How a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet<br />
Can Make Your <strong>Winter</strong> Wonderful<br />
The Whole Food Plant-Based diet is the ‘new kid on<br />
the block’, when it comes to eating. In the US, this<br />
wholesome way of eating has already found many<br />
followers, and it is renowned for the huge benefits<br />
it bestows on those who follow it. Proponents<br />
include leading medical doctors, scientists and<br />
cardiologists, who are prescribing this diet to their<br />
patients with staggeringly positive results.<br />
People who change their diet from the ‘standard<br />
Western’ diet to one of fresh, whole produce and<br />
complex starches and who exclude all processed<br />
foods and animal produce, find that they often lose<br />
weight rapidly, gain back their youthful energy,<br />
sleep better and even reverse heart disease.<br />
With the colder months approaching, most of us are<br />
bracing ourselves for a season of sniffles, lethargy,<br />
low mood and cravings for comfort foods. But it<br />
doesn’t have to be this way! I have seen amazing<br />
improvements in the health of people, who are<br />
adopting this way of eating, myself included.<br />
Before I changed my diet from ‘Health-Conscious<br />
Vegetarian’ to Whole-Food Plant Based, I was on<br />
regular migraine medication, and had been battling<br />
my weight for decades. I was able to control what I<br />
weighed only by constantly watching what I ate – as<br />
allied health practitioner and nutritional therapist, I<br />
thought I was doing all the right things.<br />
After being introduced to the Whole Food<br />
Plant-Based diet through a book by the wonderful<br />
Dr Neal Barnard of the Physician’s Committee for<br />
Responsible Medicine, I not only got to my ‘happy<br />
weight’, and am staying there effortlessly, but I was<br />
also able to discontinue my migraine medication,<br />
and am feeling fabulous all-round!<br />
So, if you are looking for a way to feel wonderful<br />
this winter, give the Whole Food Plant-Based way of<br />
eating a go. I can absolutely guarantee you that, if<br />
done properly, this way of giving your body<br />
premium nourishment, will see you less prone to<br />
infection, and put a bounce in your step, as you<br />
experience a surge of energy, and a happier mood.<br />
Now is the ideal time to ramp up your nutrition,<br />
ditch the processed rubbish, and love your <strong>Winter</strong>!<br />
