<br/><br/>Unlocking the Power of Plants |5 Irrefutable<br/> Reasons to Embrace a Plant-Based Diet Today<br/><br/>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, and food insecurity and over 40% of our population is suffering from chronic disease.<br/><br/><br/><br/>One of the recent ideas put forward to improve our world and health is plant-based nutrition. Even though food regimens 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 prescribing medication.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Our understanding of plant-based eating may differ from one individual to another. In the world of nutrition, plant-based 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.<br/><br/><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/><br/><br/>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 popular in the world of nutrition and diet.<br/><br/><br/><br/>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 plant-based eating.<br/><br/><br/><br/>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 can lift around 4409 lbs, which is 10 times its body weight. It would be like a 200 lb individual lifting 2000 lb.<br/><br/><br/><br/>If other mammals can live a healthy and strong life on plant-based nutrition, we probably can too.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Whether you want to save the animals, become healthier, or simply feel better, plant-based nutrition is a great option for those of us who want to be a better and healthier person.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Choosing a plant-based nutrition doesn’t have to be a complex commitment. Not convinced yet? Here are the 5 reasons to start eating plant-based nutrition now:<br/><br/><br/><br/>Improve your health<br/><br/>In addition, an increased consumption of vegetables, grains, and beans will bring more fiber into your nutrition. It is recommended to consume from 25 g (women) to 38 g (men) of fiber daily. Unfortunately, we consume an average of 15 g daily.<br/><br/><br/><br/>That is not enough for most of us and can hurt the bowels and cause constipation or hemorrhoids.<br/><br/><br/><br/>According to research, an increased intake of fiber can also help prevent and reduce heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer. Fiber is also known to reduce the blood cholesterol levels. For most Ameri
