DID YOU KNOW?
“The biggest obstacle in the adoption of a whole food, plant-based diet is not in the lack of evidence, but in the public awareness of what evidence already exists.” Micaela Karlsen, PhD Candidate
Why Plant-Based?
The Standard American Diet, or SAD, means in North America the majority of us eat 63% refined and processed foods. That means empty calories with NO nutritional benefit!
It’s estimated that as much as 80% of all healthcare dollars are spent on the treatment of conditions that are preventable!
What Is a Whole-Foods, Plant-Based Diet?
- Focuses on plants, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, seeds and nuts, which should make up the majority of what you eat.
- Excludes refined foods, added sugars, white flour, and processed oils
- Limits or avoids animal products
Plant-Based eating benefits health conditions:
- Heart Disease
- Cancer
- Cognitive Decline
- Diabetes
- Obesity and Weight Loss
- Stress and Anxiety
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Minimize stroke risk
- Increase Overall Longevity
