Large-scale studies investigating diets rich in plant-based foods have emphasised significant health benefits, including reduced chronic disease and increased longevity. But what does plant-based mean and how can we maximise these benefits?
Plant-based eating is a broad category encompassing dietary patterns centred around plant-based foods, typically minimising, or excluding animal products. Options range from the typically researched, Mediterranean and vegetarian eating patterns, to the stricter vegan diet and as the name might suggest, less rigid, flexitarian diet. However, we aim to explain how incorporating nourishing plant foods into daily eating habits can be done in a way that works for you.
