Why Plant-Based?

organic food  

Compared to a typical American diet, a plant-based philosophy is higher in unsaturated fats and fiber, both of which support better health. It can be more nutrient dense and contain more vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, all of which help to reduce the risk of chronic disease- Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity, Arthrtitis, Hypertension to name a few.
How to Start?
 
  
Focus on adding, instead of dining on just chicken and rice, add a cup of sautéed broccoli or steamed carrots. Fruits like peaches and berries make for delicious plant-based additions to desserts. For snacks, try setting out a bowl of nuts. Plant-based eating is not an all-or-nothing proposition. If it helps you get started, choose just one day each week to focus on plant-based meals.

 

Wish for less medicines, less fatigue, less disease?
  
Studies have shown time after time, a plant-based diet can achieve all this! You are what you eat.... Everyone knows that fast, processed food has led to disease and illness, but we choose convenience over health every time.
Think eating a plant based diet is difficult? Think again! With a few tips and tricks you'll be eating more tasty plant-based meals in no time. There is no need to overhaul your diet overnight, just start with a single meal or recipe and then begin to incorporate more plant foods.
Welcome to Part 1 of 3!

What is a Plant-Based Diet?

 

Plant-based eating doesn't have to be vegetarian or vegan. There are a number of plant-based eating plans like the Mediterranean Diet and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) that include small amounts of poultry and lean red meat.

 

If you prefer an entirely vegetarian regimen there are plenty to choose from. Part of the beauty is that plant-based eating is customizable to your unique preferences.

 

For some, the transition to a diet with less meat is best accomplished through gradual steps. In general, the first step is to set the intention to eat more vegetables. Aim for adding one  vegetable to every meal.

 

Every journey starts with a single step!
