    THE GREAT HEALTH DEBATE :: Meat Diet? Vegan Diet?

    March 2, 2011 By Bro

    Meaty Diet or Vegan Diet?
    Why There Is Really NO Great Health
    Debates Between Health Diets

    Don't Eat That - It's Not Good For You!

    Don't Eat That - It's Not Good For You!

    What I’m going to say may be a bit controversial…
     
    What Are The Great Health Debates?
    Kevin Gianni has hosted a series of Great Health Debates that mostly dealt with vegan vs. meat inclusive diets. The debaters and speakers included Joseph Mercola, T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Jonny Bowden, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Robert O. Young, Donna Gates, Mark Sisson, Frederic Patenaude, Will Tuttle, Sally Fallon, amongst several others.

    Argument Specifics
    Basically the argument boils down to the question, which is healthier – a meaty diet or a vegetarian diet? And, how much meat and animal product can be eaten without health repurcussions?

    These group of experts and health advocates agree that eating more vegetables is a good thing. However, some like fruit, others do not. Some like a little meat, others like none. Some believe eggs and dairy products are okay. Others believe they are unnecessary.

    So is there a single diet that’s best for everyone?
    Or is everyone so different that one has to choose from a million different diets to find out what works for him or her?

    Here’s the conversial part…

    There Is No Debate, Actually…

    I don’t believe there really is a debate. The truth be known, we humans (fancy monkeys with enlarged frontal lobes and long fingered paws) basically take in FOOD that BECOMES SUGARS and a very small amount of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients in our bodies.

    So what we eat is not so important as something else which I shall discuss below.

    The Basics…

    That’s it. We could pretty much live on sugars, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace nutrients and fiber, as long as we keep our internal bacteria happy and our guts moving and motile.

    RAW vs. COOKED

    Someone may ask, what about eating fresh RAW fruits and vegetables as opposed to cooked? What’s so good about THEM?

    Fresh raw organic produce contains the purest of waters along with a variety of enzymes and easily available nutrients that aid in their own assimilation by our digestive systems.

    The Most Important Secret of All

    It’s the assimilation of your food that’s so important, even more so than the type of food. It’s all about our ability to digest and absorb. Some of us are able to absorb easily. Others, not so much.

    Raw juices are easier to absorb. Long simmered foods are easily assimilated, although the basic molecular structure of certain nutritional factors have been altered by heating. However, long cooked foods retain their sugar, minerals and percentage of non-heat sensitive nutrients.

    Of course, the basic building blocks and nutrients must be there in proper proportion.

     


     

    ARGUMENTS ASIDE, THE OPTIMAL DIET


    What Does It All Boil Down To, Cooking Aside?

    It all boils down to sugars, acids, trace elements, bulk.

    Let’s look at Kentucky race horses. Kentucky horse breeders know all about nutrition. They have learned to breed and feed horses such that all are healthy, glowing and beautiful, almost to a one. And you can do the same for humans if you wanted.

    You could feed most all humans one sort of diet and most all would thrive.

    You could even feed humans a highly processed liquid and pill diet and they would do well. Or, you can feed them a raw, vegetarian diet and they would thrive as well.

    What About Meat?
    Occasional meat? No harm… animals do die and eating them on occasion does no harm. But live on a factory farmed meat diet? Insane.

    Meat eaters do NOT live as long and healthily as proper vegan eaters. Why is that? Simple. It’s a tougher life and the human gut was not designed for massive flesh eating. Our long guts do relatively poorly with meat digestion as opposed to a plant diet, AND the parasite load that natural meat eating brings can be problematic.

    Again… carnivores die quicker. Omnivores die quicker. Vegetarians live longer (unless they are eaten by carnivores of course.)

    Humans were designed to eat fruit, sprouts, shoots, bugs, grubs, honey, sprouted seeds, fresh nuts, berries, dates, some eggs, some dairy, OCCASIONAL blood, meat, milk, bone, but little if any is truly necessary.

    BUT WE CAN LIVE ON LIQUID BLOOD AND MILK if we have to, and fairly well. WE ARE VERSATILE creatures.

    EVERYTHING becomes basically sugar in our gut. It’s a simple as that.

    BEST DIET
    First, check your digestion. Do you digest well? Do you have healthy elimination? Do you have bad breath? Stomach or gut complaints? Tired after eating? Acid burn? Continually hungry? Overweight? Underweight?

    You can take digestive enzymes if you need them. Or, eat predigested (properly cultured) foods. Predigested foods are more easily and quickly assimilated.

    Most people at later ages develop digestion problems. Blame this on the rediculous modern processed diet that is pushed SOLELY for MAXIMUM profit, not health benefits.

    Second, you can do juices. They are easier to absorb. Smoothies are not nearly as easy to absorb. Always take your juices first, preferably on an empty stomach.

    Third, balance in most all things. Do what successful societies have done forever – nice variety of LOCAL ORGANIC CROPS along with healthy activities and a pleasant sense of community. Obtain soil grown crops over the more processed and controlled hydroponic foods which are grown by solution and missing soil bacteria and bio-available elements so abundant in healthy soil.

    MOST IMPORTANT: DIGESTION AND ASSIMILATION, MOOD, ACTIVITY, COMMUNITY.

    Final Note…
    Eat the BEST QUALITY ORGANIC SOIL GROWN FOODS YOU CAN GET. You receive just one body. Treat it and use it wisely.
