Healthy nutrition is essential for a body with lipedema
When your body has to fight lipedema every day, it is important that you support it optimally with the right nutrition
I consciously choose healthy
I consciously go for healthy food that provides my body with the right vitamins, minerals, fibers and bio-active substances. I know my body suffers from lipedema, so I do everything I can to be kind to my body and help and support it as best I can.
The consumption of animal products requires a lot of energy from our body. This is energy that I believe can be used more efficiently, for example to recover from an intensive Quadrivas treatment. Animal products and processed food in particular are also rich in saturated fat and trigger inflammatory reactions in our body. Something that women with lipedema already suffer from more than enough.
In addition, a protein-rich diet (as most animal based diets are) causes a lot of acidification in the body. Which can lead to ‘diseases of affluence’ such as; cardiovascular disease, cellulite, kidney disease, liver dysfunction, colon cancer and osteoporosis. And while we’ve been treating these lifestyle diseases for decades, their numbers continue to rise. Think about that for a second…
Unlike such diets, a plant-based diet has a strong alkaline effect and thus keeps our pH levels at a healthy level. Even without focusing on my lipedema, I experience the benefits of a plant-based diet. I feel more energetic, my skin feels better and I have better bowel movements.
Oh, did I tell you that it is also very tasty?
Start your plant-based journey with confidence
Together we ensure that you know exactly where you are currently at and where you want to go. Let us help you find your way in the transition to a largely or completely plant-based diet.
