Читать книгу BOSH! Healthy Vegan - Henry Firth - Страница 10

Your parents always told you to eat your greens, and they were right! Eating more plants is a sure-fire way to turbocharge your wellness: most plants are absolutely jam-packed with phytochemicals which have various positive benefits for the body, from offering anti-oxidising properties, to providing vital vitamins and minerals, and supporting good gut health.

You may also find, as we did, that the higher fibre intake and a reduction of what are thought to be inflammatory foods characterised by eating vegan leaves you with better digestion and a healthier gut.

The easiest way to maximise nutrition on a plant-based diet is to remember to ‘eat the rainbow’ (we talk more about this on here). It’s also best to avoid over-processed foods as much as possible. Get a variety of colours, flavours, textures and spices into your diet on a daily basis: aim for your plates of food to be beautifully colourful.
