Why switching to plant-based protein is your best health move this 2022
MANILA, Philippines — As we continue to set out living our lives in the new normal, let’s not forget that our physical and mental health remains irreplaceable and that we should take care of ourselves more than ever. The many ways we deal with the virus is of course a given, what with masking and general hygiene drilled into our daily practices.
Another concrete way to protect ourselves and our families with lasting effects is by adopting better eating habits, as these directly influence our health.
In this regard, there’s a bevy of ways to spruce things up. You might not consider it yet but plant-based foods are actually an awesome and delicious choice. More than being beneficial for your health, these are also good for the planet, your taste buds and your pocket, too!
If you want to make sure that going plant-based is the right path for you, here are several reasons to get you convinced.
1. It helps strengthen the mind and body
Going plant-based keeps the nasties at bay! Based on clinical trials, those who eat plant-based food are less likely to get heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and certain cancers.
Apart from being a good source of protein, plant-based protein diet is also rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals, all working in sync to get you to that “glow up” you deserve. What’s more, these nutrients and antioxidants you get from this diet even protect the brain from free radicals and oxidative stress.
2. It offers guilt-free options
Today’s plant-based food options aren’t just nutrient-dense, they also contain no cholesterol nor trans-fat. They’re scrumptious and guilt-free, opening up more delicious ways to enjoy.
Too busy to put together a meal just in time? Ready-to-cook options are available on the market.
3. It’s also affordable!
These days, plant-based living isn’t just for the few, as more people are recognizing the quality and affordability of plant-based products.
This paved the way for more variety so that even restaurants like Shakey’s, Army Navy and convenience stores like 7-11 now have plant-based options available to the public!
4. It’s greener, for the planet-conscious
Who knew that adopting a plant-based protein diet could even be beneficial for the planet?
Going plant-based protein helps reduce overall environmental impact, considering the amount of greenhouse gases from livestock agriculture and meat production as opposed to the production of plant-based products that has a significantly lower effect on the planet.
