Benefits of a Plant Based Diet

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: Coach Gary

There is an obesity epidemic happening right now in the United States. About 35% of the population is currently obese. Unfortunately, that percentage is only going to get higher because the population shows no signs of changing their behavior anytime soon. Obesity leads to other health complications like heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Those are the big ones. There are a lot more health issues caused by obesity than these big four. Obesity affects everyone. Probably there isn't one single American who doesn't know someone who is overweight or obese.

We're a fat country for many different reasons. We don't exercise or move around. We sit all day behind a desk. We starve ourselves all day working then eat huge meals. Our meals are made up of animal meat and we wash it all down with a soda. Take all of these things together and the result isn't pretty, or healthy.

Fortunately, you can change your eating habits and return to a normal weight. You can be healthier and even live longer. Switching to a plant based diet is the key.

A plant based diet has many different benefits. Not all of the benefits are directly related to your health but they are benefits nonetheless. Let's take a look at some of the well known and not so well known benefits of a plant based diet.

A plant based diet will help you live 8 to 10 years longer. The biggest killers in the United States is heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Fortunately, a plant based diet can help prevent these health issues and even reverse some of them.

People who eat a lot of meat and foods with animal fat in them tend to have a higher rate of these issues:

1) high blood pressure
2) higher LDL (bad) cholesterol
3) lower HDL (good) cholesterol
4) higher total cholesterol
5) metabolic syndrome
6) higher triglycerides

These factors all contribute to a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke. By not eating animal fat foods and switching to a plant based diet, your health will improve and you could see a reversal of the conditions listed above.

If you currently suffer from heart disease or diabetes, or have suffered a stroke, when you switch to a plant based diet you can actually reverse the causes of these issues. Your arteries will open themselves up, inflammation will subside and you will feel a lot better, and live longer.

Cancer is another leading cause of death in the United States. It is caused by damaged cells. Eating a diet full of the fiber, vitamins and minerals found in plants will give your body the extra power it needs to heal damaged cells and even prevent some types of cancer.

Another big killer in the U.S. is stroke. A stroke happens when the arteries around the brain become clogged. The same plant based diet that will improve the condition of your arteries around your heart will do the same around your brain.

A plant based diet that is supplemented with whole grains is great for your health, even if you suffer or have suffered from any of the conditions listed above. You can reverse heart disease and prevent cancer and strokes by switching to a plant based diet. However, there are other compelling reasons to make the switch to eating healthier. Here are some of them.

Plant based diets give you more energy. Fruits and vegetables have lots of vitamins and minerals. They make you feel energized and fresh. No need for the caffeine in coffee or soda. You can get rid of those sources of unhealthy additives and chemicals.

Eating a diet based on plants will help you lose weight. If you are one of the 35% of obese Americans, a plant based diet will help you get rid of the extra weight in a healthy, controlled way. Listen, fad diets are not healthy. It's not good for your body to see-saw with weight. It's much better to have steady and healthy weight loss, like what you get with a plant based diet.

Going hand in hand with losing weight is that a plant based diet will help you emotionally. It can help reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety. If you switch to a plant based diet, the clouds around your head will begin to go away. If you currently suffer from either anxiety or depression (or both), a plant based diet will help you feel better.

Another benefits of a plant based diet is regularity. Each year Americans spend tons of money of laxatives and other medications to help them go to the bathroom. Cut the medicine. It isn't healthy. A plant based diet will help keep you regular and make sure the plumbing is clean.

Don't forget all of the innocent animals sent to slaughter just to fulfill our appetite for meat. There is no 'humane' way to kill an animal. I'm sorry. I don't care how many times you've heard that it can be done humanely. Switching to a plant based diet will reduce, if only a little, the demand for meat. Over the course of a year that may translate into several animals saved.

There's a another benefit of reducing the demand for meat. Believe it or not, our appetite for meat contributes 50% more greenhouse gases than planes, trains and trucks! Switching to a plant based diet will help reduce the strain on the environment.

Finally, you can save money by switching to a plant based diet. Beans, legumes and whole grains cost less than meat. You might lose some of those savings by buying organic produce but at least you're eating a lot healthier!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration agrees and has confirmed the many benefits of eating a plant based diet. Those who eat vegan or vegetarian have much lower incidence of health problems.

Making the switch to a plant based diet can be a bit difficult. After all, you've been eating meat for how many years? Don't try to switch cold turkey. Instead, try one day a week eating no meat. Later, try two days, then three until you've completed the switch. You'll have more energy, be happier and live longer!
