An attempt at persuasion of older people: You have the power to reclaim your health through diet

Do you have grandchildren? They want you around for the longest time possible. You may have health problems that seem to just get worse with time, but changing your food program can make a tremendous difference. It is not punishingly bland-it is the opposite. There are wide varieties which you can even craft new ones yourself and be fully satiated and happy, like I am after a huge plate of whole wheat pasta and black beans with cayenne pepper and garlic powder.

You have that power inside of you to conquer this goal: I know it. I had doubt at first, in myself. I still have many doubts. It is an uphill battle at first, and there will be failures, but you have the will when you think of your children and your grand-kids. Also, think of your friends and the world. You can still make a great difference.

You have been misled that pills are the only part of the answer, and acceptance of slow progression of many types of disease is necessary.

It is not.

You have the power!

With a carefully planned and fully satiating selection of foods you will discover, you will gain new lease on life. It’s a feeling like when you were young and could spring through a field. The power and exhilaration! That’s worth getting back.

The results can vary, and productive doctor support is necessary. The fact is, weight loss alone, which can be sustained more easily on a whole food-plant based diet, has tremendous benefits. This diet can, with productive and encouraging medical support. Sometimes, a doctor can be a downer when they aren’t flexible. I would not blame a doctor for being pessimistic when they see many people not change their diet to help themselves. Sometimes, a new doctor needs to be considered, such as one with board certification in Lifestyle Medicine. These doctors are trained that if their patients are willing to accept and embark on better lifestyle, they will provide the best motivation and information possible to complete their turnaround.

Like when choosing foods not limited to plants, you will not like some, think some are average, and think some are phenomenal. Give it time and take the effort: this part is where work and discipline is required, but it’s not going to be uphill for long: the work levels off. You have the time in the kitchen to testing.

Also, you may believe a fact which is ingrained in many people: That one can’t learn to enjoy certain foods more. Tastes are acclimated, and when super rich processed foods are avoided altogether, simple foods like blueberries or bananas can be an overwhelming pleasure to eat.
