                                Research consistently shows well-planned vegetarian diets are associated with lower risks of heart disease and type 2 diabetes compared to meat-inclusive diets. So, is it healthier to be vegetarian or a meat eater for overall wellness and longevity? The answer, while complex, depends more on the quality of the diet than the presence of meat itself.
