Meat is the New Tobacco?
I am not ready to go to that extreme, nor do I think it is necessary for perfect health, yet...
Unfortunately, there is some rather shocking research coming to light, which finds that the PROTEIN from animals is highly linked with various cancers, especially prostate and breast cancers.
Below is a trailer to a really INTERESTING documentary that discusses lots of SURPRISING research. One of the lead research physicians is right out of the CLEVELAND Clinic! Dr Caldwell Esselstyn's website is called www.heartattackproofdiet.com and his book is called Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease which includes lots of yummy recipes!
Forks Over Knives DVD
The movie also has a great FACEBOOK page -- CLICK for it HERE! It has lots of great information -- articles, events, testimonies, and more! If you're thinking of changing to a more plant based diet, this is a wonderful resource, and possibly even support system!
If you prefer books, The China Study by Dr T Colin Campbell would be a great place to start!
Dr Campbell has a great website -- so much helpful info on the topic of plant-based eating! This was one cool tid-bit I'd like to share:
"A growing number of the world's top athletes eat a plant-based diet, including Carl Lewis, Tony Gonzales, and Brenden Brazier."
Also, Dr Esselstyn's son, Rip Esselstyn has popularized a plant-based diet called Engine 2 Diet, as he took up the career of firefighting and improved the health of those he works with, and since many, many others! Rip's photo is shown at top of post :)
Here are some MEATLESS options you can try!
Baked Tomato and Guacamole Pizza (without the chicken -- we often skip it for this pizza!)
Mexican Fiesta Bowl (without chicken! -- again, we make it this way OFTEN!)
Try your very OWN chili without the meat -- just add some extra beans! Easy as that!
Truffle Treo -- add some beans, and perhaps rice for a delicious meal!
