BBC Correspondent Finds 30-Plant Weekly Diet Easier Than Expected
A BBC health correspondent tested the '30 plants a week' dietary trend and found it surprisingly manageable, ultimately consuming 51 distinct plant items. The trend, rooted in a 2018 study linking plant diversity to gut microbiome health, is achievable through small changes like adding spices and whole grains. Experts note that the target is flexible, with benefits possible at lower counts, and that existing healthy diets often already meet the threshold.
