🥔 Why Carbs Are Awesome as A Vegan ▫️ Credit: ➡ @seasoned_tofu ▫️ 🥦 Whole Food Plant Based Carbs: The Vegan Advantage 🥦 ▫️ 🥖 Ahhh yes, carbs. A word that would make some of you shiver in your seats. Carbs have recently been demonized in the media due to the popularity of the keto diet. But when were talking about whole food plant based carbs, these foods provide you with the most benefits (ESPECIALLY as a vegan.) ▫️ 🍉 These types of carbs are great for weight maintenance, due to their high fiber (and sometimes water) content, making you feel fuller. ▫️ 🥝 This same fiber also contributes to a happy gut. The gut helps control everything from your weight to your mood to brain health, inflammation and immune function. Not only that, but 90% of serotonin (the happy hormone) is produced in the gut. ▫️ 🍞 A high carb low fat vegan diet has also been shown to clear arteries and reverse heart disease. Google "A way to reverse CAD?" and click on the first link. ▫️ 💪🏼 And of course we can't forget how important healthy carbs are for energy and muscle building. Carbs are converted to glucose, which our muscles, organs, and brain use for energy. They also aid in muscle repair and growth, due to the glycogen from carbs which is stored in the muscle. ▫️ 🍊 So don't be afraid of carbs. Just understand what the right ones are to eat. ▫️ Follow 👥, Like ♥️, Share 🔄 & Comment 📝 #eatingvegan #eatmoreplants #eatvegan #highcarb #highcarblowfat #highcarbvegan #plantbasedfitness #plantbasedfoods #veganathlete #veganbodybuilding #vegancarbs #vegandiet #veganfitness #veganfoods #vegangains #veganhealth #vegannutrition #veganpower #veganpowerlifting #veganprotein #veganshare #veganstrength #veganstrong #veganweightlifting #vgang #wfpb #whatveganseat #wholefoodsdiet #wholefoodsplantbased #southafricanvegan https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GH0nPJoNA/?igshid=9tnz5ecqg3vr
