Since switching to a 100% plant-based I’ve noticed many benefits and a much higher sense of well-being overall.
The reasons for the rise of interest in plant-based diets are powerful, and growing.
There are differing reasons why people choose to eat an exclusively (or at least mostly) plant-based diet:
Health
Ethics
The Planet / Our Environment
The People / World Hunger
Water
No matter the reason, we all share space in a world riddled with endless nutritional confusion and out-of-whack priorities – A place where easier, faster and cheaper are favoured.
It’s time for us to become informed and empowered. It’s time for us all to be accountable. We have the power to heal ourselves, and the power to be healthier and happier than we ever imagined possible.
Adopting a plant-based, or at least plant-centric approach to your plate is the single most powerful and positively impactful choice you can make as a conscious, compassionate consumer. A choice that will help prevent and reverse disease; reduce your carbon footprint; and preserve the planet for our children and animal friends alike.
