body’s metabolism and related risk factors.
This study compares the effects of eating full-fat versus low-fat dairy on heart health markers like cholesterol and blood pressure. Participants eat three servings of dairy daily for two 6-week periods to see which type is better for their heart.
