Plant based longevity diet

It doesn’t matter what your health, age, or geographic location is. Those desiring to maintain good health must consider veganism. There are certain factors that make veganism absolutely essential.

Vegans have much lower cholesterol levels than meat eaters and heart disease is uncommon among vegans. The reasons are not hard to find. Diabetes and obesity are a rarity among vegans. Vegans also take very little if any prescription drugs as vegans avoid food that encourages disease while eating food that encourages health and well being…

Vegan meals are typically low in saturated fat and usually contain little or no cholesterol. Since cholesterol is found only in animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs, vegans consume a cholesterol-free diet.

The type of protein in a vegan diet may be another important advantage. Many studies show that replacing animal protein with plant protein lowers blood cholesterol levels-even if the amount and type of fat in the diet stays the same. Those studies show that a low-fat, vegan diet has a clear advantage over other diets.

An impressive number of studies, dating back to the early 1920s, show that vegans have a lower blood pressure than non-vegans. In fact, some studies have shown that adding meat to a vegan diet raises blood pressure levels rapidly and significantly. The effects of a vegan diet occur in addition to the benefits of reducing the sodium content of the diet. When patients with high blood pressure begin a vegan diet, many are able to eliminate their need for medication.

The latest studies on diabetes show that a diet high in complex carbohydrates (which are found only in plant foods) and low in fat is the best dietary prescription for controlling diabetes. Since diabetics are at high risk for heart disease, avoiding fat and cholesterol is the most important goal of the diabetic diet, and a vegan diet is ideal. Although all insulin-dependent diabetics need to take insulin, plant-based diets can help to reduce insulin needs.

A vegan diet helps prevent cancer. Studies of vegans show that death rates from cancer are only about one-half to three-quarters of those of the general population. Breast cancer rates are dramatically lower in countries where diets are typically plant-based. When people from those countries adopt a Western, meat-based diet, their rates of breast cancer soar.

Vegans also have significantly less colon cancer than meat eaters. Meat consumption is more closely associated with colon cancer than any other dietary factor. A plant-based diet is primarily fiber-rich whereas meat and dairy has no fiber which compacts the colon…

Why do vegan diets help protect against cancer? First, they are lower in fat and higher in fiber than meat-based diets. But there are other important factors also. For example, vegans usually consume more of the plant pigment beta-carotene. This might help to explain why vegans have less lung cancer. Also, at least one study has shown that natural sugars in dairy products may raise the risk of ovarian cancer in some women. Some of the anti-cancer aspects of a vegetarian diet cannot yet be explained. For example, researchers are not quite sure why vegans have more of certain white blood cells, called “natural killer cells,” which are able to seek out and destroy cancer cells.

Vegans are less likely to form kidney stones and gallstones. In addition, vegans may also be at lower risk for osteoporosis because they eat little or no animal protein. A high intake of animal protein encourages the loss of calcium from the bones. Replacing animal products with plant foods reduces the amount of calcium loss. This may help to explain why people who live in countries where the diet is typically plant-based have little osteoporosis even when calcium intake is low.

Vegans are healthier by a long shot. We cut our risk of major diseases by at least half, in some cases altogether. I have been a Vegan for most of my life and I have never had any symptoms of high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. I have never taken a prescription drug or had the need to see a doctor.

Meat and dairy have no fiber, it is a dead animal and lacks healing and healthy nutrition. Whereas live foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, seeds, and nuts are bursting with healing nutrients and vitamins that build pristine health. I know that I feel amazing every day, I can feel live foods in my body creating a healthy platform for a quality of life that only Vegans can experience.

It is so simple to understand why veganism is the fountain of youth. There are thousands of controlled studies that prove this. I am confused about

why people embrace life-threatening diseases and jeopardize their health substantially by eating meat, dairy, processed foods and drink alcohol

and smoke. Only two percent of the entire population are vegans and half

of that number are vegans that eat unhealthily… Without question Russian Roulette is dangerous. No one I know will play that game which

certainly will kill you… So, why do more than 98% of the population metaphorically play Russia Roulette every day of their lives by sabotaging their health?

I am constantly being told that my diet is “extreme, radical and abnormal.” My reply back to them is “cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, chemotherapy, and prescription drugs are radical, extreme and abnormal.” My next door neighbor complimented me on my willpower. I had to laugh – I told her “that is like complimenting me on not being a murderer.”

Thank you Doug for this great piece of info ….
