Research on plant-based diet has been going on for many years by now. When I was turning vegan, I started digging more and more into this diet and wanted to know more. I came to know that our centuries old generation, were highly dependent on plant-based diet and they were in much better shape. Later, humans started cooking with the discovery of fire and that’s how the trend of cooking meat in slow heat came into being. Centuries later, humans added varieties of spices to make their food delicious. So today, I thought of sharing some of those world renowned doctors who feel plant-based diet can be the game-changer for all of us.
1. Neal Barnard:
Dr. Meal Barnard is one of the most popular plant-based doctor who is not just world renowned but also a board certified psychiatrist too.
