Australia study links gender-specific vegetable intake to metabolic health
A study from Edith Cowan University in Australia suggests that the health benefits of certain vegetables may vary by gender. Researchers analyzed data from 638 young adults, aged approximately 22, as part of the long-term Raine Study.
The findings indicate that men who consumed an additional 75 grams of beans, lentils, or peas daily had a 72 percent lower statistical chance of experiencing combined risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and excess abdominal fat.
In contrast, women saw an 85 percent reduction in these same risk factors when consuming the same amount of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower. Researchers hypothesize that men and women may process certain plant compounds differently.
