As our society evolves, we are constantly facing the need
to change our behaviors and habits to increase our health
and quality of life. We are now facing climate change, food
insecurity and over 40% of our population is suffering from
chronic disease.
One of the recent ideas put forward to improve our world
and health is the plant-based nutrition. Even though food
regiments are not something our doctor prescribes (yet),
research is showing that food has a lot to contribute to our
health. It is also a less costly option to our society than
prescribe medication.
Our understanding of plant-based eating may differ from
one individual to another. In the world of nutrition, plantbased eating is having a large portion of one’s nutrition
coming from vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, whole grains
and also include legumes or other plants.
A spectrum of plant-based nutrition options is available to
you. Some are very strict (vegan diet), others are still
adding animal products like dairy (vegetarian) and at the
other end of the spectrum are those that still eat meat,
poultry and fish on an occasional basis.
We once believed that early humans consumed a large
proportion of animal protein in their diet. It is from that
belief that, in the 2000s, the Paleo diet (mainly comprised
of animal protein) became really popular in the world of
nutrition and diet.
Although, we now know that the nutrition of bipedal
primates and Homo sapiens was primarily composed of
nuts, fruits, leaves, roots, seeds and water. In that case,
the “original” Paleo Diet was in fact plant-based eating.
It is also linked to the fact that some of the strongest
animals on Earth are not carnivores. The strongest
mammal is the gorilla (most are herbivores). It has the
ability to lift around 4409 lbs, that is 10 times its body
weight. It would be like a 200 lb individual lifting 2000 lb.
If other mammals can live a healthy and strong life on a
plant-based nutrition, we probably can too.
Whether you want to save the animals, become healthier
or simply feel better, the plant-based nutrition is a great
option for those of us who want to be a better and
healthier person.
Choosing a plant-based nutrition doesn’t have to be a
complex commitment. Not convinced yet? Here’s the 5
