“These institutions further agree that the risk is

In addition, we believe that a healthier diet is one GOURMET VEGAN
Sabra Rebo without highly processed foods laden with fats and
artificial ingredients,” she adds.
Sabra points to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), which says “…
appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan
diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in
the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.”
According to the ADA, vegetarians have “…a lower risk of death from ischemic
heart disease. Vegetarians also appear to have lower low-density lipoprotein 100% GLUTEN-FREE & NON-GMO
cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension and
type 2 diabetes than non-vegetarians. Furthermore, vegetarians tend to have a
lower body mass index and lower overall cancer rates. Features of a vegetarian
diet that may reduce risk of chronic disease include lower intakes of saturated
fat and cholesterol and higher intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts,
soy products, fiber, and phytochemicals.”

As we like to say at Down to Earth,
“Love Life! Eat Healthy. Be Happy!”
