Description

Sapna Peruvemba and co-authors review diets that serve both heart health and the planet, in a paper from 2025. Most past studies judged a diet on health or on environmental harm alone. That split view hides where the two goals agree and where they clash.

The review covers studies that scored eating patterns on both axes at once. Diets based on plants, low in red meat, added sugar, and salt, carried lower heart risk. Whole-food diets low in animal protein also tended to emit less greenhouse gas and use less land. They could, though, use more water. Plant-based patterns scored best overall on the joint test, but trade-offs appeared between health and some single environmental measures. More joint studies are called for.
