What is the Plant-Based Diet?
A plant-based diet focuses on foods primarily from plants, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. While some versions may include small amounts of animal products, the emphasis is on minimally processed plant foods as the foundation of every meal.
Scientific Evidence
- Heart Health: Research in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows significant reductions in cardiovascular disease risk.
- Longevity: Studies in the Journal of Internal Medicine demonstrate increased lifespan and reduced all-cause mortality.
- Environmental Impact: Research shows plant-based diets have substantially lower carbon, water, and land footprints.
