Wellness In Your Food

Vegetarianism is good for the body, the mind, the earth and the universe. This does not mean that animal products are not good. There were times on earth where it was necessary for humans to eat animal products. It is not the animal and the animal products that are toxic, it is the production and the requirements of the production that are detrimental for the body and the earth. Nowadays it is the production of animal products in such large quantities that are detrimental for the earth and its resources. Hence, unless animal products are not from natural farming, it is better to leave it aside and concentrate on the plants and vegetables world. This could include personal farming in the backyard of the house even in urban settings. Being vegetarian enhances the body ability to generate its own health. Vegetarianism includes nuts and seeds which bring essential minerals to the body.
