As we can see, meat is not a natural or healthy food for human beings. Of course, we can still rely on it to make a living, but it makes our bodies wear out ahead of time and produces many diseases. "Gasoline engines can be powered by kerosene, but they will soon clog up and wear, which is more likely to break down than gasoline." Our body is not only a machine, but also a complex and wonderful creation, which serves us in our life. Therefore, they must provide appropriate food according to the natural structure, such as natural fruits, grains, nuts, beans, vegetables and daily necessities. Undoubtedly, numerous studies have confirmed that vegetarians all over the world are far healthier than meat eaters.
When the world economic crisis happened, people were forced to be vegetarian, and their health was greatly improved. During the First World War, due to the British blockade, there was an obvious food shortage in Denmark. The Danish government appointed the chairman of the National Vegetarian Association to be responsible for food distribution. During the blockade, Denmark was forced to live on cereals, vegetables, fruits and agricultural products. In the first year of rationing, the mortality rate decreased by 17%. During the First World War, Norwegians were vegetarian because of food shortage, but the proportion of people who died of circulatory diseases decreased. After the war, after Norway and Denmark resumed eating meat, the ratio of death rate to heart disease immediately rose to the pre-war figure.
Harris, a tribe in India and Pakistan, is famous for never getting sick and living a long life. Curious scientists from all over the world gathered in this village, trying to find out why the disease is almost extinct here, and the life expectancy of residents is as high as 1 15 years. Their diet is mainly whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and goat's milk. MacGregson, a British general practitioner who worked with Harris, once wrote, "I have never seen any cases of appendicitis, colitis or cancer here."
Recently, a group of Harvard doctors and research scientists went to a remote village with 400 residents in the Ikud mountain area. They were surprised to find that many local residents had reached an unusually old age. One person 12 1 year, and several people1year. They made a thorough examination of people over seventy-five, and only two people had heart disease! These villagers are pure vegetarians. The doctor called the discovery "extremely unusual" and said, "If the same subjects were examined in the United States, I'm afraid 95% people would have heart disease."
According to statistics, most vegetarians in the United States are thinner and healthier. Americans are 50% overweight, and vegetarians are on average 20 pounds lighter than meat eaters. Recently, the National Institutes of Health of the United States conducted a study on 50,000 vegetarians, and found that they lived longer than meat eaters, and had significantly lower chances of heart disease and cancer.
In Britain, the cost of life insurance for vegetarians is much lower than that for meat eaters. Because they are unlikely to get heart disease, insurance companies take less risks. The food poisoning insurance premium of vegetarian restaurants is also lower, because customers may be less prone to food poisoning than meat restaurants.
A doctor at Harvard University confirmed that vegetarians are less likely to have colds and allergies.
Therefore, it has been repeatedly confirmed by science that meat is harmful to human health. A well-prepared vegetarian diet can not only conform to the laws of nature, but also help us get a healthy and elastic body.
====================================
Vegetarians may not live long.
According to the survey, long-term vegetarianism will cause nutritional deficiency. After physical examination of 645 monks who are vegetarian for life in China, it is found that 45.6% of them suffer from chronic diseases, of which 34.3% are related to long-term malnutrition.
Nutritionists believe that humans need two kinds of protein. One is complete protein, also known as high-quality protein, which contains all amino acids including essential amino acids. Animal foods such as milk, lean meat, eggs, fish and shrimp are the main sources of this kind of protein. The other is incomplete or semi-complete protein, which lacks amino acids and some essential amino acids, such as plant protein. If you are a vegetarian for a long time, you can't supplement the complete protein in time and in full, which will lead to decreased plasma protein, weight loss, anemia, edema, decreased immunity, susceptibility to infectious diseases and nonunion of fractures.
