: Plants Can Save Your Life
Health News Update: Plants Can Save Your Life 7.14.25
Hello everyone: I am working to give you information that you can easily put into your daily life that can massively improve your health and wellness, as well as speed recovery and promote prevention. Because inflammation can cause, aggravate, and/or perpetuate every known human ailment (including aging), my goal is to empower us all towards our best life by managing our inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biology. Because food is foundational to health, it is important to know what the best dietary approach to health is, and currently the data is all pointing to plants…the only source of phytonutrients adequate to upgrade your health.
“Phenolic compounds including phenolic acids, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins are widely distributed in plants as a protective mechanism against biotic and abiotic stresses. Fruits, vegetables, grains, spices and herbs are the richest source of dietary polyphenols. High intake of these foods has been linked to lowered risk of most common degenerative and chronic diseases that are known to be caused by oxidative stress. This review intends to summarize briefly recent progress on the chemistry and biochemistry of dietary polyphenols, their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of their involvement in inflammation mediated metabolic diseases are also discussed.”

Bottom Line: Be sure to eat lots of a lot of different plant-based foods. Make it an integral part of your day and personal health plan. Read what the science says that can lead us all to make the best choices when it comes to fueling our body, our Temple, our only home. We all have nothing to lose and everything to gain by being smart about what we choose to consume day in and day out. Shoot for 90% of your food to be from unprocessed, whole-foods, plant-based sources and watch your health improve.
“Dietary polyphenols are one of the most important groups of natural antioxidants and chemo preventive agents found in human diets including fruits, vegetables, grains, tea, essential oils and their derived foods and beverages. Epidemiological, clinical and nutritional studies strongly support the evidence that dietary phenolic compounds enhance human health by lowering risk and preventing the onset of degenerative diseases including cancers, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders.”
If you want to be really impressed, and super informed, at the bottom of the paper take a look at the references…click on a few and read the beginning introductions/abstracts…this should help convince you that our present day Standard American Diet is truly S.A.D and empower your shift to a predominantly plant-based lifestyle.
Friendly-tip: to make the upgrade to a predominantly plant-based whole-foods plan and to make it easy, start with one meal per week…then move to 3 meals per week, then one per day…or just start with breakfast or lunch…think about and focus on what you can add to your daily food intake…that makes it easier to know what to avoid.
