5 Benefits You Will Gain by Adopting a Plant-Based Diet
Most people who adopt the plant-based diet will be doing so for health reasons. They may want to reduce their consumption of meat and processed foods while increasing their intake of fruit and vegetables.
A plant-based diet is not as rigid or strict as a vegetarian or vegan diet. That makes it easier to comply with and there is some room to maneuver when you have cravings for meat, etc.
However, for the most part, the majority of your food portions will be plant-based. After a few weeks, you'll start noticing several positive changes in your health. Let's look at these benefits.
1. Weight loss
It's inevitable that you'll lose weight. Since vegetables are high in fiber, they'll take up more space in your stomach and stop you from overeating. Ideally, you should eat all the vegetables on your plate first, before starting on the other foods.
This will give your stomach time to register that it's full. You should also strive to reduce your consumption of processed foods.
2. Improved digestion
Vegetables are high in fiber and will 'clean' out your system. You'll need to drink lots of water to help the vegetables remove the wastes that have been clogging up your digestive tract.
Once your digestion improves, your gut health will improve. This will immediately make you feel better. Your gut health has a direct impact on your overall sense of wellbeing.
3. Detoxify your body
The vegetables and fruit you consume are rich in antioxidants and micronutrients. When you switch to a plant-based diet, your intake of meat will decrease considerably, and along with that, so will your intake of harmful toxins that are usually found in meat.
Now your body will not only have less toxins entering the system, but the foods you eat are helping your body to heal. This two-pronged approach will help detox your body and leave you feeling healthier.
4. Reduced inflammation
This is a big one. Many people who suffer from aches, pains, chronic conditions, etc. will notice that their problems are mitigated when they adopt a plant-based diet. A clean diet will positively impact ANY health condition.
If the aches and pains are caused by inflammation, the vegetables and fruit will help to alkalize your blood and reduce the inflammation. Your pain will disappear, mobility will be easier and you'll have more energy.
Even if you're suffering from chronic conditions that can't be cured by a plant-based diet, you'll still feel better because the anti-inflammatory nature of plant foods will help heal your body.
5. Lowered cholesterol levels
Since high cholesterol levels are caused by the body's reaction to inflammation, when you reduce inflammation, your bad cholesterol levels will gradually decrease too. The plant-based diet is one of the best ways to reduce your cholesterol level and it's far more effective than statins.
Your risk of cancer, strokes, heart disease and other dangerous illnesses will greatly decrease too. A plant-based diet not only makes your body a clean and healthier 'home' for you to live in, but it also acts as a sentry at the gate which prevents nasty diseases from taking control of your body.
These 5 benefits are good enough reason for anyone to try the plant-based diet.
