Did you know that, plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains, are packed with nutrition. And research has also shown that eating lots of them is linked with lower cancer rates.
Another way plant-based foods may prevent cancer is by boosting fiber consumption. Young women who ate the most fiber-rich diets were 25% less likely to get breast cancer later in life, a study found. Other research finds that each 10 grams of daily fiber could lower the risk of colorectal cancer by 10%.

FINDING A BALANCE

Make GRADUAL changes.
Some ways to do it:
TRY meatless meals at least once a week. "Meatless Monday"
You may be more likely to stick with a new healthy habit at the beginning of the week.
Use beans for bulk. Decrease the overall amount of meat in some recipes by increasing the amount of beans, lentils or vegetables, foods that fill more space on your plate, and we often eat with our eyes, so you don't feel like you're being deprived.
Treat meat like a condiment. Instead of using meat as a main dish, use just a little bit for flavor. For example, cut turkey bacon into very small pieces and sprinkle them over a pita pizza. You get the flavor in every bite without using much.
Eating a plant-based diet doesn't have to be all or nothing.
The overall message is, small changes can have a big impact!!
