I was inspired to write about side effects from a recent article by Dr. Mark Hyman regarding statin drugs. In the article he writes that, on top of many negative side effects, statin drugs have be shown to increase the levels of blood insulin. This increases a persons risk for diabetes. He writes about how lowering a persons cholesterol with lifestyle change also lowers blood insulin. I began to realize that we need to look at the side effects of a plant based diet. Here goes:
Blood insulin lowers,
cholesterol decreases
blood thins
inflammation resolves
eyesight improves
pulse rate slows
weight normalizes
sleep improves
skin gets clearer
nail and hair more shiny
breathing improves
snoring stops
brain gets clearer
mood becomes stable
hormones realign
no or less PMS symptoms
bowel movements regulate
teeth get stronger
breathe gets pleasant
less excess mucous throughout the body
sex drive increases
sex gets better and more intense
headaches reduce
ear ringing stops
liver functions better
exercise performance peaks
energy goes up
mood improves
you become nicer!
This is just a partial list of the SIDE EFFECTS from a plant based diet. Perhaps if when given the options between drugs and lifestyle change people could see the two different lists, the medication and lifestyle change. Then maybe they would stay clear of the meds and change their lifestyle. If they change their lifestyle...they change their life! There are almost no negative SIDE EFFECTS from eating a plant based diet.
A report came out yesterday that American women are in worse health then ever. Something needs to be done. Well, I've done my part. The above list are the side effects of eating well. You have been warned.
