This type of diet is centred around consuming unprocessed and minimally processed plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This dietary pattern has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve health outcomes, and promote a more sustainable food system.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One of the most significant benefits of a whole food plant-based diet is its impact on chronic disease. Studies have shown that this type of diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. For example, a large meta-analysis found that a plant-based diet was associated with a lower risk of heart disease and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. This is likely due to the high intake of fibre, antioxidants, and phytochemicals in plant-based diets, which have been shown to have protective effects against chronic disease.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">In addition to reducing the risk of chronic disease, a whole food plant-based diet can also improve health outcomes. This is because it is typically low in saturated fat and high in fibre</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, vitamins, and minerals. As a result, individuals following a plant-based diet are often at a lower risk of obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. They are also more likely to have improved gut health, better bone health, and a stronger immune system.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">A whole food plant-based diet also has numerous benefits for the environment. This is because plant-based diets typically require fewer resources to produce, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced land use, and less water consumption. Additionally, a shift towards a more plant-based diet could help to reduce deforestation, since a significant portion of deforestation is driven by the production of animal-based foods.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">In conclusion, a whole food plant-based diet has numerous benefits for both individuals and society. It has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic disease, improve health outcomes, and promote a more sustainable food system. By consuming a diet centred</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> around unprocessed and minimally processed plant foods, individuals can take an important step towards improving their health and the health of the planet</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">References</span></p><ol style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; counter-reset: item 0; display: flex; flex-direction: column; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 1.25em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">"Achievement of health improvement objectives through diet and lifestyle: A systematic review" - This study, published in the journal "Frontiers in Nutrition" in 2020, aimed to assess the impact of diet and lifestyle on various health outcomes, including heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

That’s why Chef AJ recommends making 50 percent of your meals non starchy veggies. Her favorites are Brussels sprouts and zucchini. For the other half of the plate, fill it with whole foods that will satisfy your hunger, such as grains, legumes, and/or starchy veggies.</span></div>

Yet despite the science being very clear, there remains confusion about the impact on human health.<br />
<br />
We have long known for example, that a diet centred around whole plant-foods – fruits, vegetables, whole-grains, beans, nuts and seeds – significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and certain cancers. In fact, a low fat plant-based diet is the only diet to have been shown to actually reverse established coronary artery disease. It has also been seen to reverse type 2 diabetes, enable effective and sustained weight loss without portion control or exercise, and arrest the progression of early stage prostate cancer.<br />
<br />
Here are five additional benefits of a plant-based diet that may surprise you.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Improves mental health and wellbeing</b><br />
Diet choices can have a major impact on mood and mental health, and there is a very good reason for this. Diet affects the health of our gut bacteria, which produce many of the hormones active in the brain. Gut bacteria thrive on fibre, which is only found in whole plant foods. So it is no surprise to find that a plant-based diet can benefit mental health.<br />
<br />
In one US study conducted at a large insurance company, participants who were overweight or had a history of type 2 diabetes were either prescribed a low-fat vegan diet or asked to continue their usual diet for 18 weeks. The results showed a significant improvement in mental health, wellbeing and work productivity in those on the vegan diet, as well as lower levels of depression and anxiety.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Reduces arthritic pain</b><br />
Osteoarthritis, the painful breakdown of cartilage in the joints, appears to be an inevitable consequence of ageing. It is not reversible but it is manageable, usually with pain medication and sometimes surgery.<br />
<br />
So what role could a plant-based diet play here? One small study looking at the diet’s impact showed a significant improvement in self-reported pain and functioning in people with osteoarthritis. One reason for this could be the anti-inflammatory properties of the micro-nutrients present in plant foods, as inflammation is the main cause of pain in arthritis. Meat-based diets have the opposite effect and, in general, increase the level of inflammation in the body.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Improves period pain in women</b><br />
So if a plant-based diet can improve arthritis pain, could it also perhaps improve other types of pain? Some research suggests it could help with period pain in women.<br />
<br />
For this study, women swapped to a low-fat vegan diet for two menstrual cycles, and then back to their usual omnivorous diet for their next two. Pain duration and intensity and pre-mentrual symptoms were recorded and levels of a hormone affecting oestrogen levels were measured.<br />
<br />
On the low-fat vegan diet, women reported less pain duration and intensity, shorter duration of premenstrual symptoms and tests showed a lower level of oestrogen. People are often surprised to hear that diet can impact hormone levels in the body. This study shows exactly that, and how lower oestrogen levels can benefit women’s health in a number of ways.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Reduces the risk of urinary tract infections</b><br />
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common causes of infection in the general population with the bacteria Escherichia coli (E coli) often being the culprit. Infection can occur because E coli from the intestine finds its way into the urinary tract. But UTIs can also be caused by E coli strains commonly found in farm animals such as chickens and pigs, so eating contaminated sources of meat can lead to infection.<br />
<br />
Given the link between E coli and UTIs, It might seem obvious that those on a plant-based diet who avoid meat might have a lower risk of infection, but whether this was the case was not known for sure until recent research came out.<br />
<br />
The analysis of several studies shows that vegetarians have a 16% lower risk of UTIs compared to non-vegetarians. This confirms previous data suggesting that meat-bourne bacteria are a major contributor to the risk of UTIs. Increasingly these food borne bacteria are displaying antibiotic resistance.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Saves on hospital costs</b><br />
So if those following a health plant-based diet have a lower risk of ill health then surely this will save on health costs.In a large Taiwanese study, vegetarians were found to have a lower rate of outpatient visits, which translated into a 13% lower outpatient expenditure and a 15% lower total medical expenditure. So it is interesting to hypothesise the health economic impact of a plant-based diet on the UK’s cash-strapped National Health Service.<br />
<br />
In 2017, spending on healthcare in the UK totalled £197 billion – approximately £2,989 per person. If everyone in the country shifted to a vegetarian diet, this could (using the 15% reduction as a guide) reduce healthcare expenditure by £30 billion.<br />
<br />
Plant-based diets then, not only have the potential to dramatically improve human and planetary health, but could have significant benefits for the health of the economy too.tardis3http://www.blogger.com/profile/01784468559560964190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22661153.post-24587379780253312582019-12-07T15:26:00.000+11:002020-01-22T09:15:25.890+11:00How PCRM Changed the World in 2019<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">We are shocked and appalled by the <a href="https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/news/new-advice-from-the-heart-foundation-on-meat-dairy-and-eggs">new Heart Foundation dietary advice</a>. The direction that nutrition has taken in Australia is a human health and environmental</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #666666; display: inline; font-family: inherit;">disaster. The Heart Foundation adds fuel to the high animal product/low carb ideology that has been endorsed by CSIRO and embraced by health practitioners and the public. Other nations have not followed this trend. The American Heart Association recommends restricting high fat dairy foods and Canada has removed the dairy foods group from its dietary guidelines.</span></span></div>
<div class="mtm _5pco" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-testid="post_message" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px;">
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_5d5dd122edf023472684295" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Heart Foundation has released new position statements on ‘Heart Healthy Eating’ – high fat dairy foods are back, and eggs are no longer restricted to one per day. There is a caveat that this does not apply to people with heart disease, diabetes or high cholesterol. That could be almost everyone: it’s Malcolm’s clinical (GP) experience that most of his patients have cholesterol levels above the safe range unless they are plant-based or already on medication for high cholesterol, and most adult Australians have significant undiagnosed artery disease.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are some odd conclusions in the Heart Foundation documents – egg consumption increases the risk of diabetes (by 68%) and the subsequent risk of heart disease, but eggs are apparently ok until they give you diabetes.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It would be a monumental task to go through the new Heart Foundation position statements and evidence reports and to deconstruct the ‘evidence’ they used to conclude that eating high fat animal products is heart healthy. The reports acknowledged that a fair bit of the ‘evidence’ came from food industry funded studies and we have previously observed that the influence of research funding goes well beyond that which is declared. <a href="https://youtu.be/THnhrVNQPvU?fbclid=IwAR1-L1sd8-UXCdxlHfix-Dyx4vWoodYrrBOrbGwXsO5H0a1NhLC-Nj46ROY">Dr McDougall</a> has said that we have the truth but they have the money.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Heart Foundation experts do not seem to have discovered <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1109400">TMAO</a>, a new and powerful heart risk factor, which was a ground-breaking discovery in 2013, and has been supported by many further studies including a recent Australian study which found high TMAO levels in people on Paleo diets. TMAO in the blood comes from the action of gut microbes on the carnitine in red meat and the choline in eggs and other animal products. People on long term plant-based diets do not produce TMAO. An inconvenient truth for meat and eggs? A low-fat whole food plant-based diet is the only one – published in the peer reviewed literature – showing reversal of heart disease. Whilst the Heart Foundation does recommend eating plenty of vegetables, fruits and wholegrains, they should have foreseen that their position statements would generate media headlines such as ‘eat more cheese’ which would be happily taken up by the general public who “love to hear good news about their bad habits”.</span></div>

defensive as when you tell them what to eat. many conversations about
veganism find their way to this point: The statement that you can’t tell
people what to eat because it’s their personal choice. This often comes
in the adage: “I respect your choice to be vegan, you should respect my
right not to be.” But when our right to make our own dietary choice
begins to infringe upon the rights of others, whose rights take
priority?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span id="more-1245"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You see, what we choose to eat has a huge impact on the world in a number of ways, including <a href="http://bitesizevegan.org/12-you-cannot-be-a-non-vegan-environmentalist-environmental-impact-of-diet.html" target="_blank" title="You CANNOT Be a Non-Vegan Environmentalist!!! (Environmental Impact of Diet)">environmentally</a>, <a href="http://bitesizevegan.org/vegan-nugget-4-why-vegan-world-hunger-national-debt-your-colon.html" target="_blank" title="Can Veganism Solve World Hunger? National Debt? Your Colon?">socially</a>, and <a href="http://bitesizevegan.org/vegan-nugget-3-why-vegan-morality.html" target="_blank" title="The Morality Behind Being Vegan">morally</a>.
The animal products industry is the most environmentally devastating
force on the planet. Our choice to eat meat, dairy and eggs impacts
more than just our stomachs: It tears down forests, uses insane
quantities of water, creates massive pollution, and diverts over 80
percent of the world’s crops to livestock. Crops that could otherwise
easily feed the world’s hungry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So while respecting your choice to eat animal products may seem
important from a personal freedom standpoint, what about respecting the
environment and the future generations who have to live in the wake of
our destruction? What about respecting the people who <a href="http://bitesizevegan.org/vegan-nugget-4-why-vegan-world-hunger-national-debt-your-colon.html" target="_blank" title="Can Veganism Solve World Hunger? National Debt? Your Colon?">can’t put food in their stomachs</a> because your right to eat animal products took precedence?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This may seem like an indirect effect of dietary choice but the links
of the chain are clear when you look for them. The way we live today
removes us so severely from the origin of our food and the impact that
it has. We walk into a grocery store and grab something, or swing
through the drive through without a second thought as to where the food
came from, whom it came from, and at what cost.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We speak of personal choice and respect while animals are tortured
and killed at the hands of our appetites. So I will say this: If your
choice is to eat animal products, then you should be aware of what those
choices really entail. I’d urge you to watch the footage in the video
above. If you find you cannot watch, then I’d ask you the question: If
it’s not good enough for your eyes, why is it good enough for your
stomach? If you can't stand to see it or talk about it, how can you
stand to eat it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Which rights are more valid: Our right to eat dairy or a mother cow’s
right to not have her child torn from her side and sent to slaughter?
When you choose to eat dairy, you support the veal industry. You
sentence a mother cow to a lifetime of forced pregnancies, endless
milkings and infections, all culminating in her body giving out twenty
years before her natural lifespan and her being sent to slaughter for
cheap meats.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you choose to eat eggs, your right to your breakfast comes at
the cost of countless lives: Male layer chicks are ground up alive as
they are of no use to the egg industry. Layer hens are kept in cramped
sheds on top of one another even in so-called <a href="http://bitesizevegan.org/vegan-nugget-7-humane-free-range-cruelty-free.html" target="_blank" title="The Humane Myth & BS of “Cruelty-Free”">cage free and free range</a> facilities. their sensitive beaks are cut off without anesthetics.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When you choose to eat meat, you are literally putting your right to
choose above another’s right to live. You may say, “but these are just
animals.” I ask you to look into their eyes and tell me. Is that not
fear? Do they not suffer? They know what is coming when they walk up
the chute to slaughter. They hear the noises. They smell the blood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is important that we begin to live as though we are interconnected
with each other, the animals, and the planet. Because we are. My
choices for what goes inside my body affect more than just me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I’m not saying personal rights aren’t important. In fact, that’s the
opposite of what I’m saying. But my right to choose ends where
another’s nose begins. Just as my rights do not extend to me being
legally allowed to beat someone up, so to should my right to choose what
I eat not extend to choices which devastate the environment, take food

Please have a listen and feel free to pass it on to everyone you know. This is a message that many people need to hear. As you know I rarely share my personal information online (like my photo) but this time I am going out of my comfort zone in the hope that I can help someone who needs it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It only goes for about 1 hour.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For those that don't know, a whole foods plant based (WFPB) diet is based on whole or minimally processed whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits. It excludes animal-based foods, including fish and dairy, and also highly processed foods such as oils (that means no olive oil or coconut oil).</span><br />

Since there are many myths about fish being healthful, I want to share Ms. MacLeod’s column on bad fats and fish:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Healthy Hollywood is still reeling over the idea that fish might not be the best thing for your diet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After years of eating and loving fish, I was in shock when vegan guru and author of “Power Foods For The Brain,” Dr. Neal Barnard, compared fish to a “low tar cigarette.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My love of fish just went up in smoke!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Healthy Hollywood met up with Dr. Barnard at the “Nutrition and Brain” summit held recently in Washington, D.C. where I was having breakfast with him and chatting about my favorite subject - “healthy/healing” nutrition. Then, his head-spinning proclamation about fish suddenly capsized my appetite for all things from sea.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Many people have gotten the idea they should be eating fish and fish you could say maybe a better choice than beef. Fish is somewhat lower in fat, depending on how it’s prepared, and the fats are more of the goods fats, which are the omega-3’s, but and this is a big ‘BUT’…,” exclaimed Dr. Barnard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Barnard favors a vegan/plant-based diet in order to achieve optimal health and decrease one’s risk for dementia. But, even Dr. Oz, was shocked when Dr. Barnard declared fish a diet don’t on his show back in March 2013. “As group, people who eat fish have more weight problems and have a higher risk of diabetes, compared with people who skip animal products altogether,” he declared to Healthy Hollywood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition, all that hype about good fats in fish, like salmon, is another bottom-feeder, according to Dr. Barnard, who goes on to explain that 40% of salmon is fat and that 70 to 80% of that fat is not good for us. “Most of the fat in fish is not omega-3’s and it doesn’t do your body any good.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Or, does it do any good for your waistline. “Every gram of fat is 9 calories. And, you don’t have to do a lot of math before you realize I’m not going to lose any weight if I’m eating salmon. Doctors will say that’s the point, ‘it is fatty fish’ and you want the fish for the good fat, but what they’re not realizing is only a tiny fraction of it is good fish. So, I wouldn’t go there,” explain Dr. Barnard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides, the bad fat, fish can also be toxic, with dangerous levels of mercury and other pollutants, adding, “Keep in mind where fish are from. They live in what has become a kind of human sewer – the oceans and waterways.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, whether you take Dr. Barnard’s bait is up to you, but he insists it’s good to keep the dialogue going on our food system and keep in mind we are what we eat.</span><br />
