More Organizations See Benefits of Unrefined Plant Foods

Extracted from the College of Lifestyle Medicine Projects


#EATMOREPLANTS This hashtag is coming to life!


One of the main institutes that establish lifestyle medicine protocols for medical professionals is the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. The organization defines Lifestyle Medicine as the use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic approaches, such as a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, meaning and connectedness, avoidance of risky substance use, and other non-drug modalities, to prevent, treat, and, oftentimes, reverse the lifestyle-related, chronic disease that's all too prevalent.


While other medical professional associations, government bodies, and stakeholder groups have their own emphasis and focus when it comes to lifestyle and dietary guidance, a common theme does emerge: Eating more unrefined, plant-based foods is an important strategy in prevention of chronic disease, management of chronic conditions, and promotion of overall health.
