Do these goals seem like a fantasy or just plain
wishful thinking? Actually, many nutrition-oriented doctors have
learned through studies that lifestyle changes such as eating a
plant-based diet, exercising, and eliminating smoking can help you to
attain these goals over time.
Because whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables
are so high in complex carbohydrates, the body is supplied with plenty
of energizing fuel. You won't have to drag yourself out for a walk -
you'll be bursting out the door willingly. Exercise tones the muscles,
helps to maintain bone mass, and increases your levels of endorphins,
hormones that heighten your sense of pleasure.
Whole grains contain many of the B vitamins that
directly serve the nervous system. You may find yourself thinking more
clearly, concentrating with more ease, maintaining a sharper memory,
managing stress better, sleeping more soundly, and enjoying an overall
feeling of well being.
Certain foods have been beneficial in their ability to
lower blood pressure. Some grains, such as oats and barley, and many
varieties of beans are noted for their soluble fiber that has helped to
bring high blood pressure down to normal levels. The allium family that
includes onions and garlic is also said to lower blood pressure.
All plant foods contain valuable phytochemicals that
are known to protect the body from free-radical damage. Free radicals
are unstable oxygen molecules that damage our cells and are linked to a
number of debilitating diseases, such as cancer, coronary artery
disease, cataracts, and even aging.
Dean Ornish, M.D. and John McDougall, M.D. have seen
evidence in their medical practices that a strict vegan diet reverses
heart disease, lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, and brings
weight down naturally.
The overall benefits you'll derive from a vegan diet
come from the increased intake of vitamins and minerals that help to
strengthen the immune system, keep the bones strong, aid the digestion,
and bring excess weight down to normal.
The bonus benefit of a vegan diet is the ease of
kitchen clean-up after preparing a hearty meal. Unless you are using an
excess of cooking oils, plant-based foods are not naturally greasy, the
pots and pans will not be greasy, and the kitchen sink will not be
greasy.
Are these attainable goals? Absolutely, but don't take
our word for it. Try it and see for yourself. You have everything to
gain!
