Vegan diets are also linked to lower blood pressure. There is now an abundant amount of scientific evidence that people who follow a vegan diet tend to have lower blood pressure.

A whole foods plant-based diet is also the number one way to improve your chances of not getting a chronic disease.

The worst options are any foods that increase bad cholesterol like cheese, red meat and processed foods. If you are obese, you can expect dramatic weight loss. Research has shown that the average weight and BMI was lowest among vegans.

Additional health benefits are healthy kidneys, gallbladders and glowing skin. A plant-based diet can drastically improve your energy.
