• Pulses would provide their protein needs. This would decrease their red meat intake which would decrease their fat intake / animal fats / unhealthy.
• Fewer animal proteins would mean their saturated fat decreases. Less saturated fat implies that their cholesterol intake is also reduced and the trans fats which otherwise increase the risk of another heart attack / raise blood cholesterol levels.
• Plant foods contain no cholesterol.
  This helps to meet the requirement and not to exceed the 300 mg of cholesterol intake per day.
• Their source of plant fats increases which is the healthier fats This means their mono-unsaturated fats increase e.g. avocado, nuts and seeds.

• They could still enjoy fish in limited amounts which has mainly unsaturated fat
• Fish has omega-3 fatty acids that protect the heart and blood vessels
• Pulses are high in fibre. They would increase their fibre intake as pulses are high in soluble fibre. Soluble fibres have a cholesterol lowering effect
• Pulses have starch which would assist feeling full/satiety value
• A predominantly plant-based diet would also help to increase their fruit and vegetable intake. (meets the minimum five servings per day An increase in fruit and vegetables would also increase the minerals, vitamins and antioxidants Fruit and vegetables also add fibre to the diet
• Pulses are rich in iron, potassium and folate which have a protective role to play

NOTE: Do NOT mark facts twice, for example with fibre. They cannot give the word fibre twice unless it is attached to the point of fruit and vegetable. It provides fibre and then also pulses provide fibre. The same with fats. Plant oils increase would be the same fact as healthier fats increase in the diet.
