Plants Are the Backbone of Life on Earth

Our everyday life depends on plants in so many ways.

Let's review some of the special purposes of plants on

Earth:

3. Medicine: One-quarter of all prescription drugs come

directly from or are derivatives of plants.

1. Food: Everything we eat comes directly or indirectly

from plants. Throughout human history, approximately

7,000 different plant species have been used as food

by people .

4. Air: Oxygen is brought to you by plants, as a

by-product of photosynthesis.

5. Habitat: Species of fish and wildlife depend on

plants for food and shelter.

2. Water: Plants regulate the water cycle: they help

distribute and purify the planet's water. They also help

move water from the soil to the atmosphere through a

process called transpiration.

6. Climate: Plants store carbon, and have helped keep

much of the carbon dioxide produced from the

burning of fossil fuels out of the atmosphere.

Finding Protein in a Plant-Based Diet

Protein is one of three energy nutrients, which means protein helps provide

calories to your diet. When people adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, depending

on the type of vegetarian they are (lacto-ovo, vegan, etc. ) protein can be

easily overlooked in the diet. This can be problematic because protein

is also needed for muscle growth and repair, hair and nail growth, the

production of hormones and red blood cells and the maintenance of a

healthy immune system. About 15 to 20% of all the calories we eat should

come from protein. Animal foods are common sources of protein, however

there are also popular plant based foods that can contribute protein to a

healthy diet.

Foods such as beans and legumes, tofu, tempeh and grains such as

quinoa or barley are all excellent sources of protein. The key is learning

how to add these foods into your daily meals and snacks. For example,

beans can be added to eggs or a morning breakfast burrito, bean dips like

hummus, are convenient snacks with cut up vegetables, quinoa can take

the place of pasta in a meal and often foods like tofu can be substituted for

animal proteins in meals like spaghetti and meat sauce, chili, lasagna or as

a topping on pizza. To ensure you and your family include plenty of protein

in your vegetable based diet, gather some recipes and try at least one new

dish each week. Build a list of family favorites and rotate these meals into

your monthly meal plan.
