Does a vegetarian diet always help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure?


References to scientific studies would be helpful.

Sorry but I'll let you all work it out in Voting.

Plant foods don't contain cholesterol, so becoming vegan eliminates any intake of cholesterol to you body. If you are a vegetarian, it just depends on how much dairy and eggs you consume. Unless you eat a lot, though, being a vegetarian helps.

You body does make some of it's own cholesterol, but the relationship between cholesterol intake and cholesterol levels is pretty undisputed.

I've also read that a vegetarian diet promotes lower blood pressure, though the link between the two is less obvious. Check out the American Heart Association's link

No.

I can only speak for my own personal results, but yes my bad cholesterol went down significantly in a year after I stopped eating meat.

If done right YES...

NO

If you want to lower your cholesterol and/or blood pressure just lower your grain intake, eliminate sugar, exercise and eliminate stress.

dont know about that but im sure it will help ya poop

No, not always! You have to cut out or at least down on your consumption of animals fats, like the fat found in dairy that some vegetarians eat. You have to also stop eating junk and some vegetarians do eat junk.

Not always... that assumption would be false. If you pay attention to your diet then, yes... it can help both. If you don't pay attention to your diet... then I can go as far as to say... It may... depending on what you eat.

No.
