Because so many of us are confused about nutrition, I don't think people realize the just how POWERFUL food can be. There are so many studies out there, (Nutritionfacts.org is a plethora of evidence based information) showing that food can be more POWERFUL than medication. Yes, that is a true statement!
For instance, did you know ground flaxseed can bring down blood pressure more effectively than blood pressure medication? So many people just don't know this. Unfortunately, no one has the ability to become rich promoting flaxseeds, but pharmaceutical companies become extremely rich promoting pills. Of course, with the pills come a laundry list of side effects. With flaxseeds, not only will your blood pressure come down, but you will be getting Omega 3's, they are rich in nutrients, help lower cholesterol, high in fiber, have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, are a high-quality protein, lower blood sugar and helps to keep hunger at bay. That little flax seed has the power to do all that!!
Because so many of us are just not educated in nutrition, (that includes physicians, they only get approximately 2-4 HOURS of nutritional education), we just don't have this knowledge. Our physicians are trained to DIAGNOSE a DISEASE and prescribe a medication for the symptoms. Unfortunately, this is not "curing" anything.
Don't get me wrong, we absolutely need antibiotics to kill bacterial infections, (bacterial, not viruses), as untreated bacterial infections can become serious. However, the chronic diseases we have in this country, i.e., high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, acid reflux, etc., medications prescribed do NOT CURE ANYTHING. The medication will MANAGE the symptoms, but that's about it.
I believe we need to get to the ROOT of the problem and FIX IT--get rid of it. As science proves to us, this can absolutely be accomplished with a PLANT BASED DIET. The food we put on our plates has the potential to give us the HEALTH we all so richly deserve.
To learn HOW to transition over to a more plant-based diet, jump on board! Our 30 Day Challenge will begin on February 1st. All you have to do is come to this website for all the information, instructions and recipes you will need.
It's so simple it doesn't sound like it will "work", but for every person I have worked with, this way of eating never failed!
The only side effect from this--WEIGHT LOSS.....
