In the United States, cardiovascular disease and cancer stand out as the primary causes of mortality. Recent findings from a PLOS One umbrella review underscore the remarkable benefits of vegan and vegetarian diets in bolstering cardiovascular health. These dietary choices actively reduce total and LDL cholesterol, facilitate weight management, and enhance blood sugar regulation, ultimately diminishing the risks associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. Furthermore, plant-based diets have demonstrated their efficacy in reversing established heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, fruits and vegetables emerge as potent allies in the fight against cancer, being rich sources of cancer-fighting nutrients. Their vibrant colors signify abundant nutrients, which play a crucial role in lowering cancer risk. Furthermore, incorporating these foods into one’s diet aids in achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight, thereby reducing the risk of various cancers such as colon, esophagus, and kidney cancers.
