Thinking about turning over a new leaf? Or maybe eating one? 

Here are some things you may not know:

Research has shown that you smell better when you don't eat red meat; that a love of veggies contributes to sharp memory and great intelligence; and that Chinese people (eating mostly a vegetarian diet) consume 20 percent more calories than Americans, but Americans are 20 percent fatter. Also, vegetables are sexy! Though the science is not definitive, aphrodisiacs from the vegetable kingdom include chilies, asparagus, celery, fennel, garlic and Andean mustard.

UCLA experts in diverse disciplines are exploring how vegetarianism can boost human health and alleviate a host of environmental challenges, including global warming, deforestation, pollution and overfishing, among others.

Recent headlines on the unhealthy impact of red meat and that President Bill Clinton has gone from omnivore to vegan has a lot of individuals thinking about whether this might be the time to make some serious changes to their diet. 

At UCLA, meanwhile, adopting healthful habits is becoming de rigueur.


We talked to UCLA experts to learn more about the science behind the lifestyle and how choosing a meat-free diet can be a good thing in many ways—for the environment, for animal welfare, for physical health and even for spiritual balance.
