A new study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that people who regularly consume red meat have a higher rate of “type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers” and, simply put, die younger.

The study also found that consuming healthier sources of protein, such as fish, nuts, and legumes, was “associated with a lower risk of mortality.”

How many more studies need to be published to convince us that eating a highly acidic diet containing processed foods, red meat, dairy, refined sugars, soda and copious amounts of caffeine leads to:
Weight Gain/Obesity
Low energy levels
Depression
Coronary illness/diabetes/cancer and other illnesses
…to name a few.

Time to take back in control of your life by eating a plant rich diet. This doesn’t mean you have to give up eating animal protein. It means when you do eat it, do so infrequently with a small portion size.

For many of us, it’s very difficult to transition from eating a highly processed, meat abundant diet into a plant rich diet.  Many question if you’ll get enough protein. Yes, you will.

The best way to make this transformation is to reboot your system by doing a sensible raw juice cleanse in which you eat plant rich foods throughout the cleanse. Try it for 5 days and see how energetic, balanced and in control you feel.
