5 of the best benefits of why you should at least consider ditch meat
1. Reduce Carbon footprint
Climate change will benefit from an atmosphere that will act in being environmentally friendly.
2. Prevents Diabetes
And if you already suffer from non-insulin-dependent diabetes, it can be better controlled and even reversed when you choose to follow a low-fat, vegetarian diet and adopt a regular exercise routine.
3. Reduced Risk of Cholesterol
Saturated fat is found in animal products. This type of fat is a major source of cholesterol in our diet. So, here’s the thing if there are no animal products in your diet, you are reducing your intake of saturated fat, which will translate towards beating heart diseases.
4. Fewer Antibiotics and Growth Hormone
Animal meats often contain growth hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals. By removing them from your diet, you will be ingesting a lot less of these harmful hormones. We have enough with our own hormones being a rollercoaster once a month.
5. Better for Hair and Nails
Who doesn’t want better skin and nails? We for sure are in with this. A meat-free diet tends to experience better skin and health due to a higher intake of vitamins A and E.
