With all of the scary headlines today, there may be no better time to consider switching to a diet that can help boost your immune system and lower your risk of chronic diseases that make people more susceptible to the ravages of COVID-19.

If you need to lose weight, how can you do it without skipping meals or limiting your portions? In a word, it’s all about FIBER. Plant-foods have it; animal products do not. Fiber is what makes us feel full, keeps us regular, controls blood sugar levels and protects against certain cancers.  Learn to comfortably fill up on whole foods and watch the pounds melt away.
