This healthy meal plan is not a diet, is a lifestyle that promote the anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating and hormone-balancing processes. It also adds in the lifestyle many additional healing benefits. It is based on eating mainly whole, unprocessed foods like fresh fruits and vegetables. Likewise, it encourages lean meats, nuts, and fish. Furthermore, it also discourages sugar, alcohol, processed oils, dairy products, legumes, grains and other high-carbohydrate foodstuffs that have only been introduced to human diets in recent history. The result is optimal health! Here are just a few health benefits you need to know about:
01 WEIGHT LOSS
Referring to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, the selection of food ingredients in this meal plan, showed reduced levels of CRP and IL-6. CRP is the body's main inflammatory marker, while IL-6 plays a key role in signalling weight gain, obesity, and metabolic disorders.
02 REDUCED INFLAMMATION
Overall inflammation also goes down, thanks to more balanced fats that replace dangerous trans fat. This is important because chronic inflammation has been linked to heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. My meal plan eliminates processed foods and encourages eating high-quality, nutrient dense items that our bodies were designed to consume. Foods included in this diet are more nutrient-dense than many other diets due to their high fiber content, which can increase your body's ability to release glucose into the bloodstream at a steady rate without peaks and valleys. This creates a sense of sustained energy throughout the day, rather than having periods where you feel restless and unable to focus.
03 INCREASED ENERGY
As mentioned earlier, because the diet eliminates foods that can irritate the gut, there is a decreased risk for digestive problems. More specifically, those who consume the ingredients presented in this meal plan, are more likely to have an increased frequency of bowel movements. With an increase in frequency comes an increase in frequency of food to bulk up faecal matter and stimulate contractions to move bowels. This can eliminate constipation as well as overall feelings of sluggishness due to sluggish digestion.
04 IMPROVED MOOD
This meal plan can improve your digestion. By following it, you are able to eliminate some irritating food groups from your life, like grains and sugars. With these foods taken out, it allows your body to heal and repair itself. Decreased bloating, a regular bowel movement, and better nutrient absorption are just some of the effects you will experience if you have a more healthy gut.
