The diets that are high in fruits, veggies, legumes, fiber, and certain spices have been shown to suppress that chronic inflammation and prevent the development of chronic diseases.” ⟡ “The average omnivore in the US gets more than 1.5 times the optimal amount of protein, most of it from animal sources. So when you think about cutting out meat and you're worried about your protein, it's definitely not a problem. If you're eating meat, you're probably getting a lot more protein than you really need. And that excess protein does not make us stronger or leaner. The excess protein is stored as fat or it's turned into waste. Animal protein is a major cause of weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, inflammation, and cancer.”»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»♡ SAY HELLO ON SOCIAL⟡ Website: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/⟡ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SBC_org ⟡ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/survivingbreastcancerorg/»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»♡ JOIN OUR GROUPS⟡ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13552879/⟡ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Survivingbreastcancer»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»♡ WATCH OUR WEBINARS⟡ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC355eKMBvbMQZgir1Y4sFdA»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»♡ LET’S CONNECT⟡Subscribe to our newsletter https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/subscribe-1⟡Attend an event https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/events»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»♡ DONATE⟡ Donate to our charity and give the gift of hope, education and resources today: https://tinyurl.com/yc9cgt4e»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
