I decided to watch something educational and based in nutrition while my hubby was involved in other activities. I chose "Forks Over Knives". As you can tell by the title, this movie is about the health benefits of a plant-based diet. It's a documentary style movie. It is definitely very biased against meat, but the information about eating a whole foods, plant-based diet is based in well researched information. My mindset has been that a whole foods diet is the best diet to eat. I do not know that I want to be a vegetarian. However, I think I could definitely eat less meat for my health.
The movie isn't exciting, but is eye-opening. A lot of the information I had already covered in some of my college courses. It was worth watching. I found the movie on Netflix.
The movie is filled with clinical study information and follows several people with extreme health issues. Some had heart attacks and were told there was nothing else they could do. Some were on five or more medications given no hope to live without them. The person commentating felt he was okay but was addicted to Red Bull and other caffeine. He discovered his health was below par and he tried the whole foods, plant-based diet for several weeks. All the people followed benefited greatly from the plans they were put on. No meds,...all food...real...whole...plant....food.
Forks Over Knives has a website with vegetarian recipes. There is even an app for $4.99 that I have on my iPhone app wish list.
I recommend watching "Forks Over Knives" if you are looking for information to drastically change your health for the better.
