#PlanetaryHealthDiet

The recent focus on the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) could redefine dietary habits around the globe, promising not just longevity but also ecological well-being. Developed by the EAT-Lancet Commission, this diet highlights the need for a shift towards plant-based foods, simultaneously promoting human health and environmental sustainability. With its roots in the 2019 report “Food in the Anthropocene,” the PHD encourages a diet abundant in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and plant proteins, while advising reduced consumption of meat and dairy. This development is especially pertinent for Thailand as it aligns with the nation’s increasing interest in sustainable and healthy living.
