Here are the takeaways...

Food is fuel. It's not supposed to be used for entertainment, celebration, emotions, or anything other than to fuel our bodies.
Living enzymes with life vitality force are in the whole foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains and nuts.
A plant-based diet is also known as plant-forward or plant-prioritizing. This diet mostly plants. Most of the time.
A vegan diet is a morally guided plan that won't consume any product or food made from animals including leather or honey.
A success tip is to crowd out less healthy foods with vibrant, whole, fresh fruits and vegetables rather than focusing on cutting things out.
In the United States, we're living longer lives, but we're living sicker lives. We are living in the "Age of Man Made Illness" as opposed to Paleolithic Age. Most of these illnesses are caused by stress and food choices.
It's not normal to feel bad all the time.
Every meal you are either feeding disease or fighting disease.
One simple thing you can do is choose to consume foods that have a chemical reaction in your body that lowers cortisol.
Cutting back on caffeine can reduce anxiety.
Chamomile lowers cortisol in your body.
Stress blocks your body's ability to absorb nutrients.
