Healthy Eating Diets
Can a meat-eating diet be just as healthy as a vegan one?
I just want to know, because there are many vegans who claim that they eat healthy and yet I know that I eat healthier than them. I exercise, I eat fast food and drink soda minimally, I try to eat whole-wheat, and even if I eat junk two or three times a week it won’t kill me – I exercise so I’m healthy.
So can you answer my question?
Actually, yes. One thing you can always count on, as far as your health is concerned, is that you will ALWAYS be damned if you do, damned if you don’t, because EVERYBODY, expert and not, will always have different opinions about what’s good for people and what isn’t. Then, some of those same people will, ten years later, recant their views for different views. No matter what you eat or how you live, there will always be someone out there somewhere saying that something you’re eating or doing is good and someone else out there saying it’s bad. You’re never going to get it all perfectly right in anyone’s eyes no matter what you do so it doesn’t make sense to kill yourself trying. It is quite important to a healthy body to have healthy fuel, that is food, but food is also about enjoyment. Certainly you shouldn’t gorge yourself in anything high fat or high calorie like fast food/junk food, but small amounts are fine and are not going to kill you. You should take good care of your health, eat smart and exercise the right way, but good health is about much more than just diet. Genetics, environment, emotions, all these things affect a person’s health. The most important thing in life is to be happy and enjoy yourself. If that means being on a vegan diet, that’s great. If it means eating moderate amounts of meat and an occassional ice cream sundae or candy bar, that’s perfectly fine too. You don’t have to be a vegan to be healthy. The most important thing you can do to know if you’re maintaining good health is to listen to your body. Do you have high blood pressure or cholesterol? Do you feel energetic most of the time or sluggish? Whatever your diet and lifestyle, it’s your body itself that will indicate whether or not you are truly healthy. Just remember, whatever you eat, moderation is the key to everything.
