David Chiropractic, LLC Shares 5 Amazing Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet

Considering a plant-based diet? This type of eating plan is growing in popularity--and for good reason. A plant-based diet includes lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, including meat, eggs, and dairy. But don't worry if you're not ready to take the plunge into a vegan diet yet! You can still get many of the health benefits by reducing the meat and dairy you consume.

Nutritional Counseling

Here at David Chiropractic LLC in Sebastian, Florida, we offer more than just chiropractic care. We also provide our patients with nutritional counseling, taking a holistic approach to health and wellness. We believe in functional medicine--finding out the cause of your health problems, rather than just treating the symptoms. Below are 5 amazing benefits of a plant-based diet.

1. A Healthier Heart

Your heart is vital to good health. Eating a plant-based diet can help protect your heart from coronary artery disease and the build-up of plaque in your heart's arteries.

2. Lower Blood Pressure

One in every three adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension--a condition associated with kidney disease, heart failure, and stroke. Several studies have found that eating a plant-based diet helps with hypertension prevention and treatment.

3. Weight Loss

A plant-based diet could help you lose a few pounds. A 2017 study published in the Journal of Geriatric Cardiology found that eating a plant-based diet reduces body mass index (BMI) and helps with weight loss.

4. Lower Cholesterol

If you're like more than 102 million Americans, you may have high cholesterol. This can lead to serious health concerns, such as heart disease and stroke. A recently published review found that plant-based diets are closely associated with lower cholesterol.

5. Less Risk for Diabetes

An estimated 100 million Americans now have diabetes or prediabetes. Scientific research shows that plant-based diets can reduce your risk for this serious health concern.
