Welcome to what has been an unexpected journey for my wife and I that can transform not only your total health outlook but also your viewpoint on making meaningful life changes. As you consider purchasing this book, you are taking the first step towards a more vibrant, energized lifestyle. As you are getting older, you are entering a phase of life where every choice you make can have a profound impact on your well-being. Becoming plant-based or vegan is not just about changing your diet; it is about embracing a holistic approach to living that benefits your body, mind and overall attitude. The decision to adopt a plant-based lifestyle is a powerful one, filled with numerous advantages that can enhance your quality of life in ways you may not have imagined. One of the most compelling reasons to go plant-based or vegan is the multitude of health benefits it offers. As we age, our bodies are more susceptible to chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and numerous varieties of cancer. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, can significantly reduce your risk of these conditions. By eliminating animal products, you can lower your cholesterol levels, improve your blood pressure, and support a healthier heart. Moreover, a plant-based or vegan diet can help you maintain a healthy weight, boost your energy levels, and improve your digestive health. The abundance of fiber, vitamins, and minerals found in plant-based foods can also enhance your immune system, helping you feel stronger and more resilient. Change can be daunting, especially if you're like me, now almost 60 years old, when we all likely feel very set in our ways. My book can be your guide to a starting point, filled with what I think are inspiring results, and practical advice from my wife and I who have made the transition. It is meant to empower you and make your journey towards health-conscious lifestyle changes as smooth as possible. So, take a deep breath, open your mind, and embark on this transformative expedition. Here's to your health...
