Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a joyous Christmas. I thought I would share the article below listing many benefits of easting a plant rich diet like we have discussed in class. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Happy New Year!

People can get caught up in the details of paleo, ketogenic and gluten-free diets, but one of the most buzzworthy eating styles at the moment is also super simple. It’s the plant-based diet—one that places less emphasis on animal-based foods and more on dishes derived from the plant kingdom.

What you put at the end of your fork is more powerful medicine than anything you will find at the bottom of a pill bottle. Food is the most powerful medicine available to heal chronic disease, which will account for over 50 million deaths and cost the global economy $47 trillion by 2030. ⁣
⁣
All you need to do is eat your medicine—this is why I like to think of the grocery store as your pharmacy.⁣
⁣
Food is the most powerful drug on the planet. It can improve the expression of thousands of genes, balance dozens of hormones, optimize tens of thousands of protein networks, reduce inflammation, and optimize your microbiome (gut flora) with every single bite. ⁣
⁣
It can cure most chronic diseases; it works faster, better, and cheaper than most drugs; and the only side effects are good ones—prevention, reversal, and even treatment of disease, not to mention vibrant optimal health. ⁣

What will you choose to eat today?⁣

FYI: 1 Kilogram (kg) is equal to 2.2046226218 pounds (lbs). To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply the kilogram value by 2.2046226218.

If you’re pumping iron to build muscle, be sure to have plenty of protein on your plates. A study in The Journal of Nutrition found that a daily protein intake equaling 2 grams per kilogram of body weight maximized lean body mass anabolism (i.e., muscle growth) in seven resistance-trained men (ages 21–27). So if the goal is to increase muscle mass, a 170-pound person could benefit from eating up to 154 g of protein. That’s in the upper range of current protein guidelines for athletes.

**It’s yet to be determined whether women and older individuals need as much protein as the men in this study.

If you’re working with clients who are pumping iron to build muscle, be sure they have plenty of protein on their plates.
