Mindfulness is probably the most important practice we can ever
undertake. In this wonderful book, Lani Muelrath explains, with
compassion and clarity, how you can eat and live more
mindfully--and thus how you can transform your life.
~ Dr. Melanie Joy, author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear
Cows and Beyond Beliefs: A Guide to Improving Relationships and
Communication for Vegans, Vegetarians, and Meat Eaters.
In over 40 years of conducting clinical research, my colleagues
and I have shown that a whole foods -based diet (naturally
low in refined carbs and ), along with meditation/yoga,
exercise, and social support (love & intimacy) can reverse the
progression of the most common chronic diseases. The more
illnesses we study, and the more underlying biological mechanisms
we examine, the more reasons we have to explain why these
lifestyle changes are so powerful and how quickly they may occur.
The Mindful Vegan eloquently describes why, and how.
~ Dean Ornish, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCSF,
Founder & President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute and
author of six books, all bestsellers
Lani takes conscious living up a notch with this beautiful guide
whose ripple effects extend far and wide. Long before you finish,
you will have a much deeper connection to your own compassion -
and a much broader understanding of what it means to live
mindfully.
~ Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, bestselling author of The 30-Day
Vegan Challenge and host of the Food for Thought podcast.
