In Summary… The health advantages experienced by the more conforming
Adventists over many years is remarkable.
Vegans and lacto-ovo vegetarians have less obesity, lower blood pressure/high cholesterol, and fewer lifestyle diseases.
The causes are not all understood, but dietary factors are clearly important.
The vegan & vegetarian dietary habit is broadly protective. This is due both to the absence of meat and also the extra fruit, vegetables and nuts.

Focus on adding
more garden foods
or foods from the
produce
department.
1. Use the Plan
of Addition
![Page 38: Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge · Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge The Power of Natural Remedies Workshop May 7, 2018 10:20 –10:50 am Seminary, N150](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040113/5edb9cd1ad6a402d6665ebf8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
2. Eat More Fruits
and Vegetables
Aim for at least 2-3
cups each of both
fruits and
vegetables a day.
(5 servings of
each)
![Page 39: Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge · Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge The Power of Natural Remedies Workshop May 7, 2018 10:20 –10:50 am Seminary, N150](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040113/5edb9cd1ad6a402d6665ebf8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
3. Choose
Whole Grains
Enjoy brown rice,
whole wheat and
multi-grain bread
and pasta, and
whole grain, high
fiber cereals like
steel cut oats.
![Page 40: Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge · Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge The Power of Natural Remedies Workshop May 7, 2018 10:20 –10:50 am Seminary, N150](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040113/5edb9cd1ad6a402d6665ebf8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
4. Increase Beans
and Legumes
Beans are a great
source of protein,
antioxidants, and
fiber. Add to
soups, salads,
and pasta dishes.
![Page 41: Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge · Adventist Health Studies & The Vegetarian Edge The Power of Natural Remedies Workshop May 7, 2018 10:20 –10:50 am Seminary, N150](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040113/5edb9cd1ad6a402d6665ebf8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5. Enjoy Healthy Fats
Enjoy nuts. Just one
handful a day cuts heart
attack
risk. Walnuts are a
great source of
omega 3 fat.

cutting down on
sweets,
processed foods,
soft drinks, fried
food, and
constant eating.
