Change Your Diet, Change Your Life

 

Almost everyone I know has a young person at home (son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter) who has gone vegan (or better, on a whole plant lifestyle). This is usually a result of one or more or the following:

 

• an understanding of the health benefits of a whole plant diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans/nuts/legumes)

• interest in high performance athletics

• a love for animals
• a knowledge of the environmental impact of eating meat

​

“If you are not eating meat, dairy products, or eggs, are you getting enough protein?”

 

You might be surprised to learn that the answer is a resounding YES, an answer backed up by mountains of scientific evidence. In fact, a fast-growing number of nutrition experts and doctors recognize that, “Healthy eating may be best achieved with a whole plant diet.… Research shows that whole plant diets are cost-effective, low-risk interventions that may lower body-mass index, blood pressure, [diabetes risk], and cholesterol levels. They may also reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower ischemic heart disease mortality rates.”*
