One of the most powerful things you can do to improve your health, boost your energy, and prevent chronic diseases is to transition to a plant-focused diet. Studies show that many chronic diseases can be prevented, controlled, or even reversed with a whole-food, plant-based diet. A plant-based diet can reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes, cardiac disease, some cancers, and other major illnesses. You may also experience reduced inflammation and more energy. Changing to a plant-based diet typically doesn’t happen overnight.
Start by making small changes that over time lead your diet to become more plant-focused. Watch Dietitian and Culinary Medicine Specialist Allison Harrell as she demonstrates a variety of simple recipes that will support you in including more plant foods in your diet while using key kitchen and pantry ingredients. Harrell demonstrates the following recipes:
- Italian “Sausage” Sauce with Mushrooms and Zoodles
- White Bean Dip
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese
- Crispy Seasoned Tofu
- Vegan Arugula Pizza
