Is It True You Are What You Eat

You have surely heard the expression before, “You are what you eat.” But have you ever wonder what it means? Do you think about it when you are making nutrient choices?
In many ways, we do become what we eat, literally. Have you ever look at an example of your blood plasma after eating a beefburger? What was previously a clear liquid becomes cloudy with the fat and cholesterol that is absorbed from eating a high-fat burger.
And while you think about it, you also become what you do not eat. When you switch from eating meat to a vegetarian-based diet, you become less fat, less prone to many types of illness. Your cholesterol can improve. When you eating fewer animal products you become leaner and healthier, and so many other health and fitness issues are decreased. The incidence of Type II diabetes is reduced. Your blood pressure falls into normal ranges. When you are healthier, you take fewer medicines. You save money with fewer medications.
If your family have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, then it’s particularly obligatory you to change your eating habits. Moving towards a more vegetarian diet has been shown statistically to reduce the incidence of so many of the diseases of today’s modern lifestyle. Vegetarians are statistically healthier than omnivorous individuals; they’re leaner and live healthier life.
Shouldn’t you think about what you want to be many years from now and to eat accordingly? Do you want to be sluggish and over weigh? Do you want the risk that goes with consuming animal products, with their high fat content? Or do you want to look like and be what vegetarians are? Lean and fit with a longer anticipated lifespan. It is never too late to change what you are eating and increase your chances for a longer, healthier life.
