How and Why I am A Vegetarian
Eating a vegetarian diet is a choice that several people are making everyday. From improving your physical health to maintaining top physique and fitness, This choice of a diet can no longer be viewed as a “hipâ€? thing to do, but rather it is an excellent choice for attaining and maintaining sound health for the body, mind and soul‌really. I have been on a vegetarian diet-or to be more exact-a vegan diet for close to 10 years now and although the first 3 were erroneous based on my actions as a result of misinformation, the last 7 or so have been the healthiest of my entire life. The benefits of a vegetarian diet that I have personally experienced have on several occasions led me to convince many associates to make a similar dietetic change. When one considers the popular non-vegetarian food-fare that we consume on a daily basis and the havoc they wreak on the body, it becomes blatantly obvious that a change of some sorts need to be made. Agreed, everything should be done in moderation, and well if you feel going completely vegetarian is out of the question for now in regards to your diet, then at least see to it that the following products are of minimal occurrence in what you do consume Meat: I am of the belief that giving up all flesh foods may be highly beneficial to the health seeker. Fruits and raw vegetables contain ascorbic properties that prevent various diseases. Meat, however, may be affected by such dreaded diseases as intestinal worms etc. They are highly unbalanced, containing a great excess of protein while almost completely lacking in calcium and growth promoting vitamins and minerals. If you must eat meat or flesh, do eat only one kind of it in a day in very small quantities and spaced very far and few between say once or twice a week and then with plenty of green leaves and starch-less vegetables. Milk: The milk of any animal is basically too rich humans. It is highly acidic and mucus forming. The fact that man needs to drink the milk of another creature after it has been weaned of his own mother is actually laughable and propaganda hyped by its endorsers basically for their gain. Animal milk is for the animal's offspring and not you. Think about it. That being said, it is advisable to eliminate milk and all dairy from the diet for optimal health. Soy milk by the way is not much better than milk as they are basically legumes which are unbalanced protein-rich foods. -Honey:
This over-promoted, overpriced product being sold to gullible health faddists should be eliminated from your diet. It is meant only for the bees that make it. Being predigested it enters the bloodstream rapidly raising the blood sugar way above normal. To correct this, the pancreas must produce insulin or death may occur. Replace honey with genuine maple syrup for a much more balanced and safer, sweetener. -Eggs: Even worse than meats. Research has shown they are very constipating and its white is dangerous, acid forming and too high in protein qualities. -Fish: I’ve heard many people proudly declare “I don’t do red meat just fish and poultry!” However, they are very mistaken in that; although for the reasons given above-meat is highly detrimental for consumption, Fish is even worse. It putrefies much quicker than meat. If you cut a piece of fish and meat side by side, you’ll notice that the former decays much quicker than the latter. Imagine what it’s like on the inside of the body. Moreover, taking into consideration the heavy metal contamination that fish contains-based on the pollution of their habitat, Fish is an especially bad choice, so do yourself a favor, avoid fish at all times if you can! Admittedly, though some non-vegetarians may show bodily vigor, they usually do not possess the vegetarian’s endurance and strength. Even our distant cousins, the Apes in the wild, are vegetarians as well. Personally, being a vegetarian has been probably one of the best things I’ve done and intend to stick with for the remainder of my days here on earth, it will be safe to say if it interests you, being a vegetarian definitely won’t hurt and could possibly help immensely. Here’s to health and happiness.
