These days, though Im an omnivore, I cook a lot of meatless meals. Like you, I find that Im not hungry for meat every night, and less meat means more room for wholesome grains and veggies. Ive also learned about the rising rates of heart disease, diabetes, and concern about lactose intolerance among adults and childrenso my understanding of the benefits of a vegan diet has clicked into place.

Study after study has shown that a diet rich in whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit results in numerous health benefits:
It reduces the risk of heart disease and can have a positive effect on those who already have heart disease. Saturated fat and cholesterol are two dietary culprits that raise the risk for heart disease. Both are derived almost exclusively from animal products. It reduces the risk of some cancers. Thats one reason the American Cancer Society recommends eating five or more servings of vegetables and fruits each day. This is easier than you might think: One serving equals 1 cup leafy vegetables or cup fruit or one medium piece of fruit.
