The Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle – The Positive Effects on the Body
Its not easy to understand how or why the positive impact of a healthy lifestyle can have on us because we become habitually accustomed to the what we know and how we have been living however long that may be it does not matter. Usually our lifestyles are a result of learned behaviour taught to us from parents, school, family and friends etc. Its only when life becomes a challenge to us either through weight gain, weight loss or through ill health caused by lifestyle that we realise we have a problem and need to change.
Change is not something that is easy, it takes time, effort and education, our habits are so ingrained within us that we find it really difficult to make the initial steps, or we start only fall back into out comfort zone where we know what we know. A good way to start and make solid step is to get help from a qualified nutritionist who will help identify the weaknesses, the challenge and help formulate real goals for long lasting lifestyle change.
Diet, what we eat, and drink daily overtime plays such a crucial role in our makeup, what we look like and how we feel. Switching to a Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle (WFPBL) away from the lifestyle we have become accustom to is not easy but the benefits are huge if you are willing to put in the effort and persistence for real change. So, what benefits would you expect to see from making the switch, below are just a few
