You don't need to be a vegan or vegetarian to want to infuse your diet with more greenery. Enjoying a more plant-based diet is a way for anyone to live a healthier, cleaner and more sustainable life — and it doesn't involve you giving up the foods you love. It just means you are going to bring more whole, delicious and nutritious foods into your diet.
The benefits of eating a plant-based diet (or more plant-based diet) are numerous. They include:
Reducing your risk of getting chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes. If you already have heart disease, diabetes or are obese, switching to a plant-based diet hasbeen shown to help reverse or rid your body of the ailments. Seriously.
Improve skin health. The vitamin and mineral rich nature of plants combined with the influx of antioxidants and phytochemicals can actually improve skin appearance and boost collagen production.
Bolster gut health.This probably isn't that surprising, but it bears mentioning. Too much meat and too few plantsmay seriously upset gut health, causing inflammation, GI problems, obesity and even colon cancer. Increasing your consumption of plant-based foods, on the other hand, has been shown to improve gut-health, namely through increasing the good bacteria in our guts. And this will help us look, feel and be healthier.
Easier weight management.Again, here's another obvious benefit: eating tons of whole foods makes it easier to manage (and lose!) weight. Eating tons of processed, junky foods? Yeah, not so much.
Better for the environment. Our heavy reliance on animal by-products for food is not sustainable. At all. In fact, we aredramatically overburdening our world. Eating plants, however, is, making a predominantly plant-based diet better for the planet.
While you don't have to give up steak, ice cream oryour cronut altogether, there's obviously a lot to be gained by eating more plant-based goodies. Don't even stress about overhauling your entire diet overnight. Instead, over the course of a few weeks, try implementing a few of these easy swaps.

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-6 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.
We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS.
