Many people choose to follow
vegetarian diets. There can be many health advantages in doing so. For instance, vegetarian
diets tend to be low in saturated fats and rich in natural antioxidants and
other anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, which can have a wide range of benefits
throughout the body.
According
to recent research published in The
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who regularly consume nuts and legumes
may reduce their risk of heart disease.
It was found that subjects who regularly
consumed nuts were 24% less likely to suffer a fatal heart attack and
22% less likely to suffer a nonfatal heart attack compared with subjects who
did not regularly consume nuts. Regular nut consumers also had a 13% reduced
risk of diabetes compared to non-regular consumers. However, there was no significant correlation observed between nut
consumption and stroke risk.
