When you re trying to cut out meat and dairy, one easy way is to find plant-based swaps for some of your favorite items like Ricotta cheese. We asked Sheri Vettel, a Registered Dietician at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, to explain the benefits of making these strategic swaps, then recommend plant-based choices for your long-term health goals.
“The more plants that you eat, the more disease-fighting phytonutrients you’ll consume as well, Vettel explained. In fact, it’s estimated that there are over 100 phytonutrients in one serving of vegetables, so while you re seeking out vegan cheese dip, be sure to load up on the fresh crudité to use for dipping. The phytonutrients in fruit and vegetables have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, better digestive health, and reduced cancer risk. They even support hormonal health, as well as the body’s natural detoxification process.
