Nutrition is Nourishment, at its best it is a Self Love Way of Operating

For a way of eating to be sustainable to us it helps to choose a dietary pattern and lifestyle that brings greater purpose and meaning to our food choices. Ask yourself; how important is your health is to you; how important is the environmental footprint of the food you eat to you; how important is animal welfare to you; how important is eating an optimal diet to you.  This in turn evolves into a way of living that becomes an important part of who we are.[i] 

A Whole Food Plant-Based diet is the most nutritious diet we can eat.

·         It consists exclusively of plants including, fruit vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, legumes – no animal foods; meat, fish, dairy eggs, milk
or cheese.

·         It is a diet of abundance, not restriction.

·         The plants contain all the macro nutrients; protein, carbohydrates and fibre that you require and also all the micronutrients; vitamins
and minerals, that you require.

·         All energy on earth essentially comes from sun light. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants capture the energy radiated from
the sun to produce protein, carbohydrates and fats. Animals eat these plants, digest them & absorb them, and extract their energy. Eating a
WFPBD cuts out the animal, going straight to the source of abundance.
