Vegetarian and plant-based diets are associated with a diminished risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers as well as increased longevity. Vegetarian diets have lower fat content, especially saturated fat, and are rich in dietary fiber. They also include more whole grains, legumes, nuts, soy protein, and are devoid of red meat. Such a diet plan may assist with the prevention and treatment of obesity and chronic health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
