About Plant Powered Protein
In their latest release, PLANT-POWERED PROTEIN: Nutrition Essentials and Dietary Guidelines for All Ages, Canadian plant-based nutrition experts Brenda Davis, RD, and Vesanto Melina, MS, RD, together with Cory Davis, answer the top
question for many people considering a plant-based diet: Will I get enough protein? The exciting answer is a resounding YES.The authors provide scientific studies, tables, charts, and in-depth nutritional analyses to show that plants are an abundant source of high-quality protein, and explain the roles of macronutrients and micronutrients, and how the amino acids found in protein promote healthy growth. Readers learn how to determine their recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein per age groups, and how to obtain all the vital nutrients each group requires. Two key advantages worth noting about plant protein: (1) it has a much lighter carbon footprint, and (2) it offers distinct health advantages. From land usage to water consumption, plant-based protein supports the environment. Plant protein contains vital compounds, such as fiber, anti- oxidants, and phytochemical, that help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and lack harmful components found in animal products, such as cholesterol, endotoxins, and saturated fats. Menus and a daily guide to healthful eating assist with planning a nutritionally balanced diet. Thirty delicious recipes make it easy to put this essential information into practice.
