"Healthy Planet, Healthy You" Shares Simple Steps toward a More Earth-Friendly Way of Eating

DENVER, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In her new book, Healthy Planet, Healthy You, Ximena Yáñez Soto espouses that it is naïve to believe that governments and environmentalists alone can solve the planet's deteriorating condition. She writes, "We cannot keep waiting for others to change our planet's destiny. It's time to heed the warnings about the kind of future we are leaving for our children, to take them seriously and do everything within reach to reverse the deterioration from where we stand."

Yáñez Soto, whose first name is pronounced He-men-a, makes the point that every individual has an impact based on what they eat and that the small incremental steps she outlines that readers take will make a difference. She says, "The good news is that there is something we can do if we work together, if we organize ourselves into an army of millions who all make a small change at the same time. With enough knowledge, you can start to make these small changes in your daily life, and, if they are replicated, they'll have an exponential effect, just like ripples in the water."

Yáñez Soto spent more than 20 years as one of the heads of an environmental fund in Mexico before having an epiphany that led her to dedicate the next ten years to the study of nutrition. Healthy Planet, Healthy You was originally published in Spanish and contains 16 original plant-based recipes from internationally acclaimed chef Natalie Delgado.

In an interview, Yáñez Soto can discuss:

• What you can do to be healthier as you save the planet
• Facts about animal protein you should know
• Reasons why we continue repeating self-destructive patterns
• Nutritional myths we were told as children
• How the food industry keeps us addicted to their products
• The dream that changed her outlook
