There are immense health benefits of a plant-based diet. Below are a few of many:

1. Immune Health – “Plants give your body what it needs to help fight off infection,” says Andrea Murray, MD Anderson health education specialist. “A plant-based diet strengthens your immune system to protect you against germs and microorganisms.”
2. High In Fiber – Eating a plant-based diet improves the health of your gut so you are better able to absorb the nutrients from foods that support your immune system and reduce inflammation.
3. Longevity – a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and low in sugar, salt, and processed meats—may promote healthy cellular aging, according to a 2018 study of women in the American Journal of Epidemiology. This is important for avoiding chronic health conditions that become more common as we age.
