Plant-Based Diet

Service Description

Whether you are on a plant exclusive or plant inclusive diet or considering the idea, and not sure if you are getting all the nutrients required for optimal health, this is the service for you. A plant exclusive diet (aka vegan) is a diet that excludes all forms of animal products, where a plant inclusive diet is a diet where approximately 80% of calories is from plants and 20% from little animal products, eg., cheese, eggs and little meat. Both diets are highly known for their health benefits and preventing and or managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

This can be easily overcome by ensuring the required nutrient intake (macronutrient and micronutrient) is met by a well planned diet.
