Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/30/2015 -- Green City, Philadelphia's only salon for sugaring, the all-natural alternative to waxing, abides by the philosophy that beauty is a holistic practice. This outlook shapes the sugaring and facial services at their Walnut Street location as well as the products used, which are just as gentle and all-natural. Green City also emphasizes that it is important that clients start their beauty routines from the inside out by taking care of their physical health. Recently, Green City has shared information on how incorporating plant-based nutrition may contribute to overall health.
The recommendation comes from an article entitled "Understanding the Benefits of Plant-Based Nutrition," which was written by Gino R. Garza, RDH, Med, MAADH and appeared in Access magazine's September-October 2014 issue.
In the article, Garza explains the benefits of eating plant-based diets. In the past decade, more physicians have begun to recommend that their patients incorporate a diet rich in fruits and vegetables into their lives, and more people have taken this advice. Additionally, the USDA recommends that meals consist of 50% fruits and vegetables. A trove of evidence supports the shift towards plant-based diets, strongly suggesting that these diets are effective for weight loss, disease prevention and overall, holistic health.
According to Garza, studies have found correlations between eating less animal protein and a reduced risk of cancer, as well as lower rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. Plant-based diets also provide more of the vitamins, minerals and fiber that the human body needs to function properly. Finally, eating nutrient-rich, plant-based meals helps individuals to feel fuller for longer, aiding those who intend to lose weight.
