NJ Boot Camp To Promote Meatless Mondays

OCEAN, N.J. - Oct. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Ultimate Fit Zone, a boot camp training center in Monmouth County, has announced that they will help promote and raise awareness for Meatless Mondays, an international campaign that encourages people to not eat meat on Mondays to improve their health and the health of the planet.  Owner Edward Albert is also the owner of Ultimate Fitness Training Center, a 24 hour gym a few doors down.  He has said that the effort will be put forth from both locations.

The fitness centers in NJ will start promoting Meatless Mondays by offering tasty meatless recipes for their members via their social media channels and email blasts.  They also plan to put signage at both gyms encouaring people to learn more about the campaign and the benefits it provides to their health and the planet.

"It just makes sense," Edward said. "You don't have to be a vegetarian to want to be healthier.  It's widely know that eating more plant based foods is great for your health.  If we all focus on this effort even for just one day- we can make a huge difference not only in our own health, but in the health of our planet too."

Going meatless for one day can help reduce our carbon footprint and save precious resources like fossil fuels and fresh water.  It is estimated that approximately 1,850 gallons of water are needed to produce a single pound of beef where as approximately 39 gallons of water are needed to produce a pound of vegetables.
