In a cartoon, a large man asks a thin man, "Where do you get your protein?" This highlights a common misconception that body size determines health. In reality, body size doesn’t equate to well-being.

To become vegetarian, start by learning about healthy protein sources. Proteins, made of amino acids, are essential for tissue repair, muscle building, and supporting metabolism. They help with healing, maintaining body structures, and waste removal, making them vital for survival.

 

Plant-based proteins like beans, nuts, seeds, soy products, and eggs are great options. This website focuses on plant-based, “living” proteins and doesn’t cover animal proteins like chicken unless discussing their health effects. Explore the links below for more info on vegetarian nutrition.
