As our society evolves, we are constantly facing the need
to change our behaviors and habits to increase our health
and quality of life. We are now facing climate change, food
insecurity and over 40% of our population is suffering from
chronic disease.
One of the recent ideas put forward to improve our world
and health is the plant-based nutrition. Even though food
regiments are not something our doctor prescribes (yet),
research is showing that food has a lot to contribute to our
health. It is also a less costly option to our society than
prescribe medication.
Our understanding of plant-based eating may differ from
one individual to another. In the world of nutrition, plantbased eating is having a large portion of one’s nutrition
coming from vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, whole grains
and also include legumes or other plants.
