Are you at the grocery store and wondering what a plant-based diet is? You're not alone. This style of eating is gaining in popularity, as more people are trying to shift their diets to healthier options. But it can be overwhelming, especially if you don't know where to start.
A plant-based diet, or a vegan diet, is made up of all fruits and vegetables. Sometimes it's called an "eco-friendly" or "green" plan because it can be healthy for the environment. It's also typically low in fat. But not all vegan diets are low in fat-it just depends on the person's choices.
A plant-based plan can include grains, beans, nuts, and many other types of fruits and vegetables. Leafy greens are a big part of this type of diet (more about this below). Everything from your breakfast cereal to your mom's famous green bean casserole contains some ingredients from plants.

People typically choose a plant-based diet for health reasons. For example, going vegan can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Plant foods are packed with nutrients that our bodies need to function well-and when we cut them out of our diets, we're losing those vital nutrients!
A plant-based diet will provide you with the nutrition you need to live a healthy lifestyle. It's no wonder more people are choosing this way of eating.
