Eating raw/living foods is a common misconception by many. While educating someone recently about eating a vegan diet, all I got were eyes rolled back at me and looks of craziness. Much of the population is not aware of the damage that eating animal products can do to our bodies. First off, it is known that animals carry so many diseases. Lets say theres a whole bunch of cows together, and one cow has a major disease and has a bowel movements, well since there are so many cows that are placed together in a farm, all it takes is for other cows to walk around in that feces and a disease can be passed around. The most farmers can do in inject hormones, antibiotics, or steroids into these animals to help kill this bacteria, but a lot is not killed, and is passed on to the human population when consuming these products. What we as humans don’t realize is just because it may not have an effect on our bodies in a short span of time, it really does cost us in the long run. All animals products are loaded with fats and are high in cholesterol, which can lead to one of the main causes on death, heart disease.
Eating these products can lead to many other diseases and disorders too. From my experience, I notice that when I turned into a vegetarian, I could focus a lot better, my cholesterol went down one hundred points, my body was less acidic, and I felt so much lighter. A reason for this could be because humans have a twenty-six foot long intestine, which meat does not easily pass through. Through studies and scientific research, it has been recorded that meet can rot in our bodies for up to many years. Eating a plant based diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, bypass surgery, etc.
This is a very broad concept, but it is something that I feel strongly admirable about and can say that eating raw/living foods and consuming no meat or animal products definitely pays off in the long run-health wise, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
