Say no to drugs by saying yes to more plants
Been on a plant based diet for over 4 months. Feel great, and I can lift a little more at the gym. I jumped on it because of tremors. A few of the old relatives have the shakes, at about 60 I started getting it. I found a study that said meat could be the cause. I have not had any shaking in the last 2 months or so, meat eaters have a 20 fold chance of developing tremors in old age, smoking only gives 13 fold increase in chance of cancer.
Last night we had an Indian chili made of black beans, corn, onion, garlic, celery, jalepeno, yellow bell pepper, tomato, and lots of Indian spices, it was hot. With that we had an avocado, spinich salad, whole grain toast with cilantro pesto, a bottle of ale, for desert a bowl of blueberries and yogurt and after I washed the pots and pans, some hazelnuts. And, a B12.
Take B12 if you go off meat, and vit. D if your off dairy and not getting much sun, otherwise you got everything you need as long as you eat a varitey, we eat everything but coconuts and parsnips, a hugh varitey of all kinds of beans and exotic grains, fruit, vegi's.
Cleans the blood up, reduces weight, stops gout, diabetes, slows aging, and people on plant based diet do not get constipated so reduces hemorrhoids, skin trouble, allergies, the list drags on and on. So, do the meatless monday thing, then add another day, and another.

I admire you for what you are doing - I have pretty much shunned red meat myself.

Ron,
ReplyDeleteStart dividing the chicken or what ever meat you buy into smaller portions, you won't miss it in slightly smaller amounts. Thats what we did before we stopped altogether. Buy a package of two chicken breast cut them in half, we had 4 servings. Freeze some of it or cook it and freeze that, you got a meal waiting for the microwave.
