Plant-based diets are often praised for their ability to improve health. Indeed, eating fresh fruits and veggies can help reduce inflammation, increase vitamin intake, and boost your immunity.
Believe it or not, we consider ourselves plant-based here at The Paleo Diet®! While we recommend you include animal protein in your diet too, by volume, Paleo followers eat more plant foods.
This month, we took a break from meat-based recipes and switched our focus to vegan and vegetarian-friendly meals. While we don’t believe purely plant-based diets are the best diets for human health, we recognize and respect individuals who eat this way for ethical reasons. We kept sustainability at the heart of our conversation and explored how foods like seaweed are good for the planet.
See more about what defines a plant-based diet and how to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet with our March digest.
We hope you enjoy!
