The evidence surrounding the benefits of a more plant predominate diet continues to emerge for preventing a number of chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Did you know consuming beans, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains can help you live longer and have improved quality of life, all from plants! Evidence based research shows plants help aid in brain health, energy level, weight loss, GI issues, improved immunity, enhance sleep and the list goes on and on. Variety is key and new research shows we should be aiming for 30 different types plants per week.
Whether you’re a seasoned plant-based eater or just curious about incorporating more whole foods into your diet, this is a welcoming space to enjoy great food, swap recipes and build community. Please bring list of ingredients and/or recipe to help those with dietary preferences or allergies. Come hungry, bring a dish and let’s enjoy good company and foods that are proven to heal our body!
