Book Nook: How to Eat More Plants

Nutritionist and gut health expert Dr, Megan Rossi is on a mission to help everyone eat more vegetables without having to radically shift their diets (including giving up meat!). Her new book, HOW TO EAT MORE PLANTS: Making Transform Your Health with 30 Plant-Based Foods Per Week (and Why It's Easier Than You Think!) [The Experiment introduces a new school of thought on how we approach our relationship to food: Don't diet, diversify!

Dr. Megan says that the secret to a healthy gut (and a healthier body and mind) is all in the microbes: the trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. These microbes thrive on fiber, and as many different types as they can get. This is the core reasoning behind making plants the center of our diets, and it is crucial to our well-being and longevity.

The book is packed with useful information and the science to back it up. Coverage angles you might consider include:What is plant-based diversity and why it's the foundation of a healthy diet

1. Simple steps your readers can take to begin introducing more plants to their diets today
2. The immediate benefits of adding diverse vegetables to the diet
3. Why optimizing gut health is so important to overall health and well-being
4. What the condition of our gut tells us about our overall health
5. The link between the gut, the brain, and the metabolism

In addition to the science behind the approach, the book also includes a 28-day plan and 80+ plant-based recipes.
