Hi, my name is Desiree Winkel, owner and founder of Fitness Coaching. I’ve been working for years in my own personal training studio with clients who like to get fit and healthy, and even those who are in pain. My clients love to train in a cosy, clean, and absolutely friendly atmosphere. Follow what we do on Facebook Instagram.
About two months ago, I decided to change my overall healthy lifestyle a bit more – let’s say shake it up a bit. I decided to change into being a vegetarian. A vegetarian is absolutely not the same as being Vegan. The main difference is that a lacto-ovo vegetarian still can eat eggs and drink milk, for example. While a real Vegan would not touch anything that is made from any animal in this world.
Adopting a vegetarian diet can be a fantastic entry into experiencing better health. A vegetarian diet is associated with a higher consumption of fibre, folic acid, vitamins C and E, magnesium, unsaturated fat, and lots more. This often results in vegetarians having lower cholesterol, being thinner, having lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of heart disease. Benefits could be that it improves your mood, for example, because vegetarian diets are not high in arachidonic acid. If for example you have Psoriasis, then it may improve the symptoms.
Vegetarian diets are associated with a significant reduction in the case of diabetes. Apparently researches showed that there is a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Why? Because most vegetarian diets are full of foods that are rich in antioxidants.
There are no health benefits at all to eating animal fat. It should come as no surprise that when you remove it from your diet, you will also remove the detrimental effects it has on your health. Body fat and cholesterol levels are lower in vegetarians.
Eliminating animal protein consumption in favour of vegetables will result in a higher urine pH; whereas low urine pH has been associated with stone formation. If you think vegetarians and vegans are nutritionally deficient or always hungry, think again! A well designed vegetarian or vegan diet can be nutritionally sound and appropriate for all ages and stages of life, including infants, the elderly and even athletes.
Good health, reduced incidence of disease, and better management of existing health problems are all associated with following a vegetarian diet. In other words, I am so happy I started this journey. I feel that my body is changing. I feel more energetic. My nails and hair look good. The only thing I still struggle a bit with is to get the good protein sources. The great thing of this is also that I am learning every day.
Have a great week and think about it: it saves lives and on top of that, it’s healthy. What more do you want? Enjoy life, people!
