I am deeply moved after watching this video above. In one part, the video said, the business of slaughter will stop only when the demand for meat stops! Instead of arguing if meat is good for us or if eating greens will cause us to lose certain vitamins, why not go on a week's trial of meatless diet?
Take the challenge and see for yourself the changes.Let your results be the judge. I did it! I stopped eating meat last year and also my favourite coffee (kopi-C), dairy products (milk and egg) and now I am on a gluten free diet as well. I have not regretted that decision since and surprisingly have not suffered any withdrawal symptoms as I thought I would have. There are still many myths ongoing that says we need meat and eating vegetables alone cannot replace the vitamins, nutrients that meat can offer. I hope this article here would change your perspective towards going green in your diet (if not spare a thought for the animals above). Our local athletes, from bodybuilder to triatheletes had adopted a vegetaraian diet and are achieving great results without meat. Do you know that Moringa, probably the superfood of the 21st century beats all its peers in terms of vitamins, minerals and nutrients ? See the facts below. The entire plant, from its leaves, to its pods and seeds are edible and throughout Asia, it has been a staple diet among the Thais, Pinoys and the Indians as well. It is also the plant that receives the most research focus (more than 300 papers on one single plant) and many cosmetics company from Dior, The Body Shop, The Face Shop,etc have extracted the moringa oil to make into their best selling hair care products. Food and beverage companies like Pepsi, Nestle,etc too have jump on this bandwagon as well. Read article here and here. We may not be athletes like those featured in the article but going green as many worldwide has discovered gives them a renewed sense of energy, remove toxins in their body, have a healthier glow on their face and definitely become more productive at work. Wouldn't we all want to have that? With a healthier body, we can then pursue more leisure activities that make us happy, spend more times with our family and loved ones. Years later when we looked back, this could be one of the best decisions we ever made in our lives.

Dragon fruit - high in polyunsaturated fats, Vitamin C, carotene, protein, etc Grapes - no cholesterol, Vitamin C & K, antioxidants,etc Papaya - rich source of fiber, copper, magnesium plus other nutrients Coconut - highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Avocado - good source of pantothenic acid, dietary fiber, vitamin K, copper, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Water melon - contains significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, lots of lycopene, antioxidants and amino acids. Apricot - excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of pro-vitamin Acarotenoids), and a good source of vitamin C, copper, dietary fiber and potassium. Try both the dried apricot and fresh type. You could also sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of Moringa Pure Powder into the salad for its potent nutritional values ! Share this with the family and have a great bonding time!
