I’ve been experimenting with a Plant-based lifestyle since September 2017.  I’m happy with how I feel and am both inspired and saddened by what I have learned.

Over the next 12 months, I plan to challenge myself by documenting, sharing, and continuing my journey practicing a plant-based lifestyle.

Happy New Year and Live Well!

 

Two Facts I’ve Learned So Far:

 

  • The #1 Killer of Americans is Heart Disease. In 2017, over 600,000 Americans died of Heart Disease, which is the equivalent of one person dying every 60 seconds, every hour, around the clock, year after year. [1]

 

  • In 1900 in the US, the top 3 killers were infectious diseases: pneumonia, TB, and diarrheal diseases.[2] . Now they are Heart Disease, Lung Diseases (COPD, lung cancer, and asthma) and Iatrogenic (relating to illness caused by medical examination or treatment) [pg.9, 3]

Would You Consider or Are You Already Practicing A Plant-based Lifestyle?
