Expert Tips

Being a vegetarian can be a very heart-healthy way to eat if you plan carefully, eat a wide variety of foods and get enough calories to meet your energy needs. We know now that plant proteins alone can provide enough of the protein we need daily, as long as the sources of protein are varied.
