Veganism… it’s you choosing your body and health. Reverse heart disease, preventative medicine, better mental health, all from giving your body what it is made for.
Not because of trends or being on a “diet,” but because we should give our bodies what it deserves. The human body is meant to only consume vegetables, not animal products. In reality, our bodies actively reject animal products.
Holistic living is putting the best and pure ingredients in your body and understanding why.
Our bodies are shaped to not eat meat. Our digestive tracts, our teeth, the way our bodies respond to consumption of animal products… all signal to us that we are harming our bodies by doing so.
Animal products clog our arites, decrease our energy, make our blood plasma become cloudy, increase likelihood of heart conditions… just to name a few of the effects of consuming animal products.
The numerous arguments that defend the human consumption of animal products are there to only support that business, while disregarding the harm to health. The society we live in favors making a buck over bettering human life.
The arguments that support the meat industry are the ones that do not support your health.
Body inflammation goes down, performance is optimized, soreness is decreased, immune system responses are heightened, blood flow is better, antioxidant concentrations are higher…
This “animal protein” actually is worse for our bodies. The simple biochemical reasoning is that plaques form in our arteries due to this animal protein, which makes it harder for our hearts to pump blood around the body.
Premature heart attacks and poor heart health can be a result of consuming animal products for a lifetime, yet the switch to a vegan diet can reverse some of the negative effects. For those without animal consumption damage, vegan diets can be preventive medicine.
One of the biggest myths is that someone needs to eat animal protein to gain muscle. That couldn’t be farther from the truth!
All protein consumed by humans originates from plants. Even the so-called “animal protein” is just based on the animals originally eating plants. Animals are just the “middle men.”
Plants contain all the essential amino acids humans need to thrive, so why complicate it?
The human body doesn’t even use protein to give us energy in the body. Our bodies rely on glucose to sustain us during everyday life and during our workouts. In reality, there are systems in our body that prevent protein from being used as an energy source.
Eating a vegan diet is even bettering your mental health by decreasing stress. Eliminating animal products from your diet reduces the amount of cortisol, the stress hormone, in your blood by 27%.
Studies have shown that those on a plant-based or vegetarian diet have decreased levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Additionally, these studies have shown an increase in mood for those on these diets.
The other argument made by the meat industry is that we should eat like the cavemen did. Well, they were mostly vegetarians too! Evidence suggests early humans ate the vegetation around them, and slightly supplemented it with meat and hunting.
Simply comparing our digestive tract with actual carnivores shows how different we are. A great example is a lion. Their digestive tract is incredibly short, and their K9 teeth are meant for ripping meat.
Human digestive tracts are around 30 feet! Also, we use our molar teeth the most because they are meant to grind plants.
Similarly, our eyesight differentiates us from carnivores. Humans have trichromatic vision, which suggests we can see more colors and differentiates things we can eat using our eyes. Carnivores only see in black and white, they just need any meat.
As humans, we have the ability to shape our genes. This doesn’t mean we can change our eye color or grow another foot if we wanted to… BUT our decisions and actions can direct some of our DNA to turn “on” or “off.”
For example, if someone is predisposed to being overweight based on parents genes, that doesn’t mean that child will necessarily be overweight too. By eating a vegan diet, it can help turn “off” that gene.
Many famous athletes are transitioning to the vegan diet because of the boost in health and energy they get once they give their body what they are supposed to.
Choose to only put the best nutrients in your body. Only give your body what it wants and needs, and you’ll have more energy, be more uplifted and be the healthiest version of you!
