How diet affects the empath. All living things have energy including the food you put into your body. At the basic level, everything is made up of energy. empaths really are what they eat drug like and processed foods will make the empath challenges more challenging. Many empaths become vegetarian or vegan. The closeness to animals makes it very difficult to begin with, but taking in that energy of abuse and murder is not going to make an empath feel good.
If you are a meat eater, don't worry, every one is different and making a lifestyle choice is personal. I personally ate meat for years until one day I just decided I couldn't anymore You're not a bad person. If you eat meat you will stop if and when you are ready. The best thing to do is eat a balanced diet. take vitamins, drink lots of water and try not to eat too much processed junk And you will feel better physically and mentally
