The human body is a very complex organism that requires continuous maintenance to ensure its wellbeing.

Poor habits like a sedentary lifestyle are known to contribute to a lower quality-of-life, and may also have an effect on a person’s health – causing them to experience a wide variety of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity and more.

These can all affect a person’s ability to perform certain tasks, some of which are essential for a person’s day-to-day life.

The food we consume daily has a significant impact on the human body’s wellbeing and plays an essential role in numerous bodily functions.

It is not only the food we consume that affect our wellbeing, but also how we consume these foods.

Having to cook an entire meal for the family each night does not only take up a lot of time and effort, but also means a person is actually destroying many of the important nutrients found in the foods.

Research suggests that food start to lose essential vitamins, minerals, proteins and other important nutritional factors once they reach a heat level of 118 degree or higher.

Blenders, food dehydrators and many other tools can be used to make delicious raw food meals without losing a lot of important nutrients.

A review paper¹ by the Institute Pasteur de Lile in France explains that the food we eat has a considerable effect on the body’s intestinal microflora and, in turn, this can affect our metabolism, as well as effect the human body’s immune system in both positive and negative ways.

Furthermore, it has been found that poor diet habits can contribute to a poor immunity and metabolic issues, as well as contribute to obesity and higher levels of inflammation in the body.

Choosing healthier choices when it comes to preparing meals and having a snack can lead to a healthier overall digestive system, improved immune responses and a lower risk of obesity – all contributing to improved health and leading to longer life expectancy.

So What Is All This Talk About Plant-Based Nutrition ?

A lot of recent publications have started to turn their focus toward plant-based nutrition, but for some people, the idea of consuming plant-based foods in order to obtain all the nutrients their body requires for optimum wellbeing, a healthy metabolism, an immune system that is able to better protect a person’s body against pathogens and more.

Recent shifts to fast-foods, processed foods and, of course, foods that are sourced from animals are greatly contributing to the large number of chronic diseases² that are being diagnosed on a daily basis.

Processed foods in particular are often considered to be extremely harmful to the human body, contributing to³ higher levels of blood glucose, overconsumption and the intake of artificial ingredients that are usually not good for the body’s health.

Even red meat has been linked to many unpleasant health effects. Meat products, especially red meats, have been linked to harder blood vessels, health risks of the colon, reduced brain function and it causes a person to consume potentially harmful hormones⁴.

Plant-based nutrition usually offers a significant improvement in providing a person with numerous health benefits, and also causes a person to be at a reduced risk of developing the many health problems that are often experienced by those following a diet that includes processed foods, meats and other animal-derived products.

Why Switch To A Plant-Based Diet ?

A lot of people are considering to make the switch to a plant-based diet, but are still not sure whether or not it might be a good idea for them to make such a decision and whether they would be able to stick to their choice.

Fortunately, a lot of benefits can be gained from switching to a plant-based diet – these health benefits can provide a person with motivation to help them make the decision to take a step towards a healthier lifestyle that primarily utilises plant-based foods for supplementing their bodies with essential nutrients.

Let’s consider some important advantages that a plant-based diet has over other types of diets that may include meats and other animal-derived foods, as well as processed foods and refined sugars.

• One of the primary concerns amongst people considering to make the switch to a plant-based diet is that they may not obtain all the important nutrients their body needs from only consuming plant-based foods. Fortunately, numerous scientific studies have proven that those individuals who choose to stick to plant-based foods are still able to obtain the nutrients like protein, calcium, vitamin D, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids, which their body requires for optimal health⁵.

• Meat products have been associated with an increase in inflammation throughout the entire human body. In turn, inflammation is linked to many adverse health problems. A plant-based diet, however, does not cause inflammation, but rather possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce inflammation in the human body.

• Plant-based diets are high in fibre, an essential nutrient that the body requires for optimal digestive function. Higher levels of fibre intake in a diet have been linked to many health benefits, including normal bowel movements, lower cholesterol levels, improved blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of obesity⁶.

• A diet that is rich in plant-based foods also provide the human body with phytonutrients, natural chemicals that can only be found in plant sources. In plants, phytonutrients offer the plant protection against different types of threats. In the human body, phytonutrients helps to improve the functionality of the human body and also plays a role in preventing the development of different diseases.

• Switching to a diet that prioritises plant-based foods have been linked to lower blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for people who are at risk of diabetes. High blood sugar leads to insulin resistance, which is one step away from type 2 diabetes, a potentially deadly disease that can cause a large number of adverse effects in the body, including impairments in the immune system.

• Many raw plant-based foods have high levels of water; thus offering additional hydration to the human body. This is important because optimal hydration helps to improve the distribution of important nutrients in the body. Foods like raspberries, strawberries, watermelon, grapefruit and cantaloupe all contribute to better hydration.

• The consumption of unhealthy foods like those that have gone through numerous processes, as well as refined sugars and bad fats, are all linked to an increased risk of cancer. In turn, cancer can cause premature death, as well as many other complications in a person’s life. Instead, a plant-based diet fights against cancer and reduces the risk of being diagnosed with such a disease.

• When opting for a raw food diet, a person also gains the added benefit of being able to consume more natural plant-based enzymes. These enzymes are important for protecting the human body against the development of many chronic diseases that can have an adverse effect on the person’s quality-of-life.
