Vegan meals are better for you and better for the planet - and with Thistle, they can also be convenient, affordable, and most importantly, delicious! Say goodbye to bland and start enjoying inspiring dishes like delicious jackfruit tinga, savory spring chickpea tabouleh, and zesty yuca asada chimichurri bowls brought to your doorstep.
But besides being deliciously mouthwatering, here are four reasons why you should consider going plant-based:
Diets filled with processed foods can leave you feeling groggy and bloated. Vegan meals are lighter, and filled with fiber and protein, giving you more energy and making you feel satisfied for longer. Studies have also shown that a low-fat, plant-based diet is effective for shedding those extra pounds. By consuming more filling & nutritious food, you may be less inclined to reach for the bag of potato chips.
Being proactive about your diet is the best way to prevent health complications as you get older. Plant-based diets have been linked to reduced rates of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. Eating vegan can also help decrease plaque in the blood vessels, reducing your risk of diabetes and heart disease by up to 25%. Not to mention that lower blood pressure and cholesterol will help protect you against cardiovascular complications.
Rather than take a multivitamin, which studies show largely don’t work or may even be harmful, you can get your daily dose by focusing on a plant-based diet. Vegan meals are rich in immune-boosting vitamins C and E, antioxidants that help with cell repair, and phytochemicals that boost protective enzymes to keep you feeling healthy and fresh. Maintaining your vitamin and antioxidant intake can also help reduce the severity of those pesky colds and flus.
A typical meat eater’s diet has at least 2-3x the carbon and water footprint of a vegan. Moreover, the impacts don’t stop there: raising animals and their feed is a massive driver of soil degradation, deforestation, extinction of wildlife, and eutrophication. Eating plant-forward meals is therefore one of the most impactful ways to reduce your overall environmental footprint, from climate change to natural resource use to land and water pollution.
