Are Plant-Based Burgers Healthier?

burgers, nutrition, plant-based, plant-based food Healthy Living, Nutrition

Due in part to the pandemic, sales of plant-based foods have soared recently. One survey reported 77 percent of U.S. shoppers bought at least one type of plant-based food in the last six months. Of those, 30 percent said this was a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some respondents said they wanted to make a conscious effort to eat healthier to improve their immune systems. Others said it was because they had more time at home to experiment with new food choices.

Our primary care doctors at MD 2.0 in Jupiter certainly applaud this trend. At the same time, we noticed one of the main drivers of plant-based food sales is the meatless burger. You can now find it on grocery store shelves and many restaurants.

So are plant-based burgers healthier than their meat-based inspiration? The answer seems to be, not necessarily.

Healthy Living, Nutrition

Study after study has shown that the best way to stay healthy is to eat a plant-based diet. That doesn’t necessarily mean strictly vegetarian. Consider a meal plan focused on natural foods, especially plants, and minimal meat, processed foods, and dairy products.

One fruit that our concierge primary care doctors would like to suggest you incorporate into your diet is the avocado. (And yes it is technically a fruit, even though people often think of it as a vegetable.) That’s because there’s a wealth of health-giving nutrients packed into one avocado. From heart health to improved digestion to better eyesight, avocados have long had a reputation as a powerhouse superfood.

If you love your morning cup of java, our concierge primary care doctors at MD 2.0 in Jupiter want to encourage you to drink up. That’s because recent research has linked benefits of regular coffee consumption to a decreased risk of diabetes, heart disease, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and liver cancer.

And there’s more good news from a new study by the American Heart Association (AHA). It found that drinking one or more cups of plain, caffeinated coffee a day was associated with a long-term reduced risk of heart failure.

So our primary care concierge doctors at MD 2.0 in Jupiter want to bring you up to date on all the latest research to help you decide for yourself if eggs are good or bad for your health.

Disease, Healthy Living, Nutrition

Our primary care concierge doctors in Jupiter have told you many times about the dangers inflammation poses to your health. Often, the best way to reverse these dangers is by participating in an anti-inflammatory diet.

Inflammation is necessary to keeping the body healthy. But when your body is repeatedly assaulted by various harmful stimuli such as pathogens, injuries, or poor lifestyle habits, the inflammation never ends and can eventually cause long-term damage.

Tea Leads to Good Overall Health

To our concierge family practice doctors in Jupiter, Florida, tea is the second-best beverage you can drink for good health. It comes as a close second, of course, to drinking water.

The practice of brewing leaves appears to go back at least 5,000 years, but its actual origins are hazy. The most persistent legend concerns a Chinese emperor who drank a bowl of hot water that was boiled for sanitary purposes. He was in his garden when a few leaves fell into his bowl, surprising him with the resulting pleasant flavor.

But a great deal of recent research has found there’s far more to be found in a cup of tea than a soothing drink.
