I've heard about the benefits of a vegetarian diet. What exactly are they?

A vegetarian diet is one that excludes meat, poultry, and seafood. It's typically high in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Vegetarian diets have been linked to numerous health benefits including lower blood pressure, reduced risk for heart disease, better control of cholesterol levels, and improved digestion.
