plant-based nutrition
Plant-based nutrition focuses on consuming foods primarily from plants, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This dietary approach emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods while reducing or eliminating animal products. It is associated with various health benefits, such as improved heart health and lower risks of chronic diseases.
Many people adopt plant-based nutrition for health, environmental, or ethical reasons. Research suggests that a diet rich in plant-based foods can provide essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Additionally, it can promote sustainable eating practices, contributing to a healthier planet by reducing the carbon footprint associated with animal agriculture.
