Three-Part Series on Flexitarian Eating

The average American diet is more unbalanced than ever, the result of an eating pattern that is low in vegetables, fruits, and dairy and high in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.1,2 Unhealthy diets have become a significant public health issue, leading to overweight individuals, obesity, and other diet-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, Type-2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.3 A flexitarian eating pattern contains both plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds) and animal-based products in a balanced approach. Switching to a flexitarian approach may help one manage certain health concerns and provide sustainable dietary options.4
