What is a Plant-Based Diet?

A plant-based diet primarily consists of foods derived from plants, including vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruits, while minimizing or excluding animal products. But what are the benefits, and how can you transition smoothly?

The Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet

Plant-based diets are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and low in saturated fats. Regular intake of such nutrients can lead to numerous health benefits such as lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, improved digestion, and even a longer lifespan.

Making the Transition

Transitioning to a plant-based diet doesn’t need to be an all-or-nothing approach. Begin by increasing the number of plant-based meals in your diet, explore new recipes, and find what works best for you.

Balancing Your Nutrients

While plant-based diets can be nutrient-dense, careful planning is required to ensure adequate intake of certain nutrients that are predominantly found in animal products, such as vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids.
