THEBOTTOMLINE:A PLANT-BASED DIET IS NUTRIENT-RICH – AN ANIMAL ONE ISNUTRIENTSTRIPPED.
MEAT
ButthisbookisNOTaboutcuttingalltheanimalproductsout.It’spossibletobeflexibleand have that piece of meat if you want to while combining it with an antioxidant,nutrient-densesidedishorpudding.Butlet’sexplorethisalittlebitmore–inparticular,oxidation,freeradicalsandantioxidants.
The process of oxidation within the human body damages cells. When oxygen ismetabolisedinthebody,freeradicalsarecreated.Thesefreeradicalsstealelectronsfromother molecules, which in turn causes damage. In today’s day and age, we are beingbombarded with free radicals and this overload has been linked to a whole host ofdiseases.Oxidationgainsmomentumthroughstress,smoking,alcohol,pollutionandotherfactors including digestion. For example, when you eatmeat it causes the digestion toworkincrediblyhardtobreakdownthefood.Simplyput, it takesabout twiceas longtodigestmeatcomparedtoplant-basedfoods.
Modernsciencebelieves80percentormoreofthedamagetothebodyiscausedbyfreeradicals.Thisiswherethepowerofincorporatingmoreplant-basedsuperfoodsintoyourdietbecomesyoursuperhero.Eatingarangeofgreenleafyvegetables,fruits,wholegrains,legumesandotherveggiesprovidesyouwithaplethoraofantioxidants.Notonlydotheseantioxidantsneutralisefreeradicals,buttheyremovethefreeradicalsfromthecellswhichinturnwillpreventorreducethedamagecausedbyoxidation.
