Thank you for your visit and comment – and no problem about your English :)

Vegetarians and Vegans have existed on this plant for hundreds and even thousands of years, including some of the great Greek Philosophers and ancient Indian teachers, just to name a few.

Today’s research very clearly proves the benefits of plant-based diets, and as long as one is doing it in a healthy, balanced way, the health benefits are immediately obvious.

Our dependancy and obsession with meat and animal products is actually quite a new phenomenon, as never in human history have humans relied so much on animal products. We see the consequences of that in our health and weight issues today.

We can also look at our closest animal relatives, who almost all consume a completely plant based diet – and grow big and strong, still.

I can speak from personal experience too, that I have never felt better or been healthier – to the point of not getting even the common cold, for over the past 2 years when I started eating a plant-only diet.

And of course, fat is a necessary component of a healthy organism, but it all depends on healthy fat. There are amazing fat sources from plant foods like: avocado, coconut oil, nuts and seeds. Fish indeed used to be the most healthiest animal meat one could say, that is until the fact that today most of them have more heavy metal and chemical contamination, than health benefits.

So a lot more goes into this discussion indeed. If one truly wants the benefits of meat today, they need to be getting that meat from wild meat, or a local, organic, trusted farmer – and eat it as a side to the main part of the meal, not as the main part like most people do.

Another point you didn’t mentionate is the “Increase corporal metabolism”. As you know, a quick metabolism would help you to lose all the bad fat and it will let you to keep a good level of sugar in your blood.

There are some ways to increase your body metabolism, but i guess you will touch this point in another topic ;) BTW, I am sorry for my bad english, I am still learning.

A lack of sleep can cause all sorts of health problems, but it is not directly related to causing strokes. Strokes are most common due to poor diet choices and stress, or blood clotting problems.

Of course the less one sleeps, the more stress can be accumulated in the body and this can accelerate all sorts of problems. But again, there is normally no direct link between lack of sleep and strokes.

Hope that helps, please let me know if you have other questions.

Those 3 questions you posed are ones I began asking myself. The writing was on the wall, so to speak, and I knew what I was going to be looking at down the road. It was like playing Russian roulette. Crazy.

I made the decision to make my health my number one priority and that, as you know, meant some BIG changes.

I am so moved Hanlie by the fact that really making health a priority is a tough thing for most people in our society. I learned this very early on in life, and at first it baffled me, as I used to think “How can you not want to do everything to be healthy?” Well today I neither judge nor question the reasons why people do what they do. We all have our reasons, but what I do do is ask people to question themselves. For I know that society makes us very unconscious and when we infuse moments of consciousness, of questioning for ourselves, we usually do get good answers back and often snap out of unconscious habits or patterns that do not serve us.

And I am so happy to hear that you got your answers too. Hence today, I just want to keep spreading awareness and let each person take from it what they need, or want. In the end we all have to be accountable to and for ourselves.
