Vegetarians
- 10 Reasons Why You Should Become A TRUE VEGETARIAN!
The
word vegetarian comes from the root word vegetable (ie vegetation…
pertaining exclusively to the plant kingdom. Hence, the
true vegetarian.)
10.Vegetarians
portray a marked decrease in overweight and obesity. Notwithstanding,
"junk food vegetarians" are often overweight and obese.
Keep in mind there are some pre-prepared vegetarian foods
that are so highly refined and containing such things as
artificial preservatives, colorings, flavorings, synthetic
vitamins, etc., that they are categorically speaking junk
foods. Avoid these foods as far as possible.
True
vegetarians - as a result of the reasons just shared with
you - live an average of 5-20 years longer than non-vegetarians.
True, or pure vegetarians abstain from the use of all foods
of animal origin, this includes animal by-products. Another
group called vegans avoid all foods of animal origin as
well as any commercial products such as leather, which require
taking the life of animals.
There
are some vegetarians who fall into another category. I have
coined or call this group "junk food vegetarians". Having
said this, I hasten to add, that in using this terminology
it is not my intention to be demeaning or critical. I speak
this metaphorically, in pointing to the fact that some vegetarians
are pursuing a diet made up largely of over cooked, highly
refined and adulterated foods of vegetable origin. Many
of these people are unaware that these foods are - categorically
speaking - junk foods. This remains true even though these
foods are derived from the plant kingdom.
The main concern in a vegetarian diet is the sufficient
intake of a variety of different foods, including fruits
and vegetables, grains and legumes, nuts and seeds. Raw
foods are live foods and contain what I have coined as being
"live full calories".
No
one should attempt to make drastic changes in their diet
for an extended period of time without first consulting
with an all natural health care doctor who has been formally
schooled and trained in the profession of all natural medicine
and nutrition.
