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.

Start A Healthy Life Today

By Marcus Werthan

Starting on Monday I will change my life! I will begin eating only healthy food and no more cigarettes and alcohol for me! Does this sound familiar? I bet it does. There are so many of us who doesnt have such healthy habits as we wish. And changing is hard. Nevertheless, in order to live longer and happier we must do those changes!

Of course, you will start considering a diet. But they seem so many. Some of them say that you will see the result in just a month. Others, in just a couple of weeks. These sound great, but what about the side effects? Maybe they will work. Still you have to consider the marks that they will leave.

Losing too much weight in a short time can leave numerous marks over your body, like cellulite, hair loss, furrows, skin aging, irritations, fall of the immune system. All of these wont show up during the diet, but they will after a while. That is why choosing the right diet that best suites your body is essential.

It is hard to make your own decision when it comes to the changes you make to your body. That is way, a nutritionist that is specialized in diets and eating habits, is the person you must take advices from. You may think that you should eat just a few things when keeping a diet, but your body also need proteins, fat acids or carbohydrates, depending on your body. It is considered safe to loose between 4 and 6 pounds a month.

The things that are safe to do, even without the advice of a nutritionist, is eating ecological food and making exercises every day. A lot of diseases can be prevented with this type of living. Its a must that your every day meal contains fruits, vegetables and cereals. Instead of using sunflower oil, try preparing your food with olive oil. Fish is another product that should be consumed twice a week because it helps the cholesterol to have a normal value.

Above all eating rules, there is one rule that no one should dismiss: doing physical exercises. Your body needs to burn all the calories and to absorb the healthy elements from food. Dont let your digestive system do this all alone. Start jogging. Or swimming. Or go to the gym once in a while. If these seem to much, you can at least make time for a long walk every day. You will notice that you will begin smileing with your whole body.

We all live in a world where the time seems to shrink every day, where our job is consuming all of our resources, but without a healthy way of living, we wont survive for long. Find a source of energy and dont let yourself trapped in rutine. Live healthy to be healthy.
