Foods

More people are going vegan than ever before. Even just a few years ago, you probably didn't know many people who ate a strictly plant-based diet, but there's a chance you know someone in your life now who is vegan, and you've perhaps even eaten a vegan dish with them at some point. The first time I went vegan was in 2011, back when it was extremely difficult to find a decent meal at a restaurant that was free of animal products. I've experienced a lot of benefits from a plant-based diet, some of them expected and others pretty surprising. 

One of the first questions people ask me when they hear I'm vegan is why I choose to eat this way. They wonder what kind of changes will happen in the body when you switch over to a plant-based diet. Here are the main benefits of going vegan. 

Better Heart Health

The more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains you eat, the stronger your heart gets. Some studies have shown that vegans are much less likely to contract heart disease in their lifetime, and their overall cardiovascular health is better. That's because the absence of animal products equals lower blood pressure, less cholesterol in the body, and less strain on the heart in general.
