Eating “green” is better and healthier. It is healthier to people, animals and the environment. Having a plant based diet is associated with greater longevity, less chronic diseases and less environment damage. Vegetarians enjoy lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, less obesity, less heart disease, less hypertension and less impact of some types of cancer than those whose diet includes meat. Superfoods such as oilseeds (nuts), olive oil, grapes and grape juice, pomegranates, legumes (specially soy), figs, barley, flaxseed and oat are a must in a healthy diet, along with lots of water. Although good health habits do not guarantee a long life, they do increase the likelihood of having a longer and better life.
