Your Guide to Plant-based Diets and Your Heart Health

Gain the Advantage to Heart Health with Plant-based Foods

You are what you eat. A simple phrase that we take to heart. The Lifespan Cardiovascular Institute has done the research, studied the results, and put into practice the path to healthier living.

It starts with one five-letter word: P-L-A-N-T. When you, and your family, add this important category of ingredients to your diet, you gain the advantage to a healthier heart.

A plant-based diet is a fun, colorful, and easy approach to eating. It’s one big step towards the prevention of heart attacks and other types of cardiovascular conditions. Our team of cardiologists, nurse practitioners, researchers, and surgeons agree – prevention is the best medicine. Recent studies by the American Heart Association indicate that plant-based diets, not strict vegetarianism, can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease at any age.

Pump up the number of plant-based foods you eat and your heart will thank you. The Lifespan Cardiovascular Institute is here to guide you towards a long life of good eating and living.
