Considered Difficult - Actually Difficult
While changing our diet may seem like an extreme or difficult undertaking, it is wise to realize that the consequences of continuing to eat in unhealthy ways are truly far more difficult.
A whole food plant-based diet has been shown to be the healthiest way to eat. The science is clear on this.
Some may think that making a switch to eating only plants is radical or impossible.
But really, is it easier to languish in a hospital bed in misery, recovering from having major invasive surgery that involves cracking open a person's chest and installing unnatural grafts and stents and other patches after a painful and terrifying heart attack brought on by eating animals?
Or is it easier to simply eat some delicious and enjoyable vegetables, grains and fruits that are shown to minimize the risk of heart attacks and even reverse existing heart disease?
It takes very little effort, once the commitment is made, to learn to eat plant-based. It takes a lot of effort to monitor diabetes and manage a schedule of insulin injections, and then also deal with the horrible side effects, such as leg amputations and blindness, that still often occur with diabetic people who continue to eat animals. Diabetes can be prevented and often reversed simply by eating plants, not animals - that's how powerful a plant-based diet is. And so it is with many diseases. It makes more sense to cut the animals out of our diets than to cut off our feet due to diabetic neuropathy, when amputation is a common side effect from having diabetes.
It is so much more enjoyable to eat delicious plant-based meals than it is to lose bodily function and brain abilities if/when we suffer a stroke. It is great to be able to walk, run, play and move around pain-free as happens when we eat only plants, versus growing old with numerous aches, pains and crippling arthritis caused by chronic inflammation from eating animals.
The comparisons between what is easy and what is difficult go on and on, regarding each of the top diet-related diseases that kill millions of people, which can be avoided by simply switching a few things on our plates.
There is no downside, and the side effects of eating plant-based are all desirable! We can get everything we need to be healthy from plants. We need not eat animals.
