The Vegetarian (Lacto-Ovo) diet excludes meat, fish, and poultry but allows dairy products and eggs. It is the best approach for people who are trying to eat more plant-based foods, but still deciding whether to give up all animal products.
The Benefits of a Vegetarian (Lacto-Ovo) Diet:
- Boost heart health.
- Lower blood pressure.
- Reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Lower cholesterol.
- Weight control.
- Promote bone health.
- Reduce the risk of cancer disease.
- Prevent Gout disease.
A vegetarian diet may offer these heart-healthy benefits due to foods that are higher in fiber and unsaturated fats. Both of these nutrients help manage the body’s cholesterol. Plus, a vegetarian diet has lower levels of saturated fats, total fats, and cholesterol in the diet compared to meat-based diets.
