Plant-Based 

What is a Plant-Based Diet?

   A plant-based diet is a type of diet that focuses on foods derived from plant sources such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, while minimizing or completely eliminating animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs.

Plant-based diets are often associated with health benefits, such as a reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, plant-based diets can be more environmentally sustainable than diets that include a lot of animal products, as animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.

It's important to note that a plant-based diet can still be unhealthy if it consists of highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and added sugars. It's important to focus on whole, minimally processed foods to ensure optimal health benefits.
