Investing in a whole food plant based diet
Every year we start of with new and exciting changes and challenges. This year i also started with my own challenge, one that can change my whole life and one that i can be proud off, by following a whole food plant based diet.
I don't like the word diet. Diet is a short term goal. I have never given any thought to any diets before in my life. I have been blessed with good genes, so I always ate what ever i like whenever i like. (and being tall and active helps a lot). A whole food plant based diet, is not just one of the so many diets out there, it is a life style, and a good, healthy life style.
Unfortunatly we get older and we get surrounded by sick people always on medications. I started doing my own research to prevent being one of those people always on chronic medication. My whole life i have been struggling with sinuses, hi-fever and food allergies, and by cutting out some foods i could see how my life have improved, so im sure it will prevent and heal other types of illnesses, just by monitoring what we put in our mouths.
I have adopted this type of healthy lifestyle and it is going well. Im not as tired after school anymore and don't need my 9 hours sleep. I also got my partner into my new style of living and he is just as excited as i am. We still have a long way to go and lots to learn, but i know this is the answer for a long healthy life for us, our enviroment and all animals.
Converting to this type of life style, got lots of people talking. Everyone suddenly are experts on food nutrition. We will be nutrition deficient and unhealthy, but when i was eating animal products, prossesed and sweetened foods nobody cared. It is a bit frustrating to argue with people that do not bother to educate themselfs. I urge everyone to go and start doing the research, and try to incorporate this type of lifestyle. You not only doing this for you, but for your enviroment and all living animals on this planet.
My next post will be on plant and animal protein, cause this is the first thing everyone always look at and ask "how will u get all your protein on a plant based diet?"
