5 reasons why i stopped eating meat
Since a few months i stopped eating meat and guess what i feel 5 times better.
I don't want to tell anyone how to live their life but here are my personal 5 reasons why i stopped eating meat.
1.Research led by Oxford Martin School finds widespread adoption of vegetarian diet would cut food-related emissions by 63% and make people healthier too.
2.Researchers have found that when we eat red meat, there is a set of reactions mediated by microbes in our gut. These gut microbe reactions are triggered by carnitine, a nutrient found in red meat. The study found that these reactions, which were previously unrecognized, contribute to the development of heart disease.
3.Recently, many studies have shown that plant-based diets, rather than diets that favor a high meat intake, are more beneficial to health. For instance, last month, Medical News Today reported on a study that linked vegetarian diets with lower cholesterol levels.
At the same time, many existing studies link meat consumption with a higher risk of developing diabetes.
4.Meat eaters are at a higher risk of colorectal and prostate cancers.
The vegan diet consists of far higher volumes of legumes, fruits, and vegetables, fiber, and vitamin C. These are believed to protect against a variety of cancers.
5.Consuming fruits and veggies can effectively increase serotonin levels — the happy chemical — which can lead to the desire to have more sex. According to a 2012 study published in the Nutrition Journal, those who don’t eat any meat tend to be happier and less stressed than those who eat meat. The team of researchers attributed this to the presence of fatty acids, specifically arachidonic acid (AA) — an animal source of omega-6 fatty acids — which can cause mood-disturbing changes in the brain at high levels.
We are all unique. I was a vegetarian for 8 years, got fat and was sick all the time. I went back to eating meat that I raise myself, no hormones or antibiotics, no GMO food, and now I easily maintain my ideal weight, have more energy, clearer head. Furthermore, I can feed 100 people all winter if a disaster strikes near me, I could never grow enough vegetables to sustain a community in need. Glad you found what works for you!
