{-} It Can Help You Mislay Excess Weight.
An increasing number of people are turning to plant-based diets in the hope of shedding excess weight. This is perhaps for good reason. Many observational studies show that vegans tend to be thinner and have lower body mass indexes (BMIs) than non-vegans.
{-} It Appears to Lower Blood Sugar Levels and Improve Kidney Function
Going vegan may also have benefits for type 2 diabetes and declining kidney function. Indeed, vegans tend to have lower blood sugar levels, higher insulin sensitivity and up to a 50-78% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
{-} It's Linked to a Lower Risk of Heart Disease Eating fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes and fiber is linked to a lower risk of heart disease. All of these are generally eaten in large amounts in well-planned vegan diets. Observational studies comparing vegans to vegetarians and the general population report that vegans may profit from up to a 75% lower risk of developing high blood pressure. Vegans may also have up to a 42% lower risk of dying from heart disease.
{-} A Vegan Diet Can Reduce Pain from Arthritis
A few studies have reported that a vegan diet has positive effects in people with different types of arthritis. One study randomly assigned 40 arthritic participants to either continue eating their omnivorous diet or move to a whole-food, plant-based vegan diet for 6 weeks.
