If you’re seeking a dramatic improvement in your diabetes status, the evidence is in: a natural, unrefined plant-based diet will deliver!
Prevention and treatment
Observational studies consistently show people who eat any type of plant-based diet have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. And for those who already have this lifestyle-induced condition, several clinical studies have found that a 100 per cent plant-based diet is more effective for its management compared to the diabetic diets typically recommended by health authorities.
How it works
It isn’t just about going meat-free, as not all plant-based diets are created equal. Research suggests you may reap the greatest rewards by avoiding meats, dairy and eggs (or strictly limiting these foods), and also choosing whole plant foods. The degree of benefit is proportional to the dietary changes made.
You can expect these benefits from a completely plant-based diet compared to an omnivore diabetic diet:
It isn’t so tough
While most health care professionals have not previously recommended 100 per cent plant-based diets, thinking these too extreme or difficult to stick to, studies have now demonstrated that adherence rates are actually similar or even better compared to other diabetic diets.
So you have nothing to lose and much to gain. Give plant-based diets a go starting today!
