Beef, chicken, and fish all appear to have similar effects. But, an equivalent amount of plant protein causes virtually no noticeable stress on our kidneys.

It has given me a way to make a small contribution to the extremely worthy cause of evidence-based nutrition. I’m happy to have the opportunity to support a much-needed and trustworthy source of information. One favorite WFPB recipe is my breakfast smoothie. The ingredients have evolved (and snowballed!) over the years. I blend either kale or spinach with avocado, banana, walnuts, flaxseed, chia seed, green tea leaves, lemon zest, cinnamon, turmeric, a pinch of pepper, ginger, amla powder, and chlorella powder, along with any type of plant-based milk and ice cubes.” —Liz Gildred [Foods That Cause Inflammation]( [How to Increase Your Life Expectancy 12 to 14 Years]( What can physicians do to promote healthy, life-extending, lifestyle changes?
