I've heard that a vegan diet is good for me. What are the health benefits?

A vegan diet is generally considered to be beneficial for overall health as it typically includes more whole foods, fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains than an omnivorous diet. Additionally, plant-based diets tend to have lower levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, research has shown that a vegan diet may also help protect against certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
