10. No More Groggy Mornings
One of the things most people report after switching to a plant based diet is that their sleep improves dramatically. Not only that, but they also say that they wake up much more easily, not groggy and wishing they could go back to bed. There could be many reasons for this. One is that since your digestive system doesn’t need to spend so much energy on digesting animal protein, they can get the rest they desperately need.
Your digestive system and hormones reset themselves when you are sleeping. Since the digestion of animal protein can take as much as three times longer than plant protein, this means your body can still be digesting food while you are sleeping. Your body also does its detoxification process while you sleep. The less fat, animal protein and acid that your body has to clean out, the better you will sleep. If you are one of those persons who have a hard time falling asleep, forget the warm milk, try a cup of chamomile tea to naturally relax and calm both the body and mind.
With so much going for you, what are you waiting for? Meatless Mondays? Start with that, then perhaps every month, add one day each week where you go meatless. Before you know it, you will be eating a plant based diet and not only will your body be healthier, but, as kids like to say, you will be styling like you never imagined!
