How Can Vegetarians Eat Healthily?

More and more people are adopting a vegetarian diet for religious, environmental, or health reasons. In the U.S., approximately 6% of the population identifies as vegetarian. Research has shown that a well-planned vegetarian diet may offer health benefits, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. However, being vegetarian does not automatically mean eating healthily. Without proper food choices and balanced nutrition, a vegetarian diet may lead to nutrient deficiencies or other health risks.  

If you are a vegetarian and are concerned about getting enough nutrients, join our Ask a Dietitian webinar! Our dietitian will provide expert guidance on how to maintain a balanced and nutritious vegetarian diet to support your overall health. Bring your questions!
