Plant-based diets are becoming more popular as people are trying to make healthier eating choice and improve their overall health. Despite its popularity, there are still many things to learn about plant-based diet, so here are a few surprising facts you probably didn’t know.
It’s Not Always Healthy
Eating a vegan, a vegetarian or plant-based diet is not always healthy, as most people think, because there are many plant-based foods that are still packed with fat, sugar, or salt.
You Don’t Have To Go Cold Turkey
Switching to a plant-based diet can be very challenging for some people, but you don’t have to do it overnight. On the contrary, this transition is likely to be more successful and healthy if you make gradual changes to your diet.
You Can Get Enough Protein
There’s a common myth that we can’t get enough protein on a plant-based diet, but this is simply not true. There are many plant-based sources of protein to choose from such as legumes, seeds, and nuts, and we can even get protein from some fruits.
It’s Good For Gut Health
Unlike most animal products, plant-based foods are rich in fiber which means that this diet can be great for people who want to improve gut health.
