Publisher's Synopsis
Are you thinking of shifting to a plant-based diet?
What is a Plant-Based Diet?
A plant-based diet relies heavily on foods derived from plants, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This diet gets its name from the way it emphasizes fruits and vegetables in the place of meat, dairy foods and eggs. In essence, this diet focuses on eating plants rather than animals or animal products. This type of food pattern is also referred to as vegetarianism (as vegetarians typically don't consume animal flesh) or veganism (as vegans specifically don't consume any animal products at all).
No Meat, No Dairy, No Eggs...Does it Sound a Bit Extreme?
Experts believe that plant-based diets can improve your health because it is high in nutrients and is low in saturated fat, cholesterol and harmful trans-fat. Further, a plant-based diet can lower your risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. You could even prevent certain types of cancer if you follow a plant-based diet.

So, Are Vegetarians Healthier?
It is not completely clear if people following a vegetarian or plant-based diet eat healthier than others or are less likely to suffer from diet-related diseases.
It is suggested that those following a plant-based diet enjoy the same amount of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants as those eating an omnivorous diet.
The health benefits found in plant-based diets are thought to be similar - though not identical - to those found in vegan and vegetarian diets.
