How do you maximize the ben-efits of a plant-based diet?

–

Eat a rainbow of fruits & vege-tables, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, in as natural a form as possible.

– It is not as impor-

tant what percentage of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins you have in your diet as it is where you get them from (plants

vs. animals, whole vs. processed).

– Those compo-

n e n t s i n c l u d e f i b e r , phytochemicals, antioxidants, and pre and probiotics. These are maximized by a whole

food, plant-based diet.

– Those components include chemical

contaminants (pesticides, hor- mones, drugs), products of high-temperature cooking ( h e t e r o c y c l i c a m i n e s ,

polycyclic aromatic hydrocar- bons, advanced glycation end products, acrylamide), food additives (salt, preservatives,

artificial colors and flavors, arti-ficial sweeteners), Neu5Gc (in-
