Vegetarian recipes are those that don’t include beef, pork, chicken, turkey or seafood, although they may include eggs and dairy. If you follow this type of diet exclusively, it’s referred to as a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. However, many people are interested in eating more healthy vegetarian meals even if they don’t completely exclude meat. That’s because there are many benefits to eating plant-based meals, aside from the fact that vegetarian dishes are often bursting with fresh, interesting flavors. 

No matter why you decide to fill your plate with plant-based foods, a well-planned vegetarian diet can offer a number of health advantages:

• A diet rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables has vitamins that are good for the heart and may help improve blood pressure
• High-fiber, plant-based diets have been shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
• Plant foods tend to be very low in artery-clogging saturated fat
• A plant-based diet, rich in beans and slowly digested grains, may help improve blood sugar control for diabetics

You don't need to become a vegetarian to reap the benefits of a plant-based diet. Even just replacing some of your meals with more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds can provide health benefits and may even help you maintain a healthy weight.
