Your gut and skin are both important parts of the body's immune defense system, helping protect us from harmful substances while supporting overall health. Research into the gut-skin axis explores how the gut microbiome, inflammation, and our immune responses may influence skin conditions and overall well-being. 🥦✨

In our Skin Deep Health presentation, The Skin MD: Dr. Jessica Krant explores the science behind the gut-skin connection and how lifestyle interventions, including whole food, plant-based nutrition, can support our health from the inside out.

🌿 Can you support your body's natural collagen production on a plant-based diet?

Collagen plays an important role in skin structure, strength, and elasticity. While collagen itself is found naturally in animal products, your body needs a variety of nutrients to produce its own collagen. The good news? Many of these nutrients can be found in delicious plant-based foods! 🥦🥑

From broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and leafy greens to nuts, seeds, avocados, sweet potatoes, and bell peppers, a variety of whole plant foods can provide important nutrients that support collagen formation and overall skin health. Vitamin C, healthy fats, and antioxidants all play valuable roles in nourishing your body from the inside out.

In our “Skin Deep Health” presentation, dermatologist The Skin MD: Dr. Jessica Krant discusses how whole food, plant-based nutrition can support skin health and how you can nourish your body without relying on animal-derived supplements. ✨

At PPMNY, we celebrate nourishing and sustainable cuisines from around the globe.🌎🌱

Rather than asking our community to abandon beloved cultural dishes, we invite you to explore plant-based reinventions of these same traditional dishes — or dishes that started with plant foods in the first place.

Last month at “Your Neighbor’s Table”, our Climate Week event, we invited chefs to share these culinary creations with the public at LaGuardia Community College in LIC, Queens. Not only do these dishes uphold tradition while fostering our health — they also have a dramatically lighter environmental footprint compared to food sourced from animals. Plant foods use less land and water and have lower greenhouse gas emissions, among so many other benefits!

📕 We invite you to explore these dishes in your own kitchen. 👉 See our recipe booklet at: bit.ly/4d8jw94

💚 Thank you to all the chefs and educators who shared their culture, their passion, and their precious memories with us!

🌱We’re serving up plant-powered bites across NYC!

This month, Plant Powered Metro New York is bringing delicious whole food, plant-based dishes to NYC Health + Hospitals employees at benefits fairs hosted by MetroPlusHealth! 💚

With 12 sites participating, our teams are sharing flavorful samples and showing how nourishing, plant-powered meals can make a difference. The excitement has been incredible, with lines out the door and rave reviews for our Street Corn Pasta Salad. 🤩🌽

By mid-November, we’ll have served thousands of people across NYC. We’re thrilled to share the power of nutrition with our community, one delicious bite at a time.
