Bindi's book did a good job of explaining the advantages ofa plant-based diet. Long ago, I stopped eating frozen foodsor foods out of a can. The plant-based diet does slim peopledown to a lower weight. Cholesterol stats improve. Bloodpressure may improve depending upon stress levels,diverticulitis levels and the amount of weight lost.Coping with arthritis may improve but calcifications don'tgo away without extensive surgery if such a thing is evenpossible. Osteotomy surgeries are complicated and manyphysicians are hesitant to recommend them due to possibilitiesof equilibrium problems down the road.The author advises plant based dieters not to eat meat or pork.This is good advice because plant-based diets do containquite a bit of nutrients-especially foods like Okinawa seaweed,bok choy and chia seeds.Overall, Bindi's book is an excellent resource for dieterseverywhere. Generally speaking, any diet should be combinedwith exercise and stress management to be optimallyeffective.
