You Are What You Eat

The expression “you are what you eat” has been said and heard endless times and it is often used in advertisements. But, if you think about what this means, you really start to think twice about what you are stuffing your face with.

A good example of a person being what they eat can be seen in your blood plasma. Your blood plasma is clear liquid, but after eating a greasy hamburger your blood plasma becomes cloudy with fat and cholesterol. This is what your body absorbs after eating those nasty burgers.

Inversely, you also become what you don’t eat. When you switch from eating meat to eating a vegetable based diet, you lose fat. You are also less prone to various cancers and diseases. Your cholesterol can also improve. When you are lean and staying away from meat products, you find that many of your health and fitness problems disappear. The risk of type two diabetes is also reduced. Blood pressure falls into normal ranges as well. When you are healthier, you are sexier, and when you are sexier, you are happier.

If you have a family history of high cholesterol or blood pressure, then you are particularly dependent on what you eat and it is easier for you to become what you eat. Switching to a vegetarian diet can reduce the incidence of numerous diseases. Vegetarians are also statistically healthier.

 

Health benefits are nice, I think we would all agree. But there are a few other reasons to go veg. Go veg for the environment. Go veg because the meat industry is the most cruel disgusting industry in the world. Go veg… so you can sleep at night. Join SoVeg, it’s awesome.
