After months of dabbling in pescetarianism, veganism, and vegetarianism, I decided what I should and shouldn't eat in order to make my body feel the best it can be.

I decided to stop eating meat and here’s why:

1. Eating meat makes you more susceptible to heart disease.

Animal meat contains an enzyme called Neu5Gc, which clogs arteries and is not naturally found in humans but CAN be found in human tumors…

2. It can take up to 2 days to digest it.

Our intestines are really long and the meat we eat is sitting in there for two days….GROSS!

3. You won’t be protein deficient.

In fact, meat eaters tend to have far MORE protein than necessary for the human body….which in turn can make you lose bone calcium.

4. Environmental pollution.

Factory farming pollutes our water and soil more than anything else.

5. Animals in factory farms are overcrowded and tortured.

Beaks are clipped and there is no room for the animals to run around...they are injected with hormones and slaughtered SOLELY for unnecessary food.

6. Eating meat makes it harder to lose weight.

In fact, meat eaters are THREE TIMES more likely to become obese.

7. I’ve never felt more energized.

From personal experience, I really think my body agrees with my diet choices, I always feel full of energy!

8. Our biological makeup.

Our teeth are small, our jaws are small, and our fingernails are soft, we were not made to rip apart and eat meat.

9. We don’t NEED meat.

Simply put, we just don’t! Do your body and the environment a favor and cut it out of your diet.

Humans are able to find all the nutrition we need through solely plant-based foods...so do some research and make the switch. It’s time to help save.
