Eat More

Plants!

aising kids on a plant-
forward diet is smart:
R“Whole plant foods are
loaded with nutrients, vita-
mins, antioxidants, and

fiber, and eating more can
boost health and lower
your risk of chronic
diseases,” says Yami
Cazorla-Lancaster,
D.O., a plant-based
pediatrician in Yakima,
WA, and host of the
podcast “Veggie
Doctor Radio.” It’s also

more doable than you
may think, since you
don’t have to ban meat
and dairy—just put
the major focus on
fruits, veggies,
whole grains, beans,
nuts, and seeds.
Here’s how to
get everyone
on board.
