Did you know that vegans live longer than those who eat meat or eggs? The study found that eating more plant-based proteins instead of animal proteins could be very beneficial for health. This could impact long-term health outcomes.

Start By Enjoying One Plant-Based Meal Per Day
​​​​​​​
If you are used to eating meat with every meal, start by choosing one meal per day and make it 100% plant-based.   
Make The Transition Easier With Healthy Swaps
Try eating more plant-based foods by making healthy swaps. Enjoy a veggie burger instead of a meat-based burger, make a vegetable stew instead of a beef stew, and replace any milk-based products with unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
     
Swap Out Dairy 

Dairy products can be difficult to digest, and replacing dairy with plant-based options it is a great starting point for anyone who wants to enjoy a more plant-based diet. Start by swapping out dairy-based products such as yogurt with coconut yogurt, and milk with nut-based milks.
