Vegetarian
Benefits of veganism:
1, which helps to lose weight and keep your figure beautiful.
Because meat can distribute a lot of saturated fat, eating meat products leads us to consume too many calories, which is also the chief culprit of weight gain. On the contrary, vegetarians eat complex carbohydrates and various fruits and vegetables, which are low-calorie (some even zero-calorie) foods, but they can also feel full because they are rich in fiber.
2. Reduce the risk of food-borne diseases.
According to the statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are about 76 million cases of food-borne diseases in the United States every year, of which 325,000 are hospitalized and 5,000 die. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims that foods rich in protein, such as meat, poultry, fish and seafood, often lead to outbreaks of food-borne diseases.
It can alleviate world hunger.
David pimentel, a professor of ecology at Cornell University in the United States, believes that if all the food currently fed to livestock is left for human consumption, about 800 million people can be fed.
It can prevent diseases.
A study quoted by Vegetarian Times shows that changing to vegetarian diet can increase the life span of 13 years. More evidence comes from Okinawa, Japan, where residents live longer than people in other parts of Japan (and perhaps even other parts of the world). Through the research of more than 600 centenarians in Okinawa for nearly 30 years, the secret of their longevity is to adhere to a low-calorie unprocessed complex carbohydrate diet and eat fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and soybeans.
5, can help save money
You only need to spend a little money on meat to enjoy a vegetarian meal. In addition, meat is usually a big expense in daily grocery shopping. Vegetarian foods such as kidney beans, rice, pods, nuts and other cereal products have long shelf life and low cost.
6, help to protect the environment
Compared with plant protein products, animal protein production consumes 3 to 15 times more water resources. In addition, in order to obtain more livestock land and earn more benefits, human beings often do not hesitate to destroy a large number of tropical rainforests. We must understand that the forest is not only a sacred treasure given to us by the earth, but also the trees in the forest provide us with valuable oxygen necessary for survival.
