Health benefits of a plant based diet

“Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” -Albert Einstein

Vegan diets can be healthy for anyone of any age, including children, pregnant and

lactating women, and the elderly.

A plant-based vegan diet can reduce the risk of mortality from conditions such as:

Type 2 diabetes
Cardiovascular disease
Ischemic heart disease
Hypertension
Stroke
Obesity
Some cancers including prostate and colon cancer

Vegan diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. They are also

particularly effective at lowering blood sugar levels and may help prevent further

medical issues from developing.

Certain aspects of the vegan diet may offer protection against prostate, breast, and colon cancers and may benefit heart health by significantly reducing the risk factors that contribute to heart disease.
