I have watch the Gamechangers documentary in Netflix and I can say this has changed my mind. It debunked a lot of beliefs about eating meat. It also exposes how the script and beliefs about eating meat was established. But what I liked the most are the benefits of a plant based diet. I looked for the reviews of the book How Not to Die and it delivers the same lessons. Here are the benefits of following plant based diet:
- Optimal Fuel
Plant based diet provides you the glycogen, fuel for your body and glucose, the fuel for your brain. These can be found on unrefined carbohydrates like oats, sweet potatoes and banana.
- Increased Blood Flow
Animal based meal thickens our blood and cripple our arteries. In effect, there is like a traffic jam in our blood flow. Plant based food keep our blood flowing easily.
In the movie, they have shown a quick experiment on athletes that ate animal based meal and plant based meal. After each meal, one group of athletes had a blood tests while the other group of athletes have an overnight monitoring of their private parts. The effects of plant based meals are way better. You better watch the movie.
- Improved muscle efficiency
There are athletes not just athletes but top performing athletes who gave testimonials on the effect of plant based diet in their career. They experienced better performance. They also experienced faster recovery and lesser and faster inflammation.
