The Vegan Lifestyle

Some people are not aware that fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are best for excellent health. Most of us are deprived of the many health benefits from fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables because of our lack of knowledge.  Probably our parents were carnivorous, and we were influenced by them.

And worse, farmers would sell their fruits and vegetables to buy pork, beef or mutton in the market. They exchanged their nutritious food to the toxic and decaying flesh meats of dead animals! They sell their tubers or root crops to buy bread and other processed foods that are mixed with harmful substances and are dangerous to the body!

It is the desire of us all to be in good health always. When we are sick and bedridden, we lose our money on medicines, hospital bills, and doctor’s fee. We incur a lot of absences from work, and if unlucky, we lost our job.

Good health is very important to everyone. All material wealth is nothing without good health. Million dollars are useless to a tycoon who is sick with incurable, terminal disease!

It is therefore very important that we strive to be healthy. If we abhor vegetables and have not eaten them yet in our life, it is high time to try it now. The unfavorable taste is just in the beginning – you will adjust and get used to it sooner. It only takes the will, determination, and discipline to do it.

Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are best for excellent health because of the following reasons:

1. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are the original food that God has given to man for his sustenance. As an omniscient God, he knows what is best for us, and he won’t give us lesser than that being our Maker and Owner of our lives whose loving kindness and tender mercy endure forever and ever.
2. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are rich in phytonutrients that have excellent healing powers for all diseases including cancers.
3. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables supply the body all the essential nutrients needed for excellent health. They are rich sources of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals in most precise balance. Contrary to most beliefs, vitamin B12 is also found in vegetables. Spirulina, and other seaweeds are rich sources of vitamin B12. There is nothing to worry of becoming anemic when you are vegetarian. In fact, the heme of the chlorophyll in all leafy green vegetables has magnesium which is converted in the body into iron for the production of red blood cells.
4. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables have light proteins that are easily digested and assimilated by the body. Flesh meats, on the other hand, have hard-to-digest heavy proteins that can putrefy in the body and cause various diseases.
5. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are rich in powerful antioxidants. One of these antioxidants is the amazing resveratrol or oligomeric proanthocyanidins from grape seeds that programs cancer cells to self-destruct. Eating fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables protects our body from the free radical damages due to environmental pollutants and stress.

Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables are best for excellent health. God did not and cannot go wrong when he created fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables as man’s best diet. The various proven health benefits attested by hundreds of testimonies are proofs that fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetable are best for excellent health.
