The Healthiest Lifestyle – 27 September 2008

“Even if meat eaters are spared the big killers that their lifestyle is associated with (heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer), their diet may still be robbing them of everyday good health. A meat diet is sure to lead to nagging conditions and ailments. A whole-foods, high-fiber vegan diet full of grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes, is just the ticket to reduce arthritis pain, ease irritable-bowel disorders, mitigate common back pain, relieve cold and allergy symptoms, and lower risk for gallstones, kidney stones, and heartburn. But perhaps best of all, the vegan life is one free of constipation!”

For example, milk-drinkers who have lactose intolerance often have an unpleasant body odor, as well as bad breath. In one of my blogs I wrote about an acquaintance who had the tell-tale odor of a lactose intolerant milk-drinker. My husband tactfully explained this to him and, sure enough, his physician verified that this indeed was the cause: lactose intolerance.
