LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --- Doctors at Lifesum, the leading global nutrition app that helps users improve baseline health through better eating, have unveiled how a Climatarian diet can improve health and save the planet by reducing your CO2 by 1.5 ton annually - plus fivefoods and daily hacks to lower your carbon footprint.

A Climatarian diet focuses on reducing the carbon footprint with plant-based, locally sourced produce.Food creates 20-30% of all global carbon emissions. A major component is also reducing animal food consumption, particularly beef, which contributes to higher emissions than plant foods (about 57% compared to 29%) and more than transportation globally.[1]

Increased carbon emissions are drastically changing our planet, including rising temperatures and sea levels, which contribute to more heat waves, drought, storms and wildfires. Not only does a Climatarian diet help the planet, but it can improve our health by preventing and even reversing disease.

"Meat, especially highly processed meat, has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disorders and certain cancers," [2]saidLifesum's Dr. Alona Pulde. "A Climatarian diet focused on whole plant-based foods, has been shown to reduce the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, autoimmune diseases and obesity, while increasing overall vitality, mental health and longevity. Some people even notice their skin clears of blemishes or acne - or just looks healthier and younger." [3]

Dr. Alona has unveiled the best Climatarian foods to make your diet more sustainable and reduce carbon emissions, many of which you probably have at home.

Dr. Alona Pulde offers some simple hacks to start a Climatarian diet. "Consider adding plant foods to every meal, changing breakfast to 100% plant-based or having plant-based weekends. In addition, try reducing the amount of processed and packaged foods to decrease carbon footprint of transportation. Buy just what you need to avoid food waste, and fill your freezer with leftovers to help reduce food waste and support healthy eating when you don't feel like cooking."

To help get you started on a Climatarian diet, Dr. Alona Pulde has created a 7-day beginner'smeal plan, which features delicious recipes, including kale pasta and chicken and bean patties with potato and broccoli mash. See here.

"A plant-based diet can literally help to save our planet," said Professor Mark Maslin, a climate-change scientist at University College London, and author of the best-selling book,How To Save Our Planet. "A standard western, meat-based diet produces 7.2 kgCO2e/day, a vegetarian diet produces 3.8 kgCO2e/day and a vegan diet produces 2.9 kgCO2e/day. By switching from a western standard meat-based diet to a Climatarian diet, you can reduce your CO2 by 1.5 ton annually."

Dr. Alona Pulde also suggests being mindful about the following everyday items, as they also contribute to increased carbon emissions and deforestation.
