A new book by Professor Luigi Fontana with recipes from Healthy Longevity Chef Marzio Lanzini at the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Center (CPC) has set out a medical science-backed plan for eating more plant-based meals to enhance overall health and longevity.
Plant Power is the first book to be published under the pair's collaboration at the CPC-RPA Healthy for Life program. It draws on Fontana's research into longevity and Lanzini's work in the culinary world to support the increasing number of people turning to plant-based eating, vegetarianism and veganism, with as many as 42% of Australians choosing to eat less meat or none at all.
"More people are moving away from meat-centric diets and incorporating more plant-based food, a trend that is not just about ethical choices but also about promoting better health and longevity," said Fontana.
