No meat… easy

The benefits of a meatless diet have been discussed and proven over many years. Not only for one’s health but also for the environment.

Meat can take up to 3 days to digest.

When your system is already gassy, the half chewed meat will stay behind in the colon and start putrefying.

Your stomach will remain bloated and can become hard. Eventually there may be some small movements. People may run for a laxative at this point, which after prolonged use will eventually stop working.

As one gets older and the HCL (stomach acid) dries up it gets even harder for food to go down. This can cause the meat to sit in the oesophagus like a stone making it difficult to breathe. This especially happens when you eat fast.

Sometimes the fermented acid waste backlog can lead to bowel perforation and also fatal rupture, Which can be life threatening in the elderly and is more common than you think.

Despite the issues meat eating causes, it is a habit that many find difficult to change.
In order to change it and sustain the meatless diet requires creativity and effort to create interesting and delicious dishes.

It’s never too late to start looking after your colon and eating more appropriately for your long term health. Thereby reducing the intense farming and associated cruelty to the animals.

With so many books around now on this subject of vegetarian and gluten free preparation and juicing it’s becoming more exciting and fun to experiment.
