Plant-based

What is Plant-Based?

Plant-based refers to a diet that emphasizes foods derived from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, and may include small amounts of animal products. Plant-based diets can be healthy if they are balanced and include a variety of nutrient-rich foods, but they may require careful planning to ensure that all nutrient needs are being met. Plant-based diets have been associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
