7 Reasons To Become Vegetarian/Vegan
1. With businesses trying to get more money from their meat,
livestock is pumped full of steroids, growth hormones, water,
antibiotics and more. This stays in their flesh, so when you eat
it, guess what? It'll accumulate in your body. Most people don't
like taking their own medicine much less their food's!!!
2. Scientific studies have suggested that mortality rates from
cancer and coronary heart disease are lower in those who avoid
meat.
3. Vegetarian diets (and in particular vegan diets) are also
higher in fibre, so there is no additional fibre needed to
digest them, unlike meat which has virtually no fibre, therefore
giving your body the job of finding fibre to digest it.
Digesting food that doesn't have it's own supply of water and
fibre can put a strain on the body over time, leading to
constipation or irritable bowel syndrome.
4. When the body breaks down protein, the liver produces a
substance called uric acid which is then excreted from the body
from the kidneys and urine. When there is an excess from excess
meat consumption, uric acid remains in the blood as the kidneys
can't handle it, crystallises and deposits in the joints leading
to kidney problems, arthritis and osteoporosis.
5. Meat is high is saturated fats which can clog the arteries
leading to heart problems and obesity, raised cholesterol levels
and other diseases.
6. Ecologically, meat eaters are definitely not environmentally
friendly. Put simply, there are millions of starving people in
the world. The land cleared to house livestock could be used to
grow enough food to feed the starving masses. Also the grain etc
used to feed the livestock could also amply feed the masses. Not
to mention the fact that the clearing of rain forests and
woodland to accommodate the livestock is drastically
contributing to global warming by disturbing the ecology of the
planet, increasing carbon levels, loss of topsoil and even
species extinction.
7. The human body has been shown not to be designed to eat meat,
our digestive tracts are that of herbivores as are our teeth,
our body is designed to eat fruit, vegetables and the herb of
the ground, not meat.
