NTR100 Nutrition Project Individual Report Student Name Institution Name Course Name Professor Name Due Date NTR100 Nutrition Project Individual Report Portfolio Diet A portfolio diet effectively minimizes cholesterol levels because it focuses on plant-based foods. Jenkins et al. (2019) from the University of Toronto developed the diet using evidence-based methods, affirming its effectiveness in lowering cholesterol levels. It is a crucial diet approach that helps manage and reduce the risk of chronic conditions. The food recommended for this diet is designed to reduce cholesterol levels and ensure that individuals attain holistic body health. Advantages * The portfolio diet helps reduce cholesterol levels because it combines plant sterols, nuts, soy protein, and soluble fiber that have proven properties to reduce LDL cholesterol ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"London Health Science Centre","given":"","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]},"publisher":"London Health Science Centre","title":"In Depth: The Portfolio Diet","type":"book"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=9a55395c-19c9-40d8-b0d9-9846ab432cb1"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(London Health Science Centre, 2015)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(London Health Science Centre, 2015)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(London Health Science Centre, 2015)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(London Health Science Centre, 2015). * Because of its ability to lower cholesterol levels, this diet assists in promoting heart health and minimizes risks of cardiovascular diseases ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"URL":"https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-the-portfolio-diet","author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Ajmera","given":"Racheal","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"container-title":"Healthline","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2021"]]},"title":"What Is the Portfolio Diet, and Does It Lower Cholesterol?","type":"webpage"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=21e8e5e2-493f-4777-b57b-610e5bc9b144"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(Ajmera, 2021)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(Ajmera, 2021)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(Ajmera, 2021)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(Ajmera, 2021).
