Did you know that there really isn’t a reason for you to take supplements if you are nourishing your body at the cellular level with real foods? By real foods I mean plant based…foods that come from nature and not processed (full of chemicals, additives and artificial ingredients).
Here are 5 Great Reasons to Make the Switch
1. Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation in your body comes from eating unprocessed foods and animal products both of which have a negative effect on creating a more sluggish system overall…a system that slows blood flow and promotes disease. Cutting out MSG, sugar, meats and alcohol will help to reduce inflammation!
2. Weight-loss
Eating plant based nutrient dense foods allow the cells of your body to be fed and not starved of valuable nutrition. Eating a diet high in processed foods and animal products starves the cells creating an ongoing feeling of hunger and overall weight gain. A plant based diet fuelled with veggies, beans, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, lentils will accelerate your weight loss and keep you feeling satisfied. There are so many great recipes you can dive into! Check out my 7 Day Clean Eating Meal Plan for some ideas!
3. Clarity
Getting all the right nutrients from foods can completely transform your mental fog into a clear, productive mind. Plant foods such as nuts, oats and seeds that contain magnesium help to calm anxiety, detoxify and boost your overall mood.
4. Better for the Environment!
Our carbon footprint from emissions created through the slaughtering of animals for our consumption is putting our planet in peril. If you aren’t convinced click here.
5. Lessen your Chance of Dis-Ease in the Body
The chance of getting Heart disease, cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis can all be eliminated or reduced by what we are allowing to enter into our systems. I’m not saying you have to be perfect by any stretch, but the more you can ingest a diet high in fruits and vegetables, nuts, beans, and lean meats (or no meat) the less risk you will face in terms of disease.
