Plant Proteins: A Gateway to Healthy & Fit Life

There is no fixed set of rules of living a healthy life and makes you free from various ailments and illness. Though it has certain guidelines and health regime which if one follows with high level of dedication then gets benefited to a great extent.

The first and the foremost thing is feeding your body in right manner (at regular interval) and with right diet. The healthier (rich in various necessary nutrients) the diet, the healthier is the mind and body of the people in general. The proteins are the important nutrient of a diet and helps in building muscles and flexes of a body. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and they are so called “Building Blocks” of life. We get proteins from two sources viz. Plant proteins and Animal Proteins. The Animal proteins(Eggs, chickens, meats etc.) have richer contents of proteins value in comparison to Plant Proteins but it has larger impact on the body in the long run and causes many diseases viz. degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, kidney stones, gallstones, depression etc. So it is advisable to make red meat (beef, pork, lamb) only an occasional part of your diet and not more than 2-3-ounces in a week  and skip the processed foods bacon, hot dogs, and deli meats, since that is linked even more strongly to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes risk.

The Plant Proteins are available in various foods of plant origin which are as follows: (Soya beans, Chickpeas brown and green, Red Kidney beans, Corn, Oats etc.), dry foods (viz. Almond, Apricot, Cashew nuts, Walnuts, Peanuts etc.). It is advisable to use such foods in raw

and sprouted forms as far as possible in as many as small dishes such as salads, sandwiches, pizzas, burgers etc. In this way, benefits can be maximized with lesser effort. Moreover, plant proteins are easily digestible and have lesser side effects in comparison to animal proteins and hence advisable to make larger use in one’s diet. The proteins available in green leafy vegetables have a greater positive impact on the body and have lesser strains on the body to digest them. Substituting animal proteins with soya proteins, such as Edamame, tofu and soy milk, can help reduce bad cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol levels. Soya is an excellent source of plant- based proteins that can benefit those concerned about their and bone health, as well as their breast and prostate health.

Two research finding shows how one can be benefitted exponentially if went for the plant protein rich diets:

People who started eating more red meat than usual were found to have a 50% increased risk of developing type 2 Diabetes during the next four years.

Researchers also found that those who reduced red meat consumption lowered their type 2 diabetes risk by 14% over a 10-year follow-up period.

It has been observed that Vegetarian people have lesser mood swings as compared to Non-Vegetarian people. So, the choice is yours.
