Plant-based diets are increasing in popularity, and with good reason! These diets are environmentally friendly, animal-friendly, and have been linked to many health benefits. One specific variation on plant-based diets is the Whole Food Plant-Based No Oil diet. How healthy is this diet and what do you need to know before adopting it?
When you think about vegans, what comes to mind? For some, it’s the stereotypical vegan appearance – gaunt, frail, and malnourished with wrinkled, saggy skin. Because of this image, many people worry that vegan diets don’t provide enough nutrition, are unsustainable long-term, and contribute to faster aging. But is this true? On the flip side, can a vegan diet help you live longer? In this blog post we’ll discuss vegan diets and the most up-to-date research on how they impact aging.
