How Simple Food Choices Can Transform Your Family’s Wellbeing

In this episode of NatureFit Family, Brett dives deep into the importance of managing personal health to create a balanced, resilient family. Amidst the uncertainty of the election, Brett emphasizes the power of taking control over what we can—our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being—to lead our families with strength and presence. He shares insights on “diet” as more than just a restrictive eating plan but as a holistic approach to nourishing our bodies, with examples from his own journey with weight management and optimal nutrition. He encourages listeners to explore healthier food choices, like complete proteins to support both personal vitality and a positive family legacy.

Key Takeaways:

1. Lead by example: Embrace holistic health practices to guide your family through life’s uncertainties.
2. Redefine diet: Focus on a balanced, nutritious selection rather than restrictive eating.
3. Explore complete proteins: Consider combining plant-based sources like beans and rice to meet dietary needs.
4. Prioritize family wellness: A healthy lifestyle fosters a strong foundation for future generations.

The literature and meta-analyses point to an optimal diet for humans that has followed our species from the beginnings of humankind. The optimal diet is a whole food, high fiber, low-fat, 90+% plant-based diet. This diet allowed humans to become the most developed species on Earth.

All meta-analyses conducted to assess mortality showed highly significant results. Specifically, meat consumption increased mortality probability by 18% on average, plant-based diets and fiber-rich diets decreased mortality by 15% and 20%, respectively.

In addition, dairy consumption (as measured by IGF1) was found to increase the probability of cancer by about 50%, while plant-based nutrition reduced diabetes by about 27%.

To conclude the findings, a whole-food, high-fiber, plant-based diet consisting mainly of whole grains, legumes, USOs, nuts, seeds, and fruits, with reduced quantities of meat and dairy products, has been statistically proven to prevent most modern-day diseases while supporting the growing population healthily and sustainably.
