Did you know that a diet consisting of whole, plant-based foods is the only one that’s ever been shown to reverse heart disease? And that eating meat can decrease your life expectancy? Researchers studied former vegetarians to determine how eating and/or avoiding certain foods affected their cardiovascular health. They found that, among lapsed vegetarians who started eating meat, the odds of developing heart disease increased by 146 percent. They also experienced a 152 percent increase in stroke risk and a 231 percent increase in odds for weight gain. Transitioning from vegetarianism to meat-eating over the course of 12 years was associated with a decrease in life expectancy of 3.6 years. Is it any wonder so many men are switching to a plant-based diet to improve their health?
