Our modern diets include quite a bit of highly processed foods that are rich in fats, sugar, and artificial ingredients. Most of what we eat is very foreign to our bodies Ð most of which our ancestors would not even recognize. Modern diets have also gravitated toward eating much more animal derived foods as well as highly processed food. The result of this diet evolution has been skyrocketing rates of disease that many are now attributing to our lifestyles.
The truth is that nature knows exactly what our bodies need to thrive and heal. There is a growing amount of evidence behind the benefits of whole-food, plant-based nutrition. Thriving on Plants strives to provide education and information to support healthy, plant-based eating. When nurtured properly, our bodies can ward off or ever reverse chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, and many others.
Many people have busy lives and choose fast or convenience food. Most have forgotten how to prepare and thrive on natural, healthy, food. However, with a commitment to change and a little know-how, healthy plant-based eating can be delicious, satisfying, and can work within all budgets. Plant-based eating is also more humane and consumes fewer natural resources. It allows our footprint to be more gentle and support global sustainability.
