Proactive Health Labs Meatless Monday: how to improve your health drastically one Monday at a time
What is Meatless Monday? In a nutshell, it is exactly what it sounds like: not eating meat on Mondays. Also, it is a global public health campaign, with 44 countries currently participating.
Benefit of Cutting Back on Meat Each additional daily serving of red meat increased the risk of death by 13%. The impact rose to 20% if the serving was processed, as in food items like hot dogs, bacon, and cold cuts. Replacing animal protein with plant protein lowers mortality.
What to do? The Daily Value of protein is 50 grams based on a 2,000-calorie diet according to the Mayo Clinic. Adults generally need about 5 ½ ounces of proteins a day — and remember you can choose from more than meat.
Is Meatless Monday for you if you like to eat meat every day? Don’t think of going meatless as depriving yourself. Use Meatless Monday as an opportunity to explore and use plant-based foods in ways you never have before. You can make it fun!
Meatless Protein Sources Non-animal sources of protein are including quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, beans, amaranth, oats, buckwheat and more. And if you can make a habit of making antioxidant-rich, inflammation and disease-fighting fruits and veggies the star of your plate, you will help lower your risk of developing some of the most life-threatening diseases.
