Most people look at plant-based diet as very restricting and hard to
balance, and therefore believe that getting the nutritional requirements
while being on veg diets is very hard. The reality is actually very
different. People on well-balanced plant-based diets tend to easily get
more than the necessary requirements for nutrients. This fact is widely
backed-up by medical data indicating that vegetarians and vegans tend to
have much lower rates of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer
among other chronic diseases.

Although plant-based diets are becoming more mainstream, there is
still a generalized doubt that they provide everything a human body
needs. However, as Christians, it should help us keep in mind that God's
ideal diet for us is a plant-based diet (book of Genesis) and also the
one that causes the least amount of harm to God's creatures and the
environment. By being good stewards of our bodies we are being good
stewards of God's Creation.
