The average American faces health concerns such as obesity, heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and/or cancer at some point in their life. Likely, we all know someone who has struggled with these concerns – if we haven’t faced them ourselves.

But did you know that all of these concerns can be linked to the average American diet?

In fact, a lot of the major health concerns facing Americans today can be treated and reversed with the right nutrition plan. Whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) nutrition is the best nutrition for improving your overall health and wellbeing.

On a WFPB diet, you get all the nutrients your body needs to prevent, improve, and reverse disease, produce energy efficiently, and lose weight. It can make you feel more energetic, positive, and clear-minded.

A WFPB diet replaces animal and ultra-processed foods with a wide variety of nutritious whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and spices, and it opens you up to a lot of benefits.
