A report from the NHS states that 74% of adults in the UK do not consume their “5-a-day.” Ideally, a healthy diet should be focused, if not completely centered, around fruits and vegetables. Given the vast amount of scientific evidence supporting it, one of our goals is to educate people on the benefits of following a plant-based lifestyle.
Plant-based diets have been shown to influence mental health in a positive way. Plant-based eaters, in a cross-sectional and interventional study, showed fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and mood disturbances than omnivores. This is because people who consume a predominantly plant-based diet had much higher levels of antioxidants in the blood, which in turn significantly helped with cognitive processing and emotions.
An increased consumption of whole, plant-based foods translates into an effective immune system. Because all the necessary vitamins and minerals are covered, the body can move towards operating efficiently. In fact, plant-based diets have been shown to lower the risk of heart diseases, type-2 diabetes as well as enhance overall physical wellbeing.
Numerous studies are now stating that embracing a plant-based lifestyle can significantly help lower carbon emissions. This is because the production of plant-based foods requires less land and water than animal-derived foods. So, it is one of our missions to encourage people to eat more plants to reduce their carbon footprint.
