Whole Foods Plant Based Diet Recipes Easy

You know that the more plant foods (like fresh fruits and veggies) you can get into your daily diet, the healthier you're likely to be.

In a 2013 nutritional update to physicians published in The Permanente Journal, a group of medical doctors noted that according to current research, plant based diets "may lower body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels. They may also reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower ischemic heart disease mortality rates."

They concluded that physicians should consider recommending a plant based diet to all of their patients, particularly those with heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

In a later 2019 study, researchers reported that diets higher in plant foods were associated with a 19 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and an 11 percent lower risk of death overall. And in a recent 2021 study, researchers found that postmenopausal women who ate high levels of plant protein had lower risks of premature death, cardiovascular disease, and dementia-related death compared to women who ate fewer plant proteins.

It's not easy, however, to put this knowledge into practice. You may have a few whole food, plant based recipes at hand, but maybe they're complicated or require too many ingredients. Perhaps you think that eating a whole food, plant based diet is too expensive. Maybe you just don't have enough recipes to provide a variety of tasty plant based meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you and your family.
