Four Different Eating Lifestyles

Below is a list of four different lifestyle diets. I want people who are contemplating about ways to improve their diet to learn about fruitarianism, veganism, vegetarianism, and pescetarianism. A doctor’s consultant is highly recommended when choosing one of these eating lifestyles.

Fruitarian

Fruitarians are known for being mostly skinny. In this eating lifestyle, people consume food that comes naturally from plants. Fruitarians do not eat meat or dairy products.They eat mostly seeds and nuts. Over 71% of fruit is consumed in their bodies on a daily basis.The other botanical foods they consume are chocolate, beans, raw fruits, dried fruits, honey, and olive oil. Fruitarians follow this eating lifestyle because of environmental, religion, ethical, and cultural issues. This eating lifestyle is stricter than veganism and vegetarianism.

Vegans

Vegans are known for cutting out all animal products from their eating lifestyle. Abstaining from eating animal products includes meat and dairy products. Some of the foods vegans can not eat are certain types of sugars, gummy bears, soy cheese, red foods, and salads and dressings, and peanuts. These foods cut in the guidelines of a vegan lifestyle.

Vegan beginners should not purchase foods from any convenience stores. Instead, vegan beginners should take a stroll down the produce sections. The produce sections feature farm produced food and crops. Some farm produced goods and crops are beans, beets, bananas, carrots, and spinach. Vegans can only eat organic eggs. Organic eggs come from chickens that are raised in cage free conditions and fed a healthy diet.

Vegetarians

Vegetarians are known for not eating meat or any other animal produced foods. The reason for a person choosing to become a vegetarian could be because of their morals, religious practice, or health reasons. Some people shape their morals around not supporting foods that were made by harming animals. In the Jainism religion, the vegetarian lifestyle is strongly required. In Buddhism and Hinduism, some religious leaders and scriptures suggest adapting vegetarianism as an daily eating lifestyle. Some people who are obese or develop diabetes may become vegetarians. Doctors could encourage patients to become vegetarians.

A typical vegetarian breakfast may consist of cereal with soy or rice milk, oatmeal with sliced fruit, baked beans on toast, toast or a bagel with peanut butter, fresh fruit with a soy yogurt, and a smoothie blended with possible fruits (oranges, berries, and frozen banana chunks). Some nutritionists suggest adding peanut butter or protein powder to the smoothie.

Pescatarian

Pescetarians are basically vegetarians who also eat fish. A pescatarian’s grocery list will also consist of fruit, grains, and vegetables. Fish consumption contributes to eye health, supports healthy joints, prevents depression, improves lung health, increases fertility, boosts brainpower, reduces the risk for Alzheimer's and dementia, helps promote healthy hair and skin, enhances circulation, protects against inflammatory diseases, and promotes a healthy heart. Also, fish and seafood have loads of iron. Lower levels of iron can lead to diabetes and other health issues. Pescatarians have a lower chance of developing iron deficiency anemia. A pescatarian’s grocery list will consist of foods such as fish. Some types of fish include tuna and salmon, trout, whitefish, sardines, fish roe. Fish roe is also known as caviar.

These four lifestyle diets will help a person looking to change their daily eating lifestyle.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
