Since The Game Changers Movie was released, there has been a steady stream of people calling me who want to get healthy. My mission is to provide enough information so that they can create small goals and continue building on them. Educating people to slowly adjust from familiar flavors, to new Whole Food Plant Based meals so they can be successful is my goal. But they have to be serious. 🙂
Today I received from a friend a link to a Chinese Newspaper that has run several articles on the “Vegan” diet. Plant Based lifestyles are taking the world by storm. It is interesting to the note that the start of my journey began by reading “The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell. Although it was written in 2004, it is even more relevant today. https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3044826/forks-over-knives-game-changers-meat-family-5-inspiring
Polyphenols are antioxidants that kill free radicals in the blood. Free Radicals are unpaired electrons in the blood that seek out other electrons to pair with, and cause cellular damage. Polyphenols are said to prevent cancer and strengthen the immune system. They can be found in abundance in “Super Foods” like colorful fruits and vegetables. They are also found in cereals, dry legumes, chocolate, red wine, and spices. So eat your fruit and vegetables.
Today I met with a group that will help me start up a Pilot Podcast. The mission is to better communicate my healthy lifestyle to others, and to improve their lifestyle. The Podcast will give us the opportunity in a live format to listen to guest speakers, and get different opinions. The Podcast will increase our awareness and understanding on the many ways to incorporate Whole Food Plant Based meals with physical fitness.
There is a lot of talk about the benefits of Canabidiol (CBD). It is said to have a calming effect, and stabilize high energy levels. Per the research, the effects vary from person to person. I will continue to study the use and benefits of CBD and will keep you posted.
