If you’ve been thinking about switching to a more plant-based diet, you’re not alone. More people are choosing natural foods and vegan substitutes, for a variety of reasons ranging from health to finances to the environment and more.

There are many health benefits to a plant-based diet. Here are a few.

4 Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet

1. Lowers Cardiovascular Risk

Diets that are low in animal products and high in healthy whole foods, such as leafy greens and whole grains, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Specifically, recent studies show a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressures after switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet.

2. Helps Manage Type 2 Diabetes

Plant-based diets help to improve blood sugar control and insulin response, and can be a useful tool in managing type 2 diabetes.

3. Supports Gut Health

Fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods naturally contain high amounts of fiber, which feeds gut bacteria and boosts intestinal function.

4. Helps Prevent Diseases Related to Aging

Recent studies indicate that a plant-based diet can help the brain and body through the aging process. Specifically, the antioxidants and nutrients in plants help protect and support the nerve cells and nervous system, which may improve outcomes of people with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
