I was reading an article I saved from one of those women's magazine about wellness. It gave strategies to achieve four goals: lower your blood pressure, slash cholesterol, clean up your diet, banish fatigue.
Some of the tips were pretty obvious lifestyle adjustments like drink more water, eat more vegetables, eat smaller meals but snack more often, exercise, get good quality sleep, reduce salt intake, get a massage, learn to breathe.
However, I find that the first three goals can be achieved effortlessly if you switch to a vegan diet. It is unfortunate that people are so brainwashed about getting protein from meat and dairy that we don't realize meat is the cause of much health problems in our country: obesity, heart disease, cancer, and many more aliments that can be avoided. Less developed country with plant based diet start to suffer dramatic increase in these diseases when they start to adopt our western diet. I wonder when people will find that meat is bad for you, much like how tobocco company use to make people think that smoking is alright.
