A plant-based lifestyle can be a beneficial way of living for people, animals, and the planet. Vegan and Vegetarian diets that implement nutritional wisdom are healthy and can contribute to the wellness of animals and the earth.
A plant-based lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular as more people embrace compassionate living and healthier diets. Following a plant-based diet means abstaining from consuming animal products such as beef, poultry, fish and dairy. This can include vegetarianism or veganism, both of which have their own set of guidelines to follow when it comes to eating plants.
This type of lifestyle is not just about food but also involves compassion for animals, the environment and your own health. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains has many proven benefits for both body and mind. A plant-based diet may help reduce risk of disease development by providing essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that are important for overall wellness. Not only will you be doing something good for yourself but also helping animals who are suffering due to animal agriculture practices around the world.
