Quickly answer this question: what is the first food at the base of the bodybuilders' diet? You've probably said "the meat" because, after all, we've always learned that protein is the key to having big muscles. Still, you don't need to eat any animal products to have a body that lifts hundreds of pounds together.
He demonstrates this with his enviable physique body builder Jim Morris, who is now 78, became a vegetarian at 50 and a vegan at 65. Chosen as testimonial for a new Peta campaign (he is the oldest face given to the "cause"), the former bodybuilder, gay and vegan, confirms that he has to thank the diet free of animal derivatives to still be alive and in great shape.
"I would not be here and I would not be in this condition if I continued to eat as I did," he says in a video, in which he speaks with contempt of milk and emphasizes theusefulness of fruit, legumes and cereals that you ingest every day. Her health improved after she retired from competitive bodybuilding in 1985, becoming a vegetarian first and later vegan.
"The proteins in products of animal origin they are loaded with fats and chemicals and all sorts of bad stuff. When I was competing, I swallowed all that kind of stuff and I had a lot of digestive problems. I was constipated and bloated and felt bad all the time, ”continues Morris.
Now, however, he feels better than ever, and thinks that all those who consume meat and dairy products can experience the same feeling of mental and physical well-being. “Milk is for puppies. Human beings, as far as I know, they are the only creatures that continue to drink milk even after they have been weaned. I think a lot of people don't realize how much better they would feel if they stopped drinking milk and consuming all animal products ”.
Indeed, how to blame him: People who go vegan not only help their health, but drastically reduce carbon emissions and save animals from immense suffering in factory farms and slaughterhouses.
