WHAT IS HEALTH?

Within Nutritional Science there is a term known as Homeostasis, this is the Body's tendency to always work toward maintain a stable, functional equilibrium.

This careful balance is what we call Health
Remember the Body's Natural State is to be HEALTHY!

That's why Nutrition, viewed Holistically, is the crucial factor in Health. When we eat the right foods, our bodies naturally tend toward Homeostasis.

Rather than something that needs to be made or forced, health "just happens" in spite of, or more likely because of the inherent complexity of Body Chemistry.

Eat REAL FOODS to have NATURAL HEALTH

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR CALCIUM FROM?

You can definitely get enough Calcium on a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet.

Many people have been led to believe that Cow's Milk is a good source of Calcium, but if you think about it, where do the Cow's get their Calcium from? - FROM THE PLANTS!

Calcium is an essential nutrient for strengthening bones and teeth, helping blood to clot, and helping muscles to contact.

Good Plant Sources of Calcium include:
+ Tofu
+ Almonds
+ Chickpeas
+ Kale
+ Spring Greens
+ Figs
+ Oranges

Humans are naturally Starchivores...

Throughout Human History, as far back as we can see, the success of a Civilisation has been based upon the Food Supply - and that Food Supply has always been a STARCH

The Aztecs had Corn, Asia has its Rice, Western Europeans had the Potato, not to mention Romans with Barley, Africans with Sorghum and the Middle East with Oats.

The Human Body thrives off Starch.
Dr McDougall, author of the Starch Solution, recommends 70-90% of your Diet to be made up of Starch, with the rest being Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts & Seeds.

Find out more information on his website here, there's also an app - https://www.drmcdougall.com/

PS: Starchy Foods are the CHEAPEST in the Supermarket, so whoever says going Plant-based is expensive needs a reality check :D

Did you know that over 150 BILLION animals are killed every year for meat production?

Animals are sentient beings and have feelings and emotions just like we do. Following a plant based diet is the biggest change you can make to help eliminate the needless suffering of animals all over the world.

There's no denying the evidence - a plant based diet is one of the most important changes you can make to improve your health, protect the planet, and stand up for the animals that we share it with.

If you love animals like you say you do, let your actions reflect it :)

This looks a little complicated but it truly is fascinating.
The pH Balance of the Body is crucial to Health

Our Bodies prefer a slightly Alkaline pH but the Standard American Diet (SAD Diet) is so high in acidic foods and so low in alkaline ones, that it stresses the Body and can create an environment for Disease to thrive.

A Whole Foods Plant-based Diet helps to reduce inflammation and acidity often caused by a diet that is heavy in meat and dairy. This helps to promote healthy brain function, higher energy levels, an improved mood and glowing skin.

Try and eat 75% of your Diet from Alkaline-forming Foods and 25% from Acidic to create an equilibrium for the Body.

Why Play Games With Your Health?
Switching to a Plant-Based Diet Today can help you live a Longer and Healthier Life.

We can't help getting hit by a bus...but we can certainly give ourselves a better chance of being more aware of that Bus with a healthier Brain :D

A six year study of over 70,000 people by Loma Linda University showed that subjects who followed a meat free diet had a longer life expectancy and a 32% reduced risk of overall mortality.

Bottom line - Vegans live longer than Meat Eaters!

"Let Food Be Thy Medicine, And Medicine Be Thy Food" - Hippocrates

Did you know that a plant based diet has been shown to reduce your risk of developing many of the world’s most common diseases including Heart Disease, Coronary Artery
Disease, Diabetes, Colon Cancer, Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer?

Yet the majority of people would rather go to a doctor, be given pills that they have no idea what's inside or what they do, than simply change some aspects of their Diet.

I've known people to be super sceptical about what's in a freshly made Green Smoothie, but they happily take 6 different medications every day!!

Transitioning can be tough, but simply making a few small changes can have instant benefits to the way you feel.

MIND BLOWING FACT

If the world’s population ate as much meat per person as the UK, America and Australia - we would need FIVE NEW PLANETS the size of earth to sustain it!

In order to keep up with the world's demand for meat and animal products, over 80,000 acres of tropical Rain Forest is being destroyed EACH DAY.

Also it takes approximately 14000 Litres of water to produce just ONE KILOGRAM of beef. That’s enough drinking water for one person for nineteen years!!

BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION...
All of these problems can be fixed by switching to a plant based diet - Growing plants uses significantly less land, less fuel, and less water than growing animal products.

Just by giving up meat for ONE DAY is enough to save the equivalent daily water usage of 9 people!

By following a plant based diet we free up the valuable resources we need to feed the world and keep our planet alive.

As it stands a third of all farm land on the planet is used to grow food for factory farmed animals. These animals eat enough to feed 9 billion people, more than the entire world population.

Imagine how many problems we could solve if we stopped factory farming animals and used this land to grow food for people instead?

Think about it, make the change, go Vegan

TOP TIP WHEN CONSUMING CITRUS FRUITS

Citrus Fruits are an Antioxidant Powerhouse and are packed full of Vitamin C. Although Acidic in Nature, Citrus Fruits have an alkalizing effect on the Body when consumed.

If you´re not a fan of eating citrus fruits then Lemon Water is a great addition to any morning routine. It rehydrates the body and makes you feel fresh.

BUT, the initial acidity in the mouth can cause damage to the Enamel on your teeth so be sure to use it sparingly - Half a Lemon to 1 Litre of Water is sufficient.

My top tip is to swirl your mouth out with water after drinking but DO NOT brush your teeth as this can damage the already vulnerable Enamel even more.

THERE IS NO VEGAN AGENDA...

Instead there is people suddenly realising that the food they once ate, the food that they thought was healthy, the food that came from "happy animals" is not what it seems.

They realise the pain and suffering the animal goes through, they watch the videos of the slaughterhouse practices, they research the health implications of consuming too much animal protein and they learn the environmental costs to the Planet.

They know as compassionate people, as people who say they love animals and are against animal cruelty, that this can't continue to happen.

Naturally they feel angry, naturally they feel upset and hurt, and so naturally they want to tell the people they care about the most about this new information, their family and friends.

But CHANGE is hard, habits are difficult to break.
No one wants to listen, no one wants to be "preached to", no one wants the message "shoved down their throats". Maybe people aren't ready to be awoken yet, maybe some people like being asleep.

It then becomes a personal journey, one of focusing on yourself and being the best you can be. You realise you have to be the EXAMPLE, you have to be the change, you have to INSPIRE...

You Train, You Eat, You Learn, You Live

Then the people start to take notice, they start to ask questions, they see there might be more to this "Vegan Thing".

You realise if you can have a positive influence on just one person then you've made a difference and that's enough.

That's the Message I want to share :)
No More Preaching, Only Teaching
Spreading the Positive Plant Based Vibes

But where do you get your Protein from?
Won't you be Protein Deficient without eating Meat?

This is an age old question when discussing a Plant Based / Vegan Diet and its one I love answering :)

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Protein is a modest 0.6-0.8 Grams per Kilogram of Body Weight.
(The RDA is the amount of a nutrient you need to meet your basic nutritional requirements)

Let's say I am 72kg - that means to meet my daily requirements I need to consume 57.6g of Protein.

In one cup of Chickpeas (200g) alone, there is 39g of Protein!!

Trust me, as long as you are eating enough calories on a WFPB Diet, it's virtually impossible to be Protein Deficient
