But did you know ALL the incredible benefits of going meatless just one day a week? 🍗🍖
Read on!
🍗1. Meatless Monday can help you live longer
Studies show that eating more plant-based foods and less red meat can increase longevity.
You don’t have to adopt a strict vegetarian diet to reap the benefits of a plant-based diet: cutting back on
meat just one day a week can bring about the health benefits to help you live longer.

🌭2. Meatless Monday sets you up for a successful and healthy week
The beginning of the workweek sets the tone for the rest of your week.
A positive, healthy habit like Meatless Monday sets you on the right track to make better health
decisions throughout the rest of the week, so come Thursday you might reach for a granola bar
instead of a chocolate bar.

🍔3. It is good for your heart
Cutting back on meat decreases your risk of heart disease, can lower cholesterol, and can
decrease blood pressure. Studies have found that vegetarians have a 32% lower risk of dying
from coronary heart disease than omnivores.

🍗4. It decreases your environmental footprint
Switching out meat for plant-based foods means less water and energy is required to produce your
food, and fewer greenhouse gases are expelled during production. It takes a whopping 1,800 gallons of
water to produce one pound of beef compared to just 108 gallons for a pound of corn. Raising livestock is
so resource-intensive because of how much corn, soy, and other feed must be grown to feed the animal.
The resource footprint of a cow or pig includes all of the water, land, and energy required to grow the food
that the animal eats, so it is significantly higher than the resource footprint of plants.

🍔5. It’s easy and delicious
Meatless meals don’t have to be boring or time-intensive. Thanks to the internet thousands of easy,
delicious, and free vegetarian recipes are available at your fingertips to help make your Meatless Monday
meals the most delicious meals of your week. Dishes that do not normally include meat – like enchiladas,
pasta dishes, or soup – are great for starting out. Protein-rich foods like beans, lentils, and tofu can easily

🌭6. It can help you lose weight
Eating more fiber-rich plants lowers your risk of obesity, and meals that don’t feature meat tend to focus
more on vegetables, grains, and fruits. Meatless diets also tend to be lower in fat, particularly saturated fat,
and reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes.

over again until they become boring. Adopting a challenge like Meatless Monday encourages you to
branch out and experiment with new recipes and ingredients, bringing new life to your kitchen.
