Meatless Mondays: Are you up for the challenge?

 

Check these out, too...

  • 7 ridiculous caffeine-laced products (and why they just might disappear)
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?

okay so i was on birth control to regulate my periods for about 6 months and then went off, i haven't gotten my period since i got off and it's been about 6 months, i don't want to tell my doctor because she'll just think it's "normal" what should i do?




 

It takes a while to get adjusted to birth control, as well as to get adjusted off of birth control. It really depends on the persons body. If you are really concerned, you should go to the doctors and if they say it's "normal," than you have nothing to worry about!
