“A Plant-Based Lifestyle For You And The Planet” will help you explore alternative ways of living, ones that are more healthful for the individual, and more beneficial to others, including planet Earth. It will educate readers on the basics of Nutrition, how dietary choices affect the human body for better or worse, how those choices affect unseen others in the developing nations, as well as the global issues we face today, including global warming, deforestation, rising waters and others. The book also explores how governments influence dietary choices, and who benefits from this manipulation, and it is not the consumer!
Today everyone is concerned with health, quality of life, and longevity. Old ways are not working, and it is becoming more obvious that a comprehensive new approach is necessary. No longer can we wait unit illness occurs or incorporate a nominal amount of exercise and supplements into our regime and consider the problem solved. What is needed is a new Lifestyle! And one that works!
Preventative medicine is a relatively new concept. Given the rising healthcare costs, and plethora of preventable illness, it has practical ramifications. Preventative medicine involves diet and exercise to prevent the more egregious and expensive maladies and for practical reasons and is beginning to have roots in modern medicine. Lifestyle Medicine has begun to emerge as an alternative to conventional ways that are not working.
I think it is possible to go further than preventative medicine and lifestyle medicine to simply ‘lifestyle’ which encompasses all facets of living life. It is physical, mental and spiritual – mind, body, and soul! This concept has been around for many years and was considered ‘new age’. Although its roots may have been on the fringe, it is finally becoming a main-stream concept. Doctors may refer to it as ‘Lifestyle Medicine’, but I prefer to simply call it ‘Lifestyle’ since it is an all-encompassing healthy way to live life.
‘Lifestyle’ includes not only Diet and Exercise, but also Relaxation, Rejuvenation, Detox, Happiness, Kindness, Compassion, Courage, Humility, Gratitude and Honesty – and most importantly – Forgiveness. A toxic, unforgiving lifestyle can lead just as easily to disease and debilitation as any tangible cause. Happiness and kindness may not have monetary value or scientific studies to prove their worth, but I believe they contribute greatly to wholesomeness and longevity.
This book proposes to show you how you can live a fuller life, without the assortment of contemporary illness, dissatisfactions, and emptiness, a life that includes not just health, but happiness and purpose. One that is lived with courage and conviction, is meaningful and enjoyable and includes the satisfaction of knowing that your life makes a difference for many more besides yourself. It is called the Plant-Based (Vegan) Lifestyle.
The Plant-Based (Vegan) Lifestyle is about compassion. It is not just a diet. It is a Lifestyle that not only involves diet, exercise, and health. It is about making the world a better place, not only for people, but for the billions of other inhabitants we share this planet with. It is about providing simple solutions to complex global issues. Plant-based (vegan) is not a form of deprivation. It is a lifestyle which embraces life, and life lived to the fullest. This lifestyle holds the promise of a healthier population, a sustainable planet, and kindness and compassion for all.
In addition to the way we treat ourselves with diet, exercise, and proper values, it is all worthless unless we can project these values outward to the world around us. What I am suggesting is that we go beyond ourselves to create a better world. Yes, this involves the way we treat all our fellow travelers on spaceship Earth, as well as the way we treat the Earth herself. It is about not only what we eat, wear, use, etc., but how it was produced, and the political, corporate, and financial ramifications involved, as well as those who suffer or benefit from our decisions.
I hope you will find this book useful in your quest, and I wish you all good things in your new lifestyle!
“I have been treating patients with plant-based nutrition rather than medicines for more than 16 years now and I can vouch that plant-based nutrition restores health. This is our best insurance against this and future pandemics. Thank you, Sharon Wallenberg for an enlightening book to help anyone transition to a plant-based diet.”

"Thank you, Sharon, for giving me the opportunity to review your vegan book prior to publication. It was an honor and a privilege for me to do so. Prior to reading the draft of the book I was not a vegan enthusiast, and I knew next to nothing about its concepts and potential health benefit and advantages. Nor did I know about the horrible conditions that animals went through and experienced before and on their way to the slaughterhouse. Finally, I did not know about the horrendous living conditions of farmed chickens. After reading your book, I was enlightened on all of the above subjects and I got to thinking about becoming a vegan, myself. You presented your case quite well, and as a retired judge, I reviewed the evidence you presented, and I came to the conclusion that the positions you take in the book are valid and amply supported by the evidence. I strongly recommend your book to those who have an open mind and the ability to make their own conclusions, after reading and considering the evidence that you present.
