YOU DON’T HAVE TO EAT ALL PLANT BASED MEALS…BUT THERE ARE MANY GREAT RECIPES ON THE INTERNET THAT CAN NOURISH!

Health conscious, I am always on the lookout for good recipes that nourish. Well-planned plant-based diets follow healthy eating guidelines, and contain all the nutrients that our bodies need. The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recognizes that they are suitable for every age and stage of life. Some research has linked plant-based diets with lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. On a cold winter’s evening, you may want to try an easy-to-cook comfort food: a healthy corn soup. See insert for cooking instructions, and enjoy!
