what is protein and do vegetarians get enough of it?
What is Protein? Can Vegetarians get enough of it? Great questions! Protein is what gives us energy to do all of the things we want to do. It’s what provides structure to our tissues and cells, supports immunity and even growth. It also keeps our bellies full and satiated. Protein is made of long-chain amino acids, the building blocks of our cells. Our awesome bodies produce 11 of these amino acids, but the other nine, aka essential amino acids, have to come from food sources. Despite what popular lore may have led you to believe, us plant-based eaters are just as good at meeting our protein requirements as carnivores.
Mind over Matter
How far would you go to ensure your body and mind are in peak physical condition, in order to allow you to live better longer? would you walk across a crane of a building 900 feet in the air to prove to yourself how strong your mind is at controlling your physical response to stress, or walk into a burning building? Most of us aren’t in a position to do so, but I’m really happy Chris Hemsworth did just that in his recent series, Limitless.

My best tip for avoiding that post-holiday-meal groans, is to crowd out the food that will do it to you. What do I mean by “crowding out,” you might be wondering. There is no “bad food,” just food that may make us feel bad, and that might be different for each of us.
take a breath
