While this phrase may sound cliché, it remains true. Being moralistic about food is not the way, nor is trying to convince others with a scientific formula for being healthier by eating A, B, or C. Generating factions like carnivores, omnivores, vegetarians, pescetarians, vegans, fruitarians, and the rest of the tribes that become overly passionate is not the solution either. <br>The human body is in an intermediate point between carnivores and herbivores, so no definitive conclusions can be drawn. At least not now, considering that science is in its early stages to assert precisely the effect each food has on each individual. <br>The only argument I dare to present is that of experience and consciousness. Like everything in life, questioning why we do things and daring to investigate is crucial. It doesn't take a genius to understand that since we are a set of cells - dying, being discarded, and then replaced by new ones - they require new matter to subsist (atoms -> molecules -> amino acid chains -> proteins -> cells -> organs -> the human body). This matter comes from the food we ingest. They say that we are almost entirely rebuilt every six months, as each cell is replaced. How then can we take for granted the inherited diet (from our parents, culture, media) without applying some critical thinking? Literally, we are what we eat. Even for a car, we consider what fuel to use. <br>My only measuring parameter is whether a person simply eats out of inertia or has been able to research a little bit about food intake. If, after this process, they conclude a diet A, B, or C, good for them! <br>Personally, I have experimented with different types of food I consume at a "ceteris paribus" level (just changing one type of food to see what happens). Just for me and without generalizing, I have been able to conclude that more natural diets (unprocessed), without meat, and highly varied bring incredible results. In terms of energy, spirituality, vitality, improved sleep, sports performance, and mental clarity. But that's just my experience. <br>I'm not telling you what to eat. But I encourage you to investigate, try, and be conscious that one is indeed what one eats.
