Meatless Mondays: Are you up for the challenge?

Last week, Los Angeles became the largest city in the world to endorse the meatless Monday campaign. Will your household be next?

 

Though lean meat and animal products can be part of a healthy and balanced diet, limiting your consumption of it—and upping your intake of other protein sources, like quinoa, nuts and beans as well as fresh fruits and veggies—can give your health and the environment a big-time boost.

 

How? Well, eating red meat can raise your cholesterol, increasing your eventual risk for certain diseases affecting your heart and other important organs. Eating lots of red meat is also linked to weight gain. Environmentally speaking, raising livestock takes up far more resources than growing plants that can provide similar nutrients. And while meat does supply you with tons of protein and minerals like iron, exploring other food groups will help diversify your palate—and that’s always a good thing.

 

So what do you think? Will you try the meatless Monday challenge?

Actually Soccerholic, it's not in our blood to eat meat. Our bodies were not made to process animal fats. I'm a vegan, and I think supporting Meatless Mondays is awesome. After reading up on how bad ingesting animal products is, I can't imagine every going back. If you're interested on a plant based diet, I would suggest reading the books Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr or The Beauty Detox Solution by Kimberly Snyder. Both give tons of information on how to eat the correct way for you body!

It's in our blood to eat meat, and while it's good that people are trying to find ways to get the protein from substitutes, you can never go wrong with a good steak or burger. But, I think it's great that so many people are doing what they agree with.
