People living with hepatitis are usually encouraged to give special consideration to their diet, as <a href=\"https:\/\/hepsa.catalyst-koha.com.au\/cgi-bin\/koha\/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2763&amp;query_desc=kw%2Cwrdl%3A%20healthy%20diet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">healthy eating can help<\/a> avoid some of the issues associated with a fatty or damaged liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant- or fungus-based meat alternatives can fulfil all the dietary and nutritional requirements provided by meat, as well as replicating the taste and ability to be cooked in the same ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study led by researchers from the University of Granada and carried out in collaboration with the University of Castilla-La Mancha and the Francisco de Vitoria University has shown that replacing meat consumption with plant-based alternatives that simulate meat products would reduce total cholesterol by 6 per cent reduce low-density lipoproteins (often known as &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol) by 12 per cent, and even body weight by 1 per cent in the short term (1 to 8 weeks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S000291652401428X?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published <\/a>in <em>The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition<\/em>, analysed eight previous investigations, including data from seven randomised clinical trials that evaluated different interventions based on replacing meat consumption with plant-based alternatives, formulated using proteins extracted from fungi, vegetables and\/or legumes. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis that sought to determine the effectiveness of replacing meat with commonly available plant-based alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

explored their effects, reaffirm the probable benefits to people\u2019s health of replacing meat consumption with these plant-based alternatives, especially since these alternatives successfully simulate meat in organoleptic characteristics (texture, aroma, flavour) and in nutritional composition, meaning they are a great alternative for anyone wanting to move to a more vegetable-based diet without giving up the experience of eating meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As researcher Fern\u00e1ndez Rodr\u00edguez explained, \u201cThis study shows that replacing meat with plant-based alternatives has a positive effect on some cardiometabolic parameters such as LDL cholesterol\u2014even in short periods of a week!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is also important to emphasize that these effects could be greater in people with higher cholesterol levels or a poorer cardiometabolic health profile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7e5e48a181&quot;}\"
