Processed foods in the context of a vegan diet, and changes in body weight and severe hot flashes in postmenopausal women: a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between processed food consumption, body weight, and severe hot flashes in postmenopausal women following a low-fat vegan diet. The results indicated that reducing both unprocessed and ultra-processed animal foods while adopting a plant-based diet was linked to significant weight loss and a decrease in the frequency of severe hot flashes. The findings suggest that dietary shifts towards plant foods, regardless of processing level, can positively impact weight and menopausal symptoms.
