"Boosting your health is easier than you think -- everything that's good for you can be made more delicious with a smoothie. America is facing a health crisis -- and it's not the one making the headlines. Over the past decade, there's been a sharp rise in the number of people developing chronic health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. But the shocking truth is that it could have been stopped in its tracks. The CDC estimates that lifestyle changes can ward off over 80% of all heart disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes cases. And that's where a plant-based diet comes in. With stars as diverse as Lizzo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Miley Cyrus hopping on the vegan bandwagon, it's clear that this is more than a celebrity craze: this is a trend that's here to stay, and for good reason. In fact, the areas of the world with the highest life expectancies (the so-called 'blue zones') follow a largely plant-based diet. The arguments are compelling, but many people are put off by the thought of learning a whole new way of cooking and navigating complex recipes and unfamiliar ingredients. Are you one of them? You're not alone -- a survey showed that 80% of respondents said they thought transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle would be too complicated to even attempt. But there's one powerful weapon that can help you in your quest to become healthier: a blender. A blender is your answer to taking the hassle out of plant-based living.
