It can change you as a person because you can do something new and it effects your behavior

An example of how my beliefs, behaviors and practices have changed by applying them to new situations is the relationship I have with some foods.

I grew up with the belief that milk is a very nutritious food because it provides the calcium necessary to have strong bones and teeth. For this reason I learned that I should include this food every day in my diet. The commercials I saw on television and school books reinforced this belief. Over time I saw that my parents did not feel well when drinking milk since they began to feel bad when ingesting this food. The same thing started to happen to me.

At that time our behavior began to change because to avoid the negative symptoms we experience in our bodies we stopped drinking milk. We consult health experts and they said we didn't have good lactose tolerance. Another change in our behavior was that we started buying and drinking lactose-free milk. At that time I wondered if lactose-free milk fed in the same way and discovered that most of the milks that are for sale in the supermarket have gone through pasteurization processes that make them lose a lot of their nutrients. I was still worried because the negative symptoms in our bodies decreased but did not disappear.

My eating practice changed completely at the moment we decided not to consume animal milk or its derivatives. We begin a research process to know the properties of other foods and find different sources of calcium.

This movement and change transformed me as a person because I understood that it is true that we are what we eat. This situation also sensitized me to understand that we should not only look at what we eat but in the process behind. Today I am a more sensitive person in what has to do with animal abuse.
