"**Why is every Monday this year like January 1? Find out here.** If you&amp;#039;re thinking about cutting back on red meat after last week&amp;#039;s study findings, here&amp;#039;s something else, from the experts at the Healthy Mondays campaign, to think about: Traditional cultures around the world have long known the benefits of a mostly-vegetarian diet. Numerous studies have linked vegetarian eating to lower cholesterol, blood pressure and overall weight, as well as a decreased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers. A healthy vegetarian diet consists of mostly whole, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and beans. So, take a cue from other parts of the world and improve your health this week by sampling some traditional vegetarian dishes! You can easily find recipes for Indian, Mediterranean, Asian, and other meatless cuisine on websites like www.MeatlessMonday.com and, of course, womansday.com.
