The Graham Diet

The Graham Diet, developed by Sylvester Graham in the 19th century, promotes a whole food, plant-based approach to eating. It emphasizes the consumption of unrefined, natural foods, particularly whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, while avoiding processed foods, refined sugars, and meat. Graham believed that a healthy diet could improve physical well-being and moral character. The diet also encourages a balanced lifestyle that includes regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindful eating practices. Although it originated in a health reform movement, its principles align with modern trends towards vegetarianism and whole-food diets.
