You are what you eat
You must have heard the expression "You are what you eat" many times. Have you ever wondered what that actually means? So what do you think about when choosing food?
In some ways, we literally become what we eat. Have you ever seen a sample of your blood plasma after eating a fast food hamburger? What was once a clear liquid becomes cloudy with the fat and cholesterol absorbed from the high-fat hamburger.

And when we think about it, we become what we don't eat. When we switch from eating meat to a vegetarian diet, we become less fat and less prone to many types of cancer. Our cholesterol can improve.
Many other health and fitness issues are also reduced when we are leaner and consume fewer animal products. Incidence of diabetes II. type decreases. Blood pressure drops to normal limits. When you are healthier, you take less medicine. Even if your health plan has a prescription drug benefit, you still save money by paying lower co-pays for drugs.
If you have a family history of high cholesterol or high blood pressure, then it is primarily your responsibility to review your eating habits. Switching to a more vegetarian diet has been statistically proven to reduce the incidence of many diseases in industrialized countries. Vegetarians are statistically healthier than omnivores; They are slimmer and live longer.
Isn't it time to think about what you want to be and eat accordingly? Do you want to be slow and fat? Do you want to risk eating animal products because of their high fat content? Or do you want to look and be like vegetarians? It has a longer lifespan, is slimmer and fitter. It's never too late to change what you're doing and improve your chances of living a longer, healthier life.
