www.AbbysHealthFood.com - Issue 41 | Page 19 Vegetarian diets are o en associated with health advantages including lower blood cholesterol levels, lower risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure levels and lower risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes, according to ADA's posi on. "Vegetarians tend to have a lower body mass index and lower overall cancer rates. Vegetarian diets tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol and have higher levels of dietary fiber, magnesium and potassium, vitamins C and E, folate, carotenoids, flavonoids and other phytochemicals. These nutri onal differences may explain some of the health advantages of those following a varied, balanced vegetarian diet." The posi on paper draws on results from ADA's evidence analysis process and informa on from the ADA Evidence Analysis Library to show vegetarian diets can be nutri onally adequate in pregnancy and result in posi ve maternal and infant health outcomes. Addi onally, an evidence-based review showed a vegetarian diet is associated with a lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease. A sec on in ADA's paper on vegetarian diets and cancer has been significantly expanded to provide details on cancer-protec ve factors in vegetarian diets. An expanded sec on on osteoporosis includes roles of fruits, vegetables, soy products, protein, calcium, vitamins D and K and potassium in bone health. "Registered die ans can provide informa on about key nutrients, modify vegetarian diets to meet the needs of those with dietary restric ons due to disease or allergies and supply guidelines to meet needs of clients in different areas of the life cycle," the authors said. Your body has a very important system that you've probably never heard of called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). It's a complex network that influences key functions from stress response and mood to cellular energy and sleep, and so much more. Supporting your ECS with specific nutrients - like the phytocannabinoids found at the highest levels in FR's full-spectrum hemp oil - is the key to unlocking its power and achieving a level of optimal wellness.
