The benefits of plant-based diets include improved heart health, lower cholesterol levels, reduced risk of diabetes, increased longevity, and reduced risk of certain types of cancers. Additionally, plant-based diets are generally rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them nutritionally sound and beneficial.
