Plant-based eaters show fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and mood disturbances.
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 managing emotions.
Plant-based diets have been shown to lower the risk of heart diseases and type-2 diabetes.
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.
Production of plant-based foods requires less land and water than animal-derived foods.
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.
