The benefits of a plant-based diet include:
- *Better Nutrition*: Plants are healthy, and most of us don't eat the recommended amount of fruits and veggies.
- *A Healthier Heart*: Eating a vegetarian diet may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, and may improve other risk factors for heart disease by lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol, and improving your blood sugar control.
- *Lower Diabetes Risk*: Eating a vegetarian diet can help prevent and treat type 2 diabetes.
- *Decreased Cancer Risk*: Research consistently shows that regularly eating plenty of fruits, veggies, legumes and grains is associated with a lower cancer risk.
- *Reduced Risk of Stroke*: Your risk for stroke increases if you have high blood pressure, are overweight, have diabetes or heart disease, have high cholesterol, or smoke, drink, or use drugs.
- *Brain Health*: The physiological benefits of following a plant-based diet are many, but there are some possible mental ones, too.
Plant-based diets have been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Additionally, plant-based diets tend to be high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and lower in saturated fat and calories, which can help with weight management.
