This morning I made friend’s with santaram, who is another MyBlogLog member. He has a Great blog called Health Corner, healthy tips, surgeries, thyroid, home remedies ayurveda.

Sabro has written an informative simple outline of some benefits of being vegetarian.

From his blog…

“Vegetarians have lower rates of some cancers, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and non-insulin-dependent diabetes. A study of nearly 2,000 vegetarians and part-time vegetarians conducted by German cancer researchers found eating little or no meat cut death rates from heart and circulatory disease in half and deaths from cancer by 25 to 50 percent.”

Along with these health benefits there is another benefit to being vegetarian. This other benefit I learned from Parmahansa Yogananda.

It is really pretty basic and logical once you think about it. That is, it takes energy for our bodies to digest food. It takes energy to dive deep in meditation.

Meat takes much more energy and time to digest, thus, less energy for diving deeper into meditation.

Something else I learned from Yogananda is that our bodies were not made for digesting meat, humans are vegetarians, not meat eaters. Our teeth, stomach and intestines were designed like those of vegetarian animals. Whoe, very interesting ! This fascinated me !

Here is a weight losing tip. Stop eating when you Feel that you are Starting to get full. Simple information that works, takes practice.

I have found truth in this advice through my own practice, knowing comes through ones own practice, the true testing ground.

Note - Allways being our own best friend, when we are exploring and practicing new things.

When we notice we are off track, just get back on, and keep going.

I have a brand new friend on Flickr, who has a blog with some Wonderful picture’s of vegetarian meals, ???? ?’s Blog.
Have Fun !!!******

Many Blessing’s My Friend’z !!!******
