If you’ve eaten meat and animal products your whole life,
you might think, why switch to a vegetarian diet? You’ve lived your whole life
eating eggs, hamburgers, hot dogs, poultry, so why switch now?
There could be many reasons to switch. Start by looking in
the mirror. Are you at a healthy weight? Do you look and feel good most of the
time? Do you wake up energized? Or do you wake up tired and sluggish?
How is your general health? Is your blood pressure within a
healthy range? Are your cholesterol and blood sugar ranges normal? If they’re
not, consider what you’re eating on a daily basis.
How do you feel after eating? Do you feel energized, as if
you’ve fed your body what it needs? Or are you tired and dragged out? Do you
often need a nap after eating? Is that what food is supposed to do for us, make
us tired and sleepy?
Not really. Food should nourish and feed the body and leave
us energized and refreshed. The human body is a machine and needs fuel that
keeps it running in peak condition. When we’re fat, with high blood pressure,
Type II diabetes, high cholesterol and other unhealthy conditions, it’s like a
car engine that hasn’t been tuned or isn’t running on the optimal type of
gasoline it needs to run efficiently. Your body is the same way. It needs the
right kind of fuel to run at peak efficiency, and when you’re eating high-fat
meat, or meat that’s been fed antibiotics throughout its life, that’s simply
not the kind of fuel the human body evolved to run on.
Try eating vegetarian for a week or a month. See if you
don’t feel different, more mentally acute and more physically fit and
energized. At least reverse the portion sizes you’ve been eating, and make meat
more of a side dish, if you can’t stop eating meat altogether. Even that change
can make a big difference in your overall health and well-being.
