There are a lot of sound arguments in favor of vegetarianism. Regardless of whether it’s because of animal-rights, environmental concerns, or done in the interest of general personal health — not eating meat is something many people are very passionate about.

However, for individuals who are at high-risk for, or already suffering from certain forms of bowel disease, newly published research may present the strongest argument yet for going vegetarian.

The British Medical Journal recently presented the findings of a study carried out by researchers at the University of Oxford’s Cancer Epidemiology Unit (CEU), which suggest that individuals who follow a vegetarian diet may be up to a third less likely, on average, to develop diverticular disease than those who regularly eat meat.

Diverticular disease is especially prevalent among westerners, and is statistically one of the most common forms of bowel disease in both the United States and UK.

Weight loss is one of biggest reasons many people decide to try a colon cleanse diet or program. But do colon cleanse diets really work? Or are they just another scam to separate you from your hard earned money?

First and foremost, it’s important to know that colon cleansing really does work. And yes, it can be a great way to reduce that bulge around your waistline. A thorough colon cleanse helps to remove impacted waste matter and other toxic debris from the small intestines and colon. Over the normal course of a lifetime, this can add up to literally pounds of excess weight in the belly area.

Getting rid of this stored-up mass not only helps to instantly flatten your stomach, it also helps reduce gas and bloating, and typically improves how well your body processes food in general. In turn, this can dramatically boost a sluggish metabolism and make it easier to burn off even more unwanted body fat.

We’re all familiar with fad diets. Celebrities love them, there are books written about them and the majority of us have probably tried a few of them at one time or another. But did you have any idea that fad diets date back for centuries? Here’s a brief timeline of people trying to control their waistline.

1087 – The Alcohol-Only Diet

In 1087, William the Conqueror had a crazy idea for a fad diet. His plan was to only consume alcohol. Obviously, this diet didn’t work for him. He ended up getting so fat that he couldn’t ride a horse or fit into his coffin after he died. While the alcohol-only diet is popular amongst college kids, we wouldn’t recommend it for improving your health.

1820 – The Vinegar Diet

British poet Lord Byron made the Vinegar Diet in 1820. The Vinegar Diet consisted of dowsing all of your food with the sour stuff… and Lord Byron reportedly lost sixty pounds from this fad diet. Unfortunately, some historians think Byron suffered from an eating disorder, so this might not be the most reputable fad diet in history. The truth is, that apple cider vinegar has many health benefits, but consuming nothing but vinegar is definitely not healthy for you.
