Vegetarian Means Vegan, Right?

Actually vegetarians tend to differ from what Vegans consider themselves to be. The exact reasons for why, evade me at the moment.

I eat plenty of vegetables but also enjoy eggs so I think this means I may be a vegetarian but I am not a vegan because eggs are not on their menu. I need to watch my calories and weight.

Veganism, if I may, seems to be more like a religion than just a healthy eating regime. I think the term is applied to not only eggs but even to wearing things that may have once been alive, like leather.

I have no feelings on this one way or another and think our life choices are just that, our life choices.

Reasons Why Physically Active People with Food Intolerance Issues Need Acai Berry

By Juanita Jenkins

As we get older, people seem to have delayed reactions to various foods and beverages. Even food additives can contribute to food intolerance. If you haven't heard about this before, it's simply the way your organs and body are affected by foods. Even though this can be irritating, it has no direct relation to the immune system. When you're having a problem like this, it's because your body doesn't have the enzymes and chemicals to digest food properly. Then again, it could be because of the chemicals in the food as well. Whatever the case may be, it's still different from having a food allergy.

Unfortunately with food intolerance you will experience several symptoms along the way, like:

Abdominal Pains Asthma Arthritis Bloating Constipation Chronic Fatigue Symptoms Diarrhea Eczema Fatigue IBS Fluid Retention Headaches Lethargy M.E. Migraine or Nausea Rashes Restless Leg Syndrome Rhinitis or Sinusitis Skin Problems Stomach Cramps and Tension Urticaria Weight Loss Wheezing

A lot of these symptoms really can disturb the daily lives of people, especially when they are the physically active type or athletes for that matter. But if you truly are an active person and suffering from food intolerance and want to get rid of it then it might help you to try the super food called Acai berry.

Acai berry is a small, round and blackish-purple berry that can only be found on top of palm trees in the Amazon rain forest of Southern America. The fruit taste like a mix of berries and chocolate and is believed to have incredible nutritional and medicinal properties. The berry has the most complete range of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids such as Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin C and E. It also contains the important unsaturated fatty acids of Omega 6 and 9, Sterols, Anthocyanin, Phytosterols and proteins.

Above all else, the Acai berry is well known for its large source of anti-oxidants. It's believed to have 10 times the amount as blueberries, and even more than thirty times as much as red wine. So if you're looking for something that delivers a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbs, healthy fats, you don't need to look any further.

You're probably sitting there asking the computer screen, "Well what does this have to do with food intolerance?" Honestly, that's a great question, but one that is easy to answer. When you add the Acai to your diet you will get a good amount of fiber to eliminate those digestive problems. Plus, the addition of Omega 6 and Omega 9 help get rid of high cholesterol levels and keep a balanced number.

If you need a little testimony, the first place most people look is around athletes. Many of them prefer the Acai berry because it's a natural source of nutrition. This has been extremely important over the last few years of steroid drama. In fact, they're even dropping the protein bars and shakes for a more appropriate snack that contains plenty of Acai berry. When it's part of your diet you'll be able to expect longer stamina and continuous boosts of energy.

The point is if you're living in an active world and suffer from food intolerance it's time to try the Acai berry. While we could sit here and tell you about all the benefits for eternity, you won't understand it until your body experiences it.
