Why Plant-Based?

Science and statistics show that a plant-based diet is the most beneficial for our health.

  • “A plant-based diet is a powerful way to achieve good health” - according to the Physicians Committee. Learn more here.

  • Did you know, that a plant-based diet can lower the risk of coronary heart disease by 40%?

  • “Plant-based diet fully or partially opens blocked arteries in up to 91 percent of patients. Reduces the risk of hypertension by 34 percent. Is associated with 29 mg/dL and 23 mg/dL lower total cholesterol and LDL-C levels, respectively, compared with non-vegetarian diets”. Read more here.

  • “In 2006, after reviewing data from 87 published studies, authors Berkow and Barnard13 reported in Nutrition Reviews that a vegan or vegetarian diet is highly effective for weight loss. They also found that vegetarian populations have lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. In addition, their review suggests that weight loss in vegetarians is not dependent on exercise and occurs at a rate of approximately 1 pound per week. The authors further stated that a vegan diet caused more calories to be burned after meals, in contrast to nonvegan diets which may cause fewer calories to be burned because food is being stored as fat.13

    Farmer et al14 suggest that vegetarian diets may be better for weight management and may be more nutritious than diets that include meat. In their study, they showed that vegetarians were slimmer than their meat-eating counterparts. Vegetarians were also found to consume more magnesium, potassium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, and vitamins and less total fat. The authors conclude that vegetarian diets are nutrient dense and can be recommended for weight management without compromising diet quality.14”
