In the Catholic rituals, this specifically relates to the ill-persons ensuring a balanced diet. The spiritual practices require all believers to refrain from taking alcohol and maintaining a balanced diet with vegetarian foods. In Lent’s religious function in Catholicism, meat is forbidden, which helps prevent Type 2 diabetes and hypertension (How, Ming and Chin, 2018). In my family, we rarely eat meat due to Catholic values. However, this helps prevent diseases such as type 2 diabetes which have a higher risk with animal protein and cholesterol.
