Find out what happens to your body if you give up meat for a year?

Many have thought about it, few have put it into practice. As much as we love meat and without being fanatical vegans, an abstinence is considered necessary.

There are even serious reasons that will convince you to do so.

According to research by the George Washington University School of Medicine in the US, people on average can lose about 4.5 kg when they stop eating meat.

The risk of heart attack is reduced

Avoiding meat can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Types of bacteria in the gut

According to a study at the City University of New York, vegetarians have more protective types of gut bacteria than meat eaters.

Well-being after training

If your muscles are sore after your workout, it's because of your high-protein diet. This can lead to an increase in uric acid or lactic acid in the muscles.

You will feel better

Those who have removed meat from their diet report feeling better. Billionaire Richard Branson has said he feels more active and healthier since giving up meat, while studies show vegetarians eat more and lose weight, run faster and discover new foods they like.
