Plant-Based Foods Are Good For Your Heart!
Did you know that plant-based foods help prevent heart disease? According to a study conducted by researchers at St. Michael’s Hospital in Canada, those who eat more whole grains than meats have less risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery stenosis or unstable angina pectoris. The American College Of Cardiology backs this research up, citing that “vegetarian diets are associated with lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and prostate and colon cancer”.
It Has The Potential To Solve World Hunger
If all the farms used to produce meat were converted into farms with plant-based food, it would be possible to feed the entire world. According to research, 9 million people could be fed on the grain and soybeans alone if they weren’t being raised for animal consumption! Also, livestock production is “responsible for 80 percent of all deforestation worldwide,” which negatively impacts flora, fauna, and carbon dioxide levels.
Conclusion
Veganism is a great way to promote animal rights, have a healthy diet, and even lose weight. By living this lifestyle, you’re sparing an average of 30 animals per year from the cruelty that comes along with factory farming. You can also increase your metabolism by going vegan because plants take less processing before being used as energy in the body. Vegans are also likely to have higher success rates when losing weight due to plant-based foods being lower in calories than their meat counterparts.
