Although vegetarianism can be roughly divided into vegan, dairy products, egg white and egg white, in principle, vegetarianism generally means not eating animal protein. Because you don't eat meat, you can lower and regulate cholesterol, and you won't get uric acid is too high because of eating meat, nor will you increase the incidence of renal failure and kidney calculi. In addition, people's physique is alkaline, eating too much meat is easy to make the physique acidic, which will increase the chance of getting sick. Vegetarian food helps to neutralize the acidity and alkalinity of the constitution.
The benefits of vegetarianism are well known, but an incorrect diet is equally harmful. For example, eating processed products with too many processing procedures not only has less nutrients, but also contains chemicals and pigments that will have an impact on the human body; Excessive use of grease in cooking will burden the human body. Therefore, when you are vegetarian, don't use too complicated cooking procedures and eat more fresh vegetables; Oil must be appropriate and raw materials should be selected (traditional tofu is better than boxed tofu, and sesame has lower sugar content and higher nutrition than sesame paste); Changing rice varieties frequently, eating brown rice occasionally, or adding grains and oats to rice are all good ways to balance nutrition.
Knowing the benefits of vegetarianism, perhaps your only worry is that you can't get the nutrition of meat. In fact, as long as you can choose a variety of dishes when you are vegetarian, you can get enough nutrition without favoring several dishes. In addition, because the cell tissue of meat itself is close to the human body, the absorption capacity of the human body is better. Vegetarians need to master several principles in diet because they reduce the intake of meat:
1. White rice and flour should be replaced by whole wheat bread, germ bread and brown rice.
2. Meat is high in protein, but beans such as soybeans, edamame and mung beans, or bean products such as tofu and dried beans are also rich in protein, which can supplement the shortage of meat, and you don't worry about high cholesterol if you eat more beans.
3. Eat cashew nuts, almonds and other drupes, which are rich in oil and can supplement the calories needed by the human body.
4. It is best to have four or five changes in green vegetables; The iron content in meat can be supplemented by eating more high-iron fruits such as tomatoes, kiwis and grapes.
Don't use more oil to cook vegetarian food. Only by mastering the principle of light vegetarian diet, less salt and less sugar can we meet the healthy orientation of vegetarian diet.
6. Vegetarians are easy to lack vitamin B 12, and eating more comprehensive vitamins can improve it. For a woman who loves beauty, it is not so easy to stay slim by being a vegetarian. If the cooking method is not correct, use too much oil, or try to choose some fried foods such as fried tofu skin or sweet foods such as mung bean cake. Although these foods are vegetarian, high oil and sugar make it difficult for you not to be fat.
If you are a vegetarian beginner, you may feel that you have eaten a lot at first, but you will soon be hungry. This is precisely because plants are easily absorbed by the stomach. Don't worry, stick to it, and you will deeply feel how good vegetarian food is for your health.
Vegetarian food is mostly plant food, or natural food. Originally, it refers to the forbidden animal raw materials, the forbidden temple five-pain vegetables (namely garlic, garlic, Ferula, Ci Cong and Ming Cong) and the Taoist five-meat vegetables (namely leeks, onions, garlic, mustard greens and parsley). Now it mainly refers to the use of vegetables (including fungi).
Vegetarian nutrition is the easiest to digest and absorb: all meat is difficult to digest in the stomach, even if it enters the large intestine, most of it is undigested or only partially digested, so carnivores are extremely corrupt in the large intestine, which is toxic and harmful to the human body. On the contrary, the nutrition of all fruits and vegetables is the easiest to be directly digested and absorbed, and the cellulose in plants can also prevent constipation.
Vegetarianism can reduce the absorption of animal toxins and slow down aging: when animals are slaughtered, they will produce a lot of toxic secretions due to anger, fear, sadness, pain and struggle. When people eat their meat, they will unconsciously eat these toxins into their own bodies, which will increase the load of detoxification organs such as kidneys and livers, making people prone to illness and aging; It means that if the machine is used too much or improperly, it needs more maintenance and its life will be shorter.
Vegetarianism makes people calm and clear-headed: when eating animals, they also eat animal hormones together, which makes people irritable and lose their temper. On the contrary, vegetarians are gentle and always calm, just like herbivores such as elephants and giraffes, they don't bully others. Animal fat blocks blood vessels, which will produce cholesterol and make the body (including the brain) aging. Vegetarians have clean blood and their brain power can be greatly improved.
China vegetarian dishes are an important part of China's diet, which are characterized by freshness, exquisite materials selection, exquisite skills, various varieties and unique flavor. Vegetarian dishes usually refer to dishes cooked with vegetable oil, vegetables, bean products, gluten, bamboo shoots, fungi, algae and dried and fresh fruits.

After reading the following text, you can naturally feel where the cancer comes from without the research reports of doctors and scientists (although there are many reports in this regard). If you are addicted to meat again, it will be a bit like eating puffer fish. These materials come from the United States, which is ten times stricter than Chinese mainland in food inspection and prevention.
"Why did I become a vegetarian?" An American writer wrote: "When you really understand that meat is filthy and a corpse with infectious diseases, can you gobble it fearlessly?" I didn't eat any meat, nor did I eat any vitamin tablets, and I lived a healthy life for half my life. I have traveled many times in the United States and often eat in restaurants and other people's homes. The process of abandoning meat and becoming a vegetarian has never made me feel uncomfortable. Let me take my time.
"When I was traveling, I ate two or three mouthfuls of liver one day and felt that the taste was wrong. I was really startled when I used the knife. There is a nest of worms in the pustule, which has been cooked. From that day on, every time I saw my liver, I felt queasy. But beef was still my favorite, until one thing shocked me, and I completely cut off beef! The thing is, my neighbor chooses the best cows from the herd and supplies milk himself. One day, the hygienist came to check that the cow had tuberculosis and should be destroyed. Neighbors said they didn't believe it and ignored it. Later, another inspector came to check and reported the same situation. My neighbor reluctantly sent the cattle to a bigger slaughterhouse and got permission to watch the cutting. What appeared in front of him was a whole lung corroded by tuberculosis ... Shortly after this incident, I led the whole class to go hiking and pass by the slaughterhouse. I asked the government meat inspector who was the guide. "Excuse me, man, what would you do if a cow got tuberculosis and a lung rotted?" "I also ask you, there is a rotten spot on your apple, what would you do? Didn't you cut it and eat it? "I noticed the surprised expression on the students' faces. Out of the slaughterhouse, I asked them if peeling apples is the same as cutting beef. "No, just kidding!" They denied it with one voice. They said, "The blood of the sick lung will circulate all over the body." So I pointed out another difference: "animal germs will parasitize us, while apple mold will only live on fruits and vegetables." Moreover, it will not circulate everywhere. " Even if you eat the rotten scar of an apple, you won't get sick. "In this way, some meat products that I used to hate make me more and more annoying.
"I used to love chicken. But after visiting a chicken farm nearby, I lost my appetite in this area. I see chicken farmers patrol the henhouse every day, picking out sick chickens and laying fewer eggs and sending them to the market. Those guys who are depressed and their asses are wet have all entered the processing factory. To my surprise, there is no inspection work at all. My stomach seems to tell me not to send dead chickens into my purse again.
"On one occasion, my friends and I went fishing in a mountain stream in Arizona. I don't know what happened. Nearly half of the fish I caught had tumors, either inside or outside. That's disgusting. After consulting the relevant information, we learned from the government report that fish cancer is common in some mountain streams, especially trout. The infection rate is as high as 90%. " .
Compared with China, the sky in the United States is much purer and the water is much cleaner. Even so, American fish are infected with cancer. What about the animals in China? You can imagine.
Now a northerner in China chews pig's head with Erguotou, which is very different from the pig's leg when Chu and Han fought. At present, there is pollution inside and outside animal carcasses: in modern agriculture, fertilizers and pesticides are widely used, animals eat plants, toxins enter animals, and people eat animals, and people become the highest enrichment of toxic substances. No way, carnivores are at the top of the food chain.
Needless to say, pesticide residues on plants, but the research results of Edward State University in the United States show that the content of pesticide residues such as DDT in meat is 13 times that of plants, which means that the pesticide residues on meat eaters may be 13 times higher than that of vegetarians. What's more, pesticide residues on plants can be washed, but pesticide residues on animal meat can't be washed away.
There is a saying that people who eat hairy crabs and pond fish now are brave people.
Farmers are a terrible group of people. They use sacks to pour chemicals into animal feed and lakes and rivers to stimulate the growth of livestock, poultry, fish and shrimp, force feed, inject hormones, and add stomach medicine, antibiotics, sedatives and preservatives to the feed (this nitrate-containing meat is dangerous for cats), completely ignoring the carcinogenic effects of these chemicals, and meat eaters enjoy it with their eyes open.
There is also a kind of poison called botulinum poisoning. "Botox is extremely harmful!" Zhang Luping, head of the Beijing Science Center for Human and Animal Environmental Protection, once again appealed to people to be vigilant after witnessing the scene of killing animals.
A dog market in Beijing. Zhang Luping described it as a bloody place that only a hard-hearted person could see. In front of other dogs, the butcher put a serrated sharp weapon on a dog's head, made it faint, hung it, stabbed it to death, and skinned it immediately. Bloody and steaming dog meat hung in front of the dog. Zhang Luping clearly saw that the dog that was banished to the end of the world changed from collective barking to silence, and the dog's eyes were full of tears. Eyes frightened, sad, sad, angry, cursing ... "If they can talk," she said, "they must be cursing the butcher.
Such dog meat is harmful to people's health. The most terrible thing is that animals will secrete a toxin after being killed, which is very harmful to human body. Modern scientific research shows that this toxin is a harmful adrenaline substance. Similarly, after pigs, cattle, turtles and chickens are slaughtered, they not only secrete emergency toxins, but also have sewage in their bodies, so it is not safe to eat meat.
In Zhang Luping's view, cancer, mad cow disease, bird flu, foot-and-mouth disease, SARS and other diseases are directly related to animal botulism. It's all some kind of resistance from animals.
Cancer and meat are positively related.
In other words, the more meat you eat, the easier it is to get cancer. A survey by a medical committee composed of famous doctors from Union Medical College Hospital shows that there is a positive correlation between meat and cancer. The survey report wrote: "The incidence of cancer in Beijing is 5.2 times that of 1996. We surveyed hospitals and residents in urban areas. The prevalence of colorectal cancer was less than10/100000 in last century, 20/100000 in 1980s, 24/100000 in 1990s and 60.45/100000 in 200. Why are there more and more cancer patients in cities? It has something to do with diet. Eat more meat, not coarse grains, loss of cellulose ... the growth rate of cancer is similar to that of meat.
Another medical investigation team reported: "China used to be a low incidence area of colorectal cancer, less than10/100000. However, in the past two or three decades, with the change of food structure and the increase of meat consumption, the incidence rate has been rising, reaching 24.31100000, which is equivalent to the international average incidence level. According to research estimates, after 2000, the incidence of colorectal cancer will be 65438 0.45 times higher than that in the 1980s. The mortality rate of colorectal cancer in Shanghai increased from 1972 to 1989, an increase of 75%. After 2000, the incidence of colorectal cancer will be 65438 0.45 times higher than that in the 1980s.
50% of cancers are related to diet. In the "2004 Tianjin Cancer Prevention Publicity Week", experts said. "The number of new cancer cases in Tianjin is 6.5438+0.6 million, and it is growing and younger. According to reports, although cancer is related to genetic factors, it is mainly caused by environmental factors including diet. For example, eating more meat, eating more staple food and lacking cellulose, that is, eating less coarse grains and miscellaneous grains, leads to an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer; The intake of high fat and high protein is an important reason for the rising incidence of breast cancer and colorectal cancer; About 75% of head and neck cancers are caused by drinking and smoking.
Foreign studies have also confirmed that cancer is closely related to meat. According to the research report of British Vegetarian Association 1995, it is found that the possibility of premature death of vegetarians is only half that of non-vegetarians, and vegetarians are less likely to suffer from heart disease and cancer, mainly because the cholesterol content in the blood of vegetarians is low ... What is in meat and why does it cause cancer? In addition to the recognized medical theory, many schools and experts point carcinogens to poisons in meat. As mentioned above, botulism is terrible, but it cannot be overemphasized. Guo Geng, a famous environmental expert in China and the head of Beijing Elk Garden, said, "I will give you a proof to understand how painful and resentful it is for animals, big or small, to be tied up and killed. Since you hate it, toxins will flow all over your body, so meat contains toxins. This poison is very powerful. For example, breast-feeding women are angry, and the milk will contain toxins, which makes the baby easy to get sick. Don't believe that if you see a woman with a baby angry, squeeze out her milk and put it in the sun for a while, it will turn green, and normal milk will turn white in the sun.
