Last week, again, we provided you with knowledge that is worth a minute of your time to be empowered to make informed decisions so you can take proactive steps to make a significant difference in your health. We stated that we are not a vegan advocacy team. Instead, we advocate a diet of primarily natural, unprocessed food. We said that because we also admit to the benefits of a whole-food and plant-based diet. A while back, we wrote a Blog on the historical diets of geographical centers of centenarians https://slendersolutions.co.za/general/how-to-be-a-centenarian-calorie-restricted-diets-impact-on-lifespan/ So what do we mean by natural, unprocessed food. Consider the following historically longest-living populations: The Okinawans mostly eat starch, the Eskimos mostly protein, and the Masai African tribe mostly drink cow blood and milk. What is the commonality, this diet or that diet? No! It is natural, unprocessed food.

.We often use Facebook and our Blog to provide you with knowledge so you can make healthier, informed decisions; it is worth a minute of your time as your informed decisions and proactive steps can make a significant difference in your health. We are not a vegan advocacy team. Instead, we advocate a diet of primarily natural, unprocessed food. I said that because we also do not ignore the fact that “The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention” publishes more and more articles on the benefits of a whole-food and plant-based diet. Dr. Michael Greger has been publishing about the benefits of improving autoimmune inflammatory diseases by advocating an increase in whole plant food density of their diet—meaning they ate more whole grains, whole fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans, split peas, chickpeas, and lentils), nuts, and seeds. Unsurprisingly, researchers also found improved blood sugar control. So, what about type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease we didn’t think we could do anything about? (Sometimes called juvenile diabetes due to the frequency of childhood diagnoses) The potential for reversing the course of type 1 diabetes by reducing that autoimmune inflammation through a healthy diet is a promising area of research

Spending time in a natural environment elicits increased physical activity and well-being. Apart from promoting physical activity, are there added health benefits of exposure to natural environments? Just being exposed to sunlight can treat things like seasonal affective disorder and provide vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. It is well-established that exercise outdoors boosts Dopamine Release and enhances mental health. Are there any other inherent benefits? The only way to find out is to put it to the test. You don’t know until you try, and the potential health benefits of natural environments are undoubtedly worth exploring.
