Supriya Lal, RD, LRD, MPH: Managing Chronic Diseases with Plant-Based Diets | Aging Less #04

Chronic diseases, from heart disease to diabetes, are major global contributors to a shortened lifespan. So, this week on Aging Less: The Longevity Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella gets dietitian Supriya Lal’s expertise on how plant-based diets may offer the nutritional benefits required to prevent and alleviate chronic diseases.

Specializing in helping individuals lead balanced and confident lives, Supriya Lal prioritizes an individualistic approach to each client. Additionally, she encourages cultural competency as much as possible when offering recommendations to clients.

In this episode, Supriya Lal outlines the five main types of plant-based diets, from the vegan diet being the most restrictive, to the whole food plant-based diet comprising a wider variety of foods. She reveals that plant-based diets contain high levels of fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients that contribute to improving heart health, and are generally lower in calories.

Together, Marie and Supriya Lal discuss the usual challenges of adopting a plant-based diet, such as meat being a focal point in several cultures, and how these can be overcome. So, tune in this episode for expert guidance on implementing a plant-based diet!
