Decrease Your Levels of Inflammation
According to a 2012 report from the National Institutes of Health, inflammation has been a well-known cause of many infectious diseases for years. However, molecular and epidemiological research increasingly suggests that it is also linked to a range of non-infectious diseases (diabetes, cancer, heart disease).
In addition to eating healthy, having a healthy mindset is also key to improving your well-being. At busy veganista, we are true believers in the power of positive thinking.
Dr. Corey Kirshner has written in his book The Whole Body Cure that eight of the top 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. can be directly linked to inflammation as the root cause. He says that scientific evidence shows that we can make positive, effective interventions at any point in the inflammation process. Veganista is here to help you make those changes via a healthier diet.
