I am by no means a doctor but I try to stay up to date on "What is good for me and my family" and the dangers of certain foods. As a vegetarian a lot of studies do not include me because I haven't had meat in 16 years. However, I love fitness and living a healthy lifestyle so I want to know answers when someone says "WHY" shouldn't I do this or that.
So here is the first article I wanted to share with you guys. Why you shouldn't be eating red meat and especially hot dogs!
Eating red meat daily increases your chance of early death by 13percent. Eating processed meat everyday such as hot dogs or even just 2 slices of bacon can increase your chance of premature death by 20percent!
Oddly enough this quote came out
"Hot dogs are part of a balanced diet." - Janet Riley, senior vice president of public affairs for the American Meat Institute.
So please do your research, and find out the truth and do not rely on big corporations for your information!
It seems that they discovered replacing red meat with other foods such as nuts and legumes could decrease your risk of premature death by 14-19percent!
In the US alone we spend 2.6 trillion on healthcare each year, maybe some of these small changes will save us that trip to the hospital for cardiac arrest,cancer,diabetes and so much more.
Please read these articles if you have specific questions!
