Did you know that summer is the perfect time to rejuvenate your eating habits with seasonal, plant-based foods? As you enjoy longer days and warmer weather, transitioning to this kind of diet (even temporarily) not only taps into the nutritional abundance that summer brings but it can also shift and brighten up your mood, brain function, and how your whole body feels every day.
When temperatures rise, your body craves lighter, water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables. This is nature's way of ensuring you stay hydrated and can digest easily. These foods can also lower cholesterol, reduce BMI, decrease A1C, lower blood pressure, and give a super boost to so many anti-aging benefits. These benefits ultimately increase your happiness factor and is the reason many find summer a happier time of the year. I know I do !
Most of my clients maintain a semi-healthy diet but often find that even small changes during pivotal times of the year can lead to BIG improvements long term. Eating more plants is a win no matter what “diet” you follow so incorporating more of them during this season is a great way to go.
Is protein from plants enough?
A common question clients ask: "Will I get enough protein from plants?" The simple answer is Absolutely! Plants can provide all the protein you need, but depending on your body, health history, and what your body, mind, and health need right now, finding the right balance and formula is critical. Taking dietary advice from the internet without understanding your specific needs can lead to nutritional imbalances and decreased health outcomes. This is where personalized guidance makes a world of difference.
