We all know that a plant-based diet is much better for the environment than an animal-based one, but did you know that going vegan could save your life? Research shows that vegans are on average 25 lbs lighter than vegetarians and 40 lbs lighter than non-vegans. Why? Because when you eat a vegan diet, you consume less saturated fat which means less cholesterol circulating in your body, which in turn reduces your risk of heart disease. This can also help with other health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
