I just realized form a friend that Lent is already well under-way. Wow, I can't believe I missed it! But, I guess I can just take that 30-day pledge that PETA does.

I just thought of some more possible health-related issues that I would like to know if they can be affected for better or for worse if I go vegetarian. One of those is low blood sugar, and another is low blood pressure. I have both, and I was thinking that perhaps vegetarians consume less sodium/salt than non-vegetrain people, so I wouldn't want to worsen my low blood pressure, but I also figured that I can add salt to whatever I make with tofu.
Plus, the already made/prepackaged "meats" made from tofu, in the grocery stores, probably have salt added, right?

Now, I'm not sure how vegetarian diets affect low blood sugar, but I figured it would one way or the other, so....if anyone has any insight on that, that would be great if you could share it here. I know about the whole glycemic index thing, but I'm not sure if vegetarian diets are low glycemic index or not (I'm thinking they are).

Again, if I think of any more questions, I will post them here.
Thanks in advance!
