OUGD505 - SB02 - Further discussion into animal products and human health

How long would you last in the gym compared to someone who's diet was devoid of animal based products?

The answer.. is that you wouldn't stand much of a chance

Why? - High levels of consuming meat has a damaging impact on the cardiovascular system. Which means you would feel tired a lot more often. The body would quickly become out of breath compared to someone who eats less or no amounts of animal meat.

A general meat based diet will mean that your body fat percentage will be fairly higher and if you care about your diet more than the average person then, it leave very little leeway for other non meat indulgences. Meat and fish consumption has a much higher chance of making you sick, the natural and non natural elements/chemicals in meat leads to a higher chance of food poisoning and internal infection, resulting in more trips to the doctors and more medical treatment including the need for antibiotics.

eliminating the consumption of an animal based diet means that there will be a much less exposure to carriers of bacteria.

Antibiotics

Animals that are grown to be killed and eaten given a lot of antibiotics to keep the alive and growing to large sizes. Animal antibiotics are different to human antibiotics.. 

however there are similar chemicals that are in animal medicine which 'supergerms' become resistant to, that are also in human medicine. 
The typical human antibiotic contains 44% penicillin, which is also present in animal antibiotics at 6% along with other similar chemicals. The irresponsible use of antibiotics has resulted in humans with higher meat based diets building up a stronger antibiotic resistance
