An ideal whole food, plant-based lifestyle emphasizes vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and beans. Nuts, seeds, and avocados are used sparingly.

There is an emphasis on unprocessed or minimally processed foods, and all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and fish are excluded.

A person following a healthy whole food, plant-based regimen also strives to exclude all added oil and to use minimal amounts of added salt and sugar.

Healthy You Network is the only Arizona 501(c)3 nonprofit that promotes a whole, plant-based lifestyle. Your generous donation of $5, $10, $25, $50, or more will enable Healthy You Network to keep educating people about the benefits of whole food, plant-based nutrition. All contributions are tax deductible.
