Some try to <strong>save the lives of animals<\/strong>&nbsp; with this approach, others are interested in the <strong>ecological<\/strong> <strong>aspect<\/strong> and some simply do not like the <strong>taste<\/strong> of meat and animal products.

What has changed, however, is the amount of meat we eat each year as a society and the way we treat animals. Mass breeding, slaughter and the general treatment of animals is increasingly described as <strong>unethical, inhumane, and quality is often<\/strong> <strong>undermined at the expense of quantity, even as welfare of animals is gradually being taken into account<\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Eliminating&nbsp;animal&nbsp;products&nbsp;is&nbsp;one&nbsp;option,&nbsp;but&nbsp;a&nbsp;less&nbsp;radical&nbsp;option&nbsp;may&nbsp;be&nbsp;to&nbsp;start&nbsp;by&nbsp;<strong>tracking&nbsp;the&nbsp;origin&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;food&nbsp;you&nbsp;buy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wonder where the animals were kept?

Equally, the quality of eggs differs from hall laying hens from and free-range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find out what the animals were fed<\/strong>.

Ecological viewpoint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not be surprised to learn that the <strong>meat industry&nbsp;produces huge amounts of greenhouse gases<\/strong>. High meat production is also one of the main causes of <strong>biodiversity reduction and extinction,<\/strong> for example due to the felling of indigenous forests. Unfortunately, this is not the only problem. For example, did you know that <strong>15 500 litres of water is used to produce 1 kg of beef?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[2-5]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As&nbsp;far&nbsp;as&nbsp;food&nbsp;production&nbsp;is&nbsp;concerned,&nbsp;meat&nbsp;products&nbsp;also&nbsp;have&nbsp;the&nbsp;<strong>highest&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;footprint<\/strong>, i.e. the amount of greenhouse&nbsp;gases produced throughout the cycle of a particular food &#8211; from production to processing, transport to disposal of its packaging. The carbon footprint has a <strong>negative impact on climate change, air pollution and the like<\/strong>. For comparison, the carbon footprint of 1 kg of beef or sheep meat is around 36 kg of CO2, for legumes or vegan meat substitutes it is 1-5 kg of CO2 at the same amount. And that&#8217;s a big difference, don&#8217;t you think? You can reduce it just by <strong>buying meat from local farmers<\/strong>. Even if the difference isn&#8217;t so great, every effort counts. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[6-7]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"style\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link data-no-optimize=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n\n    <h2>\n        You might be interested in these products:    <\/h2>\n\n    <div data-app=\"recommended\" data-products=\"30271,28689,8665,28693,28693,48508,48496,36625,53185,53113,7471,30947,6624,37996,49804,62785,56566,56392,56833,63664\" ><\/div>\n\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\"><\/script>\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">3. Health viewpoint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the results of the studies, vegetarian and vegan&nbsp;diets have a <strong>positive effect on lowering BMI, cholesterol or blood<\/strong> <strong>sugar<\/strong>. At the same time, statistically significant differences in <strong>cancer and cardiovascular mortality rates<\/strong> were also shown in favour of vegetarians and vegans compared to people who consumed meat and other animal products. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[8]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But these results, too, need to be treated critically and not to draw conclusions that animal products are the cause of all evil. If we were to compare a person who doesn&#8217;t move much and eats fatty meat every day with a vegan who keeps his diet balanced and maintains an active lifestyle, he&#8217;d probably be a healthier vegan. However, this is <strong>not<\/strong> <strong>proof that animal products are harmful<\/strong>. The issue needs to be seen in an overall context, not just individual data taken out of context. If we want to do what&#8217;s best for our health, we should focus on a healthy, rational diet. And it&#8217;s up to us whether or not meat and animal products are part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of the studies may also be due to the fact that if animal products are discarded, your <strong>choice of foods you consume will be reduced<\/strong>. <strong>Energy density<\/strong> <strong>of food<\/strong> can also play a role. When we focus on the calorie content of the same amount of a vegan diet and typical Western diet, we find that the <strong>vegan diet is usually less caloric<\/strong>. This can also lead to a more balanced energy intake for vegans, possibly weight loss, with which a reduction in health risks goes hand in hand. After all, there&#8217;s a difference between having a <strong>banana or a hot dog<\/strong> as a quick snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">4.

You may be surprised, however, that we include <strong>soya or peanuts<\/strong>. This group of foods is typically rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins, fibre and minerals such as phosphorus or calcium. Conversely, leguminous vegetables usually do not have a high fat content. Thanks to the combination of fibre and protein they have a <strong>high satiating effect<\/strong>, which is ideal especially for people who want to lose weight. However, leguminous vegetables have a less favourable amino acid spectrum (for example, due to low methionine &#8211; the so-called limit amino acid) and thus it is recommended to supplement them with additional sources of protein. Cereals, for example, or nuts and seeds, which are rich in this limit amino acid, can serve this purpose perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;advantage&nbsp;of&nbsp;leguminous&nbsp;vegetables&nbsp;is&nbsp;that&nbsp;they&nbsp;are&nbsp;gluten-free,&nbsp;so&nbsp;people&nbsp;who&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;problem&nbsp;digesting&nbsp;gluten&nbsp;need&nbsp;not&nbsp;fear&nbsp;their&nbsp;consumption.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[9]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\" id=\"red-lentils\">1.
