Digest This

Don't eat red meat.

Ok, Ok...I know you don't want to give up sacrificing cows. Just don't eat them all the time.

Eating more meat than you should (anywhere between 2-3 ounces more than 3-5 times a week is considered pushing the limit) can cause cancer of the colon because red meat lacks the nutrients and ingredients needed for fast and easy digestion.

The more you eat, the harder it is for all of it to digest. In the most basic explanation, it takes such a time to digest, that the more you eat, the slower it goes, and the more it just piles and piles in your body until you become clogged up.

This is not the best of news if you are on a diet such as the Atkins diet, but it is something you should know. Losing weight doesn't do much good if you lose your life with it.

I realize things are easier said then done. It's hard to drive past Hardee's or Burger King or wherever it is that you have sold your soul to the god of red meat, but it's worth it.

Just think, for every two bucks you don't waste on a double cheeseburger, you also save hundreds of dollars from having to buy unwanted medication that the doctor prescribes when you've had one burger too many.
