“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”

Whole foods – why they matter to me and why they should to you, too!

It has come as a huge surprise to me that I am so interested in nutrition, but the more I find out, the more I want to know. I am listening to podcasts by doctors during my runs, reading journals, medical studies, books and articles, watching documentaries, keeping a notebook and pretty much lapping up any nutrition information statistics and research I can get my hands on and understand with my very basic scientific knowledge. The topics? Whole food, plant-based nutrition. Who would’ve thought it just 2 years ago? And why do I care? We’ll come back to this shortly. Let me paint the picture first.

Not ready to go vegan but want to adopt a more compassionate lifestyle? 8 little things you can do right now which will make a big difference.

“Being vegan is great! Run! Be vegan! Woo, go veganism!”

I’m aware that it isn’t that simple for a lot of people and I’m not all about the hard sell. Would I love it if everyone in the world went vegan? Of course. Could I spend hours telling you why adopting a plant based lifestyle is good for your health, the environment, climate change, animals and generally helping to improve a lot of the things we need to improve as human beings? Sure I could. But I’m not going to. (Well not here, anyway!)
