About

So you ask, why adapt a vegan or plant based diet? among many reasons for incorporating more plants into your diet, current research in plant-based health shows that including more plants in the diet can help combat chronic and preventable diseases, including Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, and obesity and even reduce the chance of cancer growth.
