I first tried to be vegetarian 10 years ago, lasted all of 2 years and then my cardiologist told me to start eating meat again because my heart was not fully healed from surgery. So i started eating it again being not very happy about it and then I became very tired and lethargic, falling asleep in class, collapsing on the floor to go to sleep etc.
I got blood tests and it showed very low iron levels so i changed my diet and cut out meat again (by this time I really didn't care for what my cardiologist said). After I cut out meat I stopped collapsing aand falling asleep in class, iron levels shot right back up again, had an appointment with my cardiologist and he said my heart has gone from being moderate-sever to moderate-mild.
My love and respect for animals, animal rights, human rights and the environment has showed me nothing but respect in return :)
