High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome (2021)
Journal Article
Menni, C., Louca, P., Berry, S. E., Vijay, A., Astbury, S., Leeming, E. R., …Valdes, A. M. (2021). High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome. BMC Medicine, 19, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-021-01913-w

Background: Chronic inflammation, which can be modulated by diet, is linked to high white blood cell counts and correlates with higher cardiometabolic risk and risk of more severe infections, as in the case of COVID-19. Methods: Here, we assessed th... Read More about High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome.
