Longevity Decoded: The Miracle Plant Based Diet That Can Save Your Life

People who eat a plant-based diet have significantly lower rates of obesity; in fact, the plant-based miracle diet is the single most effective way of losing weight and keeping it off. As previously mentioned, obesity is linked to many health problems, including heart and cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and high levels of stress. While in the 20th century and earlier most disease was due to starvation and malnourishment, obesity-related diseases are actually the product of a combination of overnutrition (too many calories) and malnutrition (not enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber). 

When fiber intake is increased and the body is getting (and absorbing) enough nutrients, the excess weight begins to melt off. With reduced levels of sugar, hormones such as insulin become stabilized. Hormonal diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, start to reverse. The wall of the gut begins to heal itself and the microbiome becomes healthy, causing problems such as autoimmune diseases and IBS to disappear without any medicinal intervention. The mood elevates, alleviating or even eliminating psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. Hardened arterial walls begin to soften, causing blood pressure to lower and thereby reducing the risk of stroke and other heart diseases. Without trans fats and bad cholesterol, arterial blockages are reduced and even eliminated, allowing for blood to flow freely throughout the body. 

In summary, the benefits of the plant-based diet simply cannot be overstated. One of its most immediate effects is that high levels of blood sugar and high blood pressure begin to drop and reach safe, stable levels. In addition, it allows the body to heal itself so that other diseases and health problems, such as high cholesterol, obesity, and autoimmune diseases, are able to resolve themselves.
