Health Benefits of Plant-Based Nutrition Presentation presented by Healthy Countryside*
What you eat plays a vital role in your health. Eating a daily variety of whole plants (vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, and herbs) and less ultra-processed and sugary food lowers the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. Learn about nutrition research insights and get tips on how to incorporate more plants into your meals. LTTV’s YouTube video of this presentation can be found here.
