Giving up meat for a more plant-based diet can lower heart disease risks, according to a new study.
The question of whether eating meat impacts heart health is not new, but the latest findings may have steak fans reaching for tofu instead. Research analysis published in the European Heart Journal on Thursday has found that vegetarian and vegan diets are linked to lowering cholesterol.
Study authors say results show plant-based diets can play a significant role in reducing blocked arteries, thereby lowering the risk of serious heart diseases like heart attacks and strokes.
