We have begun to switch from meat-based to plant-based foods, and as a result “plant-based proteins” are piquing the interest of people everywhere.
Everyone has different reasons for focusing on plant-based proteins.
In general, plant-based diets are usually:
This can help lower blood pressure, bad cholesterol (LDL), reduce the risk of diabetes and help maintain a healthy weight (1).
I'm not saying that you have to completely cut out meat products to achieve these health benefits. I'm also not saying that all plant-based products are “healthy" (take a look at white bread which is plant-based, but also highly processed).
To see if a plant-based diet is right for you, always speak with your healthcare provider.
