ALL PROTEIN IS MADE BY PLANTS

 

Only plants have the ability to take Nitrogen from the air, break down the molecules and incorporate the Nitrogen into Amino acids and make PROTEIN. Protein from animal is recycled protein and cannot be compared to plant protein. So when we talk of protein, the best form of protein comes from plant. Emphasis has been placed on animal protein such that we are totally oblivious to the fact that these animals grow not based on the grass they eat but based on the antibiotics, gmo feeds and foods that they are being fed.

There at least 450 different drugs that are given to these animals, 80% of antibiotics are being sold to livestock agriculture. Going by the rate the world at large consume meat, we should have run out of livestock by now but it keeps increasing. If you must eat meat, rear your animal yourself. You eat what it eats, you are what you eat.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO LIVE FOREVER, BUT WHILE WE ARE AROUND, WE CAN LIVE WELL.

HOW A DIET TOO HIGH IN SODIUM CAN AFFECT YOUR HEART AND BRAIN

HEART: Due to salt’s fluid retention effect, in some individuals excessive amount of salt in their diet can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. High blood pressure can lead to many serious conditions such as stroke and heart failure. Although blood pressure increases naturally with age, according to the American Heart Association, reducing your salt intake can help prevent your blood pressure from increasing too much.

BRAIN: A 2011 Canadian study on 1,200 older sedentary adults with normal brain function found that over the course of three years, high sodium diets were linked to increased risks of cognitive decline. This result was independent of hypertension and global diet quality and suggests that sodium intake alone may affect cognitive function in sedentary older adults. A 2011 Australian study found that the brain responds to sodium similar to how it does for substances such as heroin, cocaine and nicotine, which may explain why so many of us tend to overindulge in high sodium foods.
