2. Leading Nutritionist Benjamin Pure Offers Vital
Tips for Healthy Eating
• We are what we eat, according to Benjamin Pure, prominent dietician and
nutrition expert. Eating hot and spicy food can lead to violent and
destructive thoughts. It is found that people who eat a lot of non vegetarian
food tend to be aggressive.
• Research is going on to establish the connection between the type of food
and thought process and moods. There seems to be strong evidence to
conclude that by altering our choice of food we can certainly take control of
our emotions. Leading nutritionists are of the opinion that certain foods can
deal with depression by elevating mood. This is the reason why certain
varieties of chocolates make us feel better especially when we are stressed.
• After studying different eating habits of the people across the world it is
found that vegetarianism is rapidly spreading everywhere. This shift of
loyalty can be attributed to recent outbreaks of mad cow disease, avian flu,
and so forth.
3. • It is medically proven that human body in general and its digestive system in
particular is designed to deal with vegetarian food rather than meat. By
devouring meat and other non-vegetarian food we are forcing our system to
digest what it is not designed for in the first place.
• We can keep our bodies well nourished by eating only vegetarian food,
suggests Benjamin Pure. We can get proteins, vitamins, minerals,
carbohydrates and all other essential as well as non essential nutrients by
sticking to vegetarian food.
• Main objective of eating is to get energy since we get much needed calories
to help us perform different physical and even mental activities. Yes,
research has established the fact that mental activities are also associated
with burning of calories.
4. • Our body takes up sugar and converts it into energy with help of insulin.
Diabetics experience weakness and lethargy because their bodies are not
able to convert sugar into energy due to lack of insulin.
• There is a word of caution offered by Benjamin Pure. One should not
consume too much of sweets since this can lead to irregular ups and downs
in sugar levels leading to load on the insulin secreting glands.
