These benefits include:
- A lower risk of cardiovascular disease (potential reduction by 16 per cent).
- A positive impact on blood pressure, weight management, and brain health.
- A lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes
- A plant based style of eating includes more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
