Feel Good from the Inside Out
At first glance, the term “plant-based diet” might seem self-explanatory—to eat a diet based on plant foods (in contrast to the standard North American diet that’s largely focused on animal-based foods). As a term, “plant-based diet” is often used interchangeably with “vegan” (a diet and lifestyle that avoids all animal products in food, cosmetics, and apparel). But while those who identify as vegan eat an exclusively plant-based diet, eating a plant-based diet can fall along a spectrum with as many variations as there are people to make choices about food.
We welcome everyone, no matter where you fall on the spectrum of a plant-based diet, because whether you’re adding one new plant-based food or 20, there are benefits to be found from making plants a bigger part of your life.
Compared to the average North American diet, plant-based diets are rich in everything you’ve been told to eat more of, including fiber from fruits and vegetables, and good fats from nuts and seeds. Eating more plant-based foods increase your intake of micronutrients, antioxidants, and phytonutrients which have health promoting benefits. Plant foods contain many beneficial compounds that support your body including the immune system, to body weight, to heart function.
