Even though these studies refer to plant-based diets there is also a link between vegetarian diets and increased health benefits. The conclusion of the study states \"Both British and California data are also fairly consistent in showing a reduction in total cancer incidence among vegetarians.\" Again we see how a diet eliminating meat products helps reduce the incidence of one of the leading causes of death in the US. The same study concludes \"it seems clear that vegetarians experience less CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) than do others ... the evidence that risk of diabetes is less in vegetarians is highly suggestive ... body weight is lower in vegetarians ... LDL cholesterol is lower in vegetarians, and this is probably true for blood pressure and risk of treated hypertension.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
So even if you are not ready to let go of eggs, dairy, cheese or fish and go completely vegan or plant-based you can still enjoy a healthy and balanced lacto-ovo or pesco-vege diet and feel good knowing that you are helping your body to reduce your risk of chronic diseases that are often common from a standard western diet. More on this is another blog post. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
