Eating for Life
Leading health experts agree that going vegetarian is the single-best
thing we can do for ourselves and our families. Healthy vegetarian
diets support a lifetime of good health and provide protection against
numerous diseases, including our countryÂ’s three biggest killers:
heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association
states that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart
disease; Â… lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and
lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon
cancer” and that vegetarians are less likely than meat-eaters to be
obese.1 Well-planned vegetarian diets provide us with all the
nutrients that we need, minus all the saturated fat, cholesterol, and
contaminants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products.
Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to
develop heart disease, and they have 40 percent of the cancer rate of
meat-eaters.3,4 Plus, meat-eaters are nine times more likely to be
obese than vegans are.5
The consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy products has also been
strongly linked to osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and male
impotence. Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger
immune systems than their meat-eating friends; this means that they
are less susceptible to everyday illnesses like the flu.7 Vegetarians
and vegans live, on average, six to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.8
A plant-based diet is the best diet for kids, too: Studies have shown
that vegetarian kids grow taller and have higher IQs than their
classmates, and they are at a reduced risk for heart disease, obesity,
diabetes, and other diseases in the long run.10,11 Studies have shown
that even older people who switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet can
prevent and even reverse many chronic ailments.
