Robust scientific evidence supports the benefits of a WFPB nutrition due to the numerous fiber, anti-oxidant, polyphenol, and anti-inflammatory properties. The S.A.D (SAD AMERICAN DIET) is loaded with a high amount of salt, sugar, unhealthy oils, and additives, leading to multiple lifestyle-related chronic diseases within our communities. According to recent studies, only 3% of the population is getting the minimum fiber requirement of 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men.
