In the past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of attending sneak previews & premieres of some incredibly powerful films. Luckily, these films will be in theaters near you soon but if you miss them, they will be available on dvd shortly.
The first, and for me, the most revolutionary in my quest to spread the message of health via a plant based diet is Forks Over Knives. A documentary that follows physicians and scientists who have dedicated their research and medical practice to promoting the importance of a plant based diet to gain optimum health. In the film we see undeniable proof from 40 plus years of scientific research as well as following the stories of once terminally ill patients who have been, in a sense, cured by following a vegan diet. I have studied holistic nutrition and naturopathic medicine for almost a decade now and I am so happy that this film has finally been made. I am a huge fan of the China Study and have turned many people on to it since it hit book stores. But for those who don’t like to read, this film will be a valuable tool that showcases valid and iron clad proof that you can take an active role in your health by implementing a plant based diet in to your daily life. Find out more about the film as well as where you can catch a screening near you on the Forks Over Knives website.
Next week, I will review Skin Trade – stay tuned!
