Make Every Monday A Meatless Monday
Published
Plant-based foods are SO healthy for you and your heart. You can get all of the nutrients you need from fresh, unprocessed foods, including protein.
Eating less red meat and more plant protein is good for your health. Studies show that it reduces risk of early death among various groups, such as postmenopausal women and those with certain risk factors. Going meatless also helps lower cholesterol and risk of heart disease.
Today, let’s give meatless Monday a chance by focusing on protein from other sources. Try to go the entire day without eating meat. Instead, choose plant-based alternatives like vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains, or tofu.
If you enjoy Meatless Monday today, try to continue with it moving forward. By abstaining from meat one day each week, you can improve your health and lessen your impact on the environment. Learn more about the Meatless Monday campaign.
