Benefits of a Vegan Diet
5. Lower Cancer Risk
Science has shown that about a third of cancers are linked to diet and other poor lifestyle choices. This means that by making smarter food decisions, people can significantly reduce their risk of being afflicted by these health problems. The nutrient-rich nature of vegan diets offers better nourishment for the body and cell protection.
It also helps to better regulate hormones whose behavior has been linked to conditions like breast cancer. The way many non-vegan foods are commonly prepared also has some impact. Charring from grills and deep frying of meats has been shown to increase the risk of some cancers.
