WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
The health benefits of a diet rich in plant foods are extensive and well documented. For starters, fresh fruits and vegetables are low in calories and packed with nutrients. In addition, they have many important phytochemicals — typically related to the colors of the produce — that promote wellness and protect the body from illness and disease. Further, the high levels of fiber found in plant foods slow the absorption rate of sugars and carbohydrates, which helps normalize blood sugar levels and prevent diabetes.
