Plant-based nutrition from the perspective of functional medicine

Research shows that a plant-based diet not only helps improve health but may also play an important role in preventing disease.

Plant-based nutrition from the perspective of functional medicine

At its core, functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that seeks to explore the underlying causes of disease and reveal why certain diseases recur in specific patients. Functional medicine recognizes the important role food plays in treating or exacerbating different diseases and promotes the consumption of a plant-based diet rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Essential elements of a plant-based diet:

Phytochemicals: Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances, which have positive effects on health.

Fiber: Helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes digestive health.

Vitamins and minerals: Provide various trace elements needed by the body.

Significance:

Nutrient-dense foods: Vegan foods such as whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables are rich in beneficial nutrients and antioxidants.

Prevent disease: A diet high in fiber and low in saturated fat can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Gut Health: Promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which helps enhance immune response and improve digestive function.

Benefits: Plants such as turmeric, garlic, and chia/flax seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids and anti-inflammatory agents.
