Going All Veggies

The expression “you are what you eat” has been heard numerous times and it is
often used in advertisements. But, if you really think about what this means, you
really start to think twice about your diet.
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 fast food hamburger
your blood plasma becomes cloudy with fat and cholesterol. This is what your
body absorbs after eating a high-fat hamburger.
Inversely, you also become what you don’t eat. When you switch from eating a
lot of meat to eating a vegetarian 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 eating less meat products, you find that many of your
health and fitness problems go away. The risk of Type II diabetes is also
reduced. Blood pressure falls into normal ranges as well. When you’re healthier,
you also do not have to take fewer medications.
