Health: First and foremost, plants are by far the most nutrient-dense foods we can eat. If longevity and wellbeing is your goal, then switch to plant-based. Eating a plant-based diet supports your immune system. Plants have essential nutrients that you cannot get from other foods. The vitamins and minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants in plants help keep your cells healthy and your body in balance so that your immune system can function at its best. Plants also reduce inflammation and neutralize toxins in your body. Studies have shown that in just 4 weeks on a plant-based diet you can experience healthier weight management, lower cholesterol, lower resting heart rate, lower blood pressure, a balance in blood sugar, and more.
Planet: If you care about our planet, consider plant-based. Changing your diet to avoid animal products reduces your emissions for a typical global consumer by 28%, land use by 75% and water pollution by around 60%. Studies have shown diet change and limiting your consumption of animal products is the single biggest way to reduce your impact on the environment.
Animals: I won’t get preachy here, but all animals deserve love and equality. Especially when every single nutrient necessary for human health and wellbeing can be found in plants.
