A large amount of research effort goes into assessing the health
benefits of a plant-based diet, resulting from human desire to
consume a more sustainable diet that is less destructive of the
earth's natural resources. In addition, a growing number of people
are choosing the vegan or total vegetarian diet because of the
potential to greatly reduce the risk of chronic diseases and
mortality rates. Although this interest in plant-based eating is
popular, there exist concerns on the safety of some vegetarian
diets, especially a vegan diet. This book describes issues of the
vegetarian diet and outlines ways to prevent nutrient deficiencies.
Vegetarian Nutrition and Wellness focuses on synthesizing research
around vegetarian diets and human health. A major section of the
book deals with how a vegetarian diet protects population groups
from the major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases,
obesity, and various cancers. Based upon ecological and clinical
studies, chapter authors explain the health-promoting properties of
plant-based diets, and compare/contrast health outcomes obtained
from consuming omnivorous diets with a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Fruits and vegetables figure prominently in vegetarian diets and
provide a substantial effect in disease reduction and
health-promoting properties of a plant-based diet. Vegetarian
Nutrition and Wellness is written for the academic community,
registered dietitians, health professionals, and graduate students
in nutrition and public health. Each chapter provides a
comprehensive review of the scientific literature and includes a
concise summary at the beginning of each chapter. The time is ripe
for this book to update the scientific community with a collage of
well-documented topics on vegetarian nutrition.
