What are some of the health benefits of a plant-based diet?
Personally speaking, although many of these benefits are documented, here’s some the benefits I’ve experienced: Increased energy. Regular bowel movements. Clear, brighter, firmer skin. Stronger, shinier nails and hair. Weight loss and easy weight maintenance without calorie counting. Lower BMI (body mass index). No more indigestion, upset stomachs, heartburn/acid reflux. Increased clarity of mind and immunity (get sick less frequently than before). Increased confidence, because it feels good to be alive! Prevention of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and certain types of cancer (such as breast and prostate cancer). Some of the benefits of a plant-based diet can be found in greater detail in The China Study as well as other books and scientific literature. It sounds like you think a vegan diet is the ultimate panacea. Diet is but one component of wellness. Sleep, moderate daily exercise, positive relationships, stress/energy manangement and a strong spirit
