People frequently ask us if we are vegetarian. They often tell us that they’ve heard that vegetarians have more energy and are healthier so they assume that based on our lifestyles, we would live this way. For the most part, we do prefer to eat fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains because they make us feel healthy and energetic. The truth is that all of us should be making three quarters of our plates’ vegetarian, since it’s better for our health.

Here are some perks you’ll enjoy when eating more like a vegetarian:

• Eat more vitamins and minerals, staying young with antioxidants.
• Eat more healthy fats, like unsaturated fats, which are good for your skin.
• Avoid bad fats like cholesterol & saturated fats which weigh you down.
• You will get more fiber, which make you feel fuller longer.
• Stay hydrated with the natural fluids found in fruits and vegetables

Those who choose to eat vegetarian have their reasons, but the truth is that it can be delicious and beneficial to your health in so many ways. Start out with a meatless Monday routine and take note of how much lighter you feel. Boost your energy and feel great!
