Reduced Risk of Heart Disease A vegan lifestyle significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of global mortality. Plant-based diets are naturally low in saturated fats and cholesterol, primarily found in animal products, while being rich in fiber, antioxidants, and heart-healthy nutrients. Studies show vegans often have lower blood pressure, reduced LDL cholesterol, and improved arterial function. Diets high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds support healthy blood vessels and circulation. The abundance of potassium and absence of heme iron further protect cardiovascular health. Long-term adherence to a vegan diet is associated with a 25% lower risk of dying from heart disease, making it one of the most effective preventive measures available.
