Health benefits of a whole food plant-based diet
Many of the positive changes of a whole food plant-based diet can occur after a short time. We were conviced when we felt the difference after only a few weeks! Some of the many improvements you may get from changing your diet are:
- More energy
- Weight loss without counting calories
- Better digestion (goodbye constipation and heartburn!)
- Clearer skin
- Stronger nails and hair
- Less /no more menstrual pain
- Improved wellbeing
- Reduction of inflammation levels in the blood
- Improved sleep
Scientifically proven benefits of a healthy diet
Many scientific studies have shown various health benefits from a healthy diet. Chronic diseases can be prevented, stopped or even reversed with a whole food plant-based diet! These include the following:
- Elevated cholesterol levels*
- High blood pressure*
- Overweight and obesity
- Type 2 diabetes*
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Risk of heart attack
- Risk of stroke
*Those who regularly take medications for chronic diseases/symptoms such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes must take note of the following:
A whole food plant-based diet usually leads to a drastic reduction in the dosage or even complete discontinuation of medications within a few weeks. These decision on dosage adjustments should never be made on your own, but always consulting with and under the supervision of medical professionals.
You can find out more about chronic diseases in our cookbook. In the first part Dr. Jeffrey Keller explains the results of some of the most important lifestyle medicine studies. The results are amazing!
Benefits of a vegan diet for animals and the environment
There ist more. A plant-based diet not only offers us humans great benefits, but also the planet and animals.
It is around 17 times more efficient to consume a plant calorie directly than to raise and feed an animal first and then eating it.
Eating a vegan diet reduces your carbon footprint, helps to preserve biodiversity and contributes to the prevention of antibiotic resistance.
