At a time when it seems sickness and disease are affecting people all around us, we’re all looking for ways to longer, stronger, and healthier lives. Instinctively, we know that a plant-based diet is better for us, but how and why? 
Here are some results of eating a mainly plant-based, nutrient-dense, fiber-rich diet:
- It lowers high blood pressure or hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.
- It boosts your immune system, making it stronger and more effective against sickness and disease.
- Lower incidents of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
- Lower BMI, body fat.
- Sustainable weight management.
- Reduced obesity inflammatory markers.
- Lowers risk of some cancers (especially colorectal)
- Reversal of Type 2 Diabetes
According to The Beet, the number of Americans eating plant-based diets has exceeded 9.7 million. These people don’t necessarily label themselves as vegans or vegetarians but are committed to plant-based eating one-the-less. One study has revealed that the wave of interest and enthusiasm in the diet began at the Pacific and has worked its way across America from left to right.
