IHN Virtual Open House | November 2021 | Optimal Plant Based Eating Approaches

With Jacqueline Steinert, BA (Hons), CNP

You are what you eat. But today, the nutritional landscape is populated with trendy diets that range from all meat to no meat to low fat to high fat to low carb to high carb. Confusion abounds. What has been clinically proven is that plant based eating is both ethically and healthfully beneficial, especially when incorporating abundant antioxidant rich fresh fruits and vegetables, coupled with healthy fats and quality proteins. Besides being highly nutrient dense and powerfully preventative in disease, plant based eating is generally more economical and environmentally sustainable, reducing our dietary carbon footprint.

Plant-rich protocols consist mostly or entirely of plant based foods, which are plant derived foods such as vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and fruits. On top of that, quality matters. Whole unprocessed plant foods of excellent quality provide bioavailable nutrients that fuel and balance our health optimally. Join this lecture to discover what an optimal plant based plate looks like, critical macros and micros to incorporate into the protocol, and why we must focus on whole plant foods in order to achieve plant based benefits including improved metabolic measures in health and disease, encompassing cognitive and physical wellbeing!
