I am part of that Blue Zone culture who has been promoting healthy, plant-based diet for more than 150 years. I made the change myself 15 years ago from a standard American diet to a healthy, whole-foods, plant-based diet and love to help others make that life changing decision to eat healthy and give their own families something better
