    Vegans consume no animal fat or cholesterol9, thus there are less chances of them developing cardiovascular diseases (which kill over five million people annually). You can even reverse some of the harm done to your heart besides boosting by going vegan.

    Vegetarian10 and vegan diets are considered to be cancer protective. In particular, a vegan diet prevents certain types of cancer including colon11, breast, prostate, stomach, lung and esophageal cancer.

    如果你的目标是回到理想身材,那吃素食就可以减肥,而且不用计算卡路里或碳水化合物含量、也不用计算份额、更不会感到饥饿。

    Increased life span

    寿命延长

    According to a 30-year study of more than 600 Japanese centenarians, the secret to their longevity13 was a low-calorie diet of unrefined complex carbohydrates, fiber14-rich fruits, vegetables, and soy.

    根据日本一项对600多名百岁老人进行的为期30年的研究,他们长寿的秘诀就是摄入非精制复合碳水化合物低卡饮食、纤维丰富的水果、蔬菜和大豆。

    A vegan diet is full of foods that boost immunity, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, and soy products.

    Natural anti-carcinogens

    天然抗致癌物质

    Fruits and vegetables are laced with phytochemicals - anthocyanins and carotenoids, which have anti-cancer effects in general.

    水果和蔬菜含有植物化学成分--花青素和类胡萝卜素,一般具有抗癌作用。

    Prevent neuro diseases

    Berries, herbs and spices, and green vegetables are rich sources of anti-oxidants. Consumption of these products in apt amounts decreases the onset19 of cerebral20 diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

    Compared to vegetarian diets, vegan diets tend to contain less saturated fat and more dietary fiber, which helps detoxify the body naturally.
