The Proof Is In The Plants

What if there was a way of eating that may help us live healthier for longer and protect the future of our planet, too?

The good news is that evidence now shows a plant-based diet may offer us exactly that – and straight-talking nutritionist Simon Hill has done the hard work translating the science into actionable advice for everyday life.

By undertaking a master’s degree in nutrition, poring over the latest scientific papers and books, and producing hundreds of hours of his internationally successful podcast The Proof, Simon has pursued the answers to all the questions he had about fuelling our bodies with more plants. Now, in his first book, he brings it all together into one inspiring and practical guide.

It covers a holistic overview of how best to approach plant based diets, including the reasons why we’re all so confused about what to eat, the evidence showing how a plant-based diet might reduce risks of heart attacks and strokes, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dementia, the positive impact of plant-based living for the climate and animal welfare, common myths about a plant-based diet – and what the real facts are, how to build a healthy, satisfying plant-based plate, from macronutrients to micronutrients, and includes ractical tips for making the shift, and much more.

Paperback. 416 pages. Published by Penguin Life, Sydney, 2021. Written by Simon Hill. 235 x 155 mm.
