Whole Food Plant-Based
Living - Prescription for a Healthy Future
By Jeanne Schumacher. We have the power to prevent and
reverse many chronic diseases, and to be healthier and happier than we ever
imagined possible. A whole food plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle is the key! A WFPB lifestyle aims to maximize consumption
of nutrient-dense plant foods while minimizing processed foods, oils, and
animal products. It encourages lots of vegetables (cooked or raw), fruits,
beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, seeds and nuts (in small amounts) and is
generally low in fat. Research shows that plant-based diets are a
cost-effective, low-risk intervention that may lower blood pressure, HbA1C, and
cholesterol levels as well as increase weight loss and reverse many chronic
diseases (diabetes II, high blood pressure, heart disease, certain cancers and
autoimmune diseases) as well as reduce the number of medications needed to
treat chronic diseases and lower heart disease mortality rates.
