Plant Based Eating
"After weighing the pros and cons of many diets, from low fat to high protein and everything in between I have come to believe a plant based diet... helps my patients achieve their health goals more effectively." ~ Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW BENEFITS OF PLANT BASED EATING!
You May Notice A Difference With Your Energy!
Processed foods and sugars deplete your energy. Processed foods provide calories and require the body to work to metabolize them, but they don't contribute to your daily nutritional needs very well.
Plant based foods are packed with anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. They help your body function in its every day duties as well as provide the tools to heal and re-balance.
When you eat a healthy, plant based diet you may notice your energy, stamina and mood improving!
You May Lower Your Risk Of Chronic Disease!
Because plants are full of nutrients, they help give your body the vitamins and minerals it needs to keep itself in balance. Deficiencies or insufficiencies can lead to very specific symptoms and disease states. Plants also provide fiber to aid the elimination of toxins, cholesterol and waste products, This reduces the body's toxic load and rick of disease.
Studies show that plant based diets reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, obesity and so many others.
You May Have Balanced Hormones!
The nutrients and poly phenols in plant based foods have many qualities. They reduce inflammation, promote detoxification and balance hormones. Balanced hormones mean that women can eliminate painful cramps and PMS. These plant foods gently re-balance the hormones that contribute to women's health - their cycle and even libido.
Studies show that eating a plant based diet promotes healthy ovulation and reduces your risk of endometriosis, fibroids and PCOS.
