Animal or non-animal based diet?

[Louisabell]

Everytime you eat meat, you are wasting an opportunity to eat legumes.

Legumes are the stuff of life. Not only are they a good source of protein, but good sources of the minerals that are usually found in animal products (zinc, iron and calcium), very low GI carbs and powerful pre-biotics in the form of resistant starch. Science is now showing how important the microbiome in our gut is. To top it all off, they are great sources of anti-oxidants (meat has none), keeping you young and healthy.

They are good for the soil as they are nitrogen fixing AND so cheap, everyone in the world can live off of them. The blue zone populations that have the longest living peoples all have legumes as a significant portion of their diets.

So I ask, have you had your legumes today?
