- The document discusses the health benefits of a plant-based diet. It argues that our ancient ancestors ate mostly fruits, nuts, roots, and greens rather than the modern staples of grains, legumes, meat, and dairy.
- While grains and legumes provide calories, our genetics have not fully adapted to digesting them, as shown by issues like lactose intolerance in adults and problems digesting proteins in wheat. Fermenting and soaking grains and legumes can improve digestibility.
- Adopting eating practices closer to our ancestors', such as incorporating more raw and fermented foods, can help address modern health issues related to diet and allow people to experience the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

6. Purpose Of Writing This Book
My main purpose to write this book is to help people learn about plant based diet. In this
book you will learn about basic things that you need to know about plant based diet. Also in
the end section of this book I have shared some easy to cook plant based diet recipes for
you. I want you to go through this book by yourself and I am sure if you follow all the
instructions and tips sincerely then you will be able to overcome so many health problems
and you will stay long and healthy.
7. The Real Story Of Food And Health
Today is the time when such people are much concerned about their health. Earlier a
hundred years ago were the time when we don't even know what vitamins were, and lots
of "doctors" suggested that vegetables should only be eaten by those who could not afford
higher caloric foods. People are unaware of the actual fact that there are substances that
exist in our foods that are harmful, healthful, or neutral counting on dietary eating, combos,
and individual genetics. There’s such a good variety of things that are concerned with diet
that nobody will analyze quickly and confirm the "perfect diet".
Determining the correct diet is kind of tough and it’s a heap much of to do with health. To
eat a natural and normal diet, is going to be expensive and in some cases it also needs time
investment. Only by creating changes in your diet and by experimenting you can't confirm
that diet is correct for you. Improved diet will improve your entire body and outlook. Most
of the people might never know their real potential without adopting ancient diet practices
and experiencing the benefits. The many of you recognize, the larger the benefits you'll
receive.
It is forever sensible and easy to be told what our ancestors, usually ate and the way they
ready their food. It’s also necessary to know that every sub-population and individual has
genetic variability. So, it’s necessary to keep an open mind, experiment, and follow your
instincts to make a better individual diet for yourself. Eating raw and fermented food also
minimizes cooking and eating them.
8. Many centuries ago farm, grains, and beans (legumes) where an insignificant a part of our
diet. However the Adoption of those foods allowed a massive new source of calories,
however, our genetics couldn't absolutely adapt. A standard example is the indisputable
fact that most adults are unable to digest milk's lactose. Similar issues exist with grains and
legumes. Issues with protein digestion in wheat or maybe the best-documented example.
Hem agglutinins in beans are just like the protein in grains. Essentially, these substances in
grains and legumes are a natural defense. An animal that's not tailored or grub an excessive
amount of those food sources can have their systems clogged and blood flow weakened
within the capillaries. Such obstructive incorporates a comparatively unstudied result of
nutrient and gas flow to tissue just like the brain. Ancient ways like ontogenesis,
fermentation, or soaking helped improve the digestion of farm, grains, and legumes. Sadly,
these ways are seldom followed in trendy large-scale food preparation.
There is such a big amount of variables and interactions that are concerned any food
source that it becomes not possible to work out the semi permanent effects of one food for
a given person. Our ancestors had an awfully totally different food diet system (fruit, nuts,
roots, meat, and greens) as compared to our current staples (grains, legumes, meat, and
dairy). For nearly all of human history, most foods were also eaten raw or processed
through fermentation or low heat cooking when necessary. By experimenting with these
ancient practices, we are able to begin to beat endemic food-related health issues that are
accepted as inescapable for millennia. Hopefully this info can help you in learning about
proper food diet and enjoying the healthy living.
