Do you eat a lot of meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you never eat fresh fruit and vegetables? Do you always snack on meat products on your break? If you do, then you may encounter serious health issues in the future! Here are 3 reasons why eating too much meat products are bad for you!
1. It takes longer to digest!
When you eat a lot of protein and meat, it takes significantly longer for your body to pass through and digest into your body. This is because meat takes a lot longer to break down in which the juices in your stomach and intestines will have to work much harder. In fact, it takes approximately three to four times longer for your body to break down meat compared to fruit or vegetables. When your body takes longer to digest food, it takes up more energy in your body. This will result in making you feel sluggish and tired constantly!
Also, when it takes longer to digest, it can clog up your bowels. People who have frequent bowel problems when they are older used to eat a lot of meat when they were young. So to keep your bowels healthy, eat more vegetables!
2. It gives you smelly body odor
Believe it or not, eating too much meat products will give you smell body odor. This is because when you eat a lot of protein (which meat contains a lot of), it produces more lactic acid in the body. When there is more lactic acid in the body, it gets sweated out into your skin pores. This lactic acid produces a putrid body smell which is body odor.
3. Eating meat is not natural
Archaeology and biology studies have found that the first prehistoric humans were vegetarians. They did not eat meat, but mostly on fruit and vegetables. Evidence of this way of eating is seen in gorillas in which they only eat fruit and vegetables. Gorillas have 99 per cent of our DNA and are thought to be one of prehistoric ancestors. So if you want to eat natural and healthy, it is best to avoid eating meat as much as possible!
Another evidence that we are not meat eaters is our teeth. Our teeth do not contain sharp canine teeth like meat eating animals such as tigers, rats, and many other carnivores. Our teeth are flat and round (molar looking teeth) which look likes giraffe, gorillas and other vegetarian animals.
