The Journal of the American Medical Association reported: "Vegetarian food can prevent at least 90% to 97% of heart disease." Scientists at Harvard University also found that the blood pressure of vegetarians is generally lower than that of non-vegetarians. More and more doctors (such as the American Heart Association) strictly restrict their patients from eating meat, and even ask them not to eat meat at all.
Compared with non-vegetarians, vegetarians are much less likely to die of type 2 diabetes.
Scholars at the University of California, Berkeley, examined 200 studies published after 1980 and found that eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer such as liver cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. People who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables have a reduced risk of cancer by half. Taiwan research also found that people who eat vegetables 14 times a week are 75% less likely to have lung cancer, 60% less likely to have liver cancer and 40% less likely to have colorectal cancer than those who eat vegetables less than twice a week. The study also found that even if you change to a vegetarian diet after suffering from cancer, you can have a longer maturity and even recover.
long life
A foreign health study found that vegetarianism can prolong life. The average life expectancy of vegetarian men is 83.3 years, while that of non-vegetarian men is 73.8 years. The average life expectancy of vegetarian women is 85.7 years, which is 6. 1 year higher than that of non-vegetarian women.
There are often unreasonable guardians and lifelong days.
Vegetarians who don't open their eyes can't see the' nonhuman guardian' and' life will eventually ascend to heaven'. But I firmly believe that what Buddha said must be true.
Break all angry habits forever.
Anger refers to the psychology of hatred, resentment and hurting others. People who are always angry feel that others have wronged them. He often fights with people for trifles, and' every fight' is his philosophy of life; He haggles over every ounce and bears a grudge. Angry habits seem to belong to personal conduct, but are essentially determined by internal nature. Angry habits are the antithesis of love, tolerance and patience. Vegetarianism nourishes love and tolerance. Long-term vegetarianism will make people gentle, generous and tolerant, and fundamentally change people's character. Therefore, we can' get rid of all angry habits forever'. The point of' forever' is to stick to a vegetarian diet for a long time.
Often don't have nightmares
Many people also have the personal experience of "often not having nightmares" after vegetarianism. Master Yin Guangda said: "The nightmare of heartbeat is a sign of bad karma in the past. However, although there are good and bad times, the change is about yourself. " Not killing is the greatest kindness in this world. It shows that the world has undergone fundamental changes. Doing good deeds is like grass in the garden in spring, but it grows day by day. If you are a vegetarian for a long time, good deeds will accumulate and the nightmare will disappear.
Eliminate the knot of grievances, and resolve the grievances.
The grievances of carnivores mainly come from the animals they eat. "May Zen Master Yun abstain from killing" says: "For thousands of years, the grievances in the bowl are as deep as sea hatred." Animals are also life. Animals were born in this world, and in their prime they were killed for no reason, cut into pieces and ground into paste, as if they had been tortured before they died. It must go through so-called "cooking", such as deep freezing, cooking, scorching, frying and so on. Finally, it was swallowed by people and came to a bad end. Animals have done nothing wrong, but their pain is worse than the punishment of bad people going to hell. How can they not be wronged?
Animals used to be used for food were raised in the natural environment, and their lives were not bad. Industrial breeding has brought about fundamental changes to all this. Driven by the maximization of profits, the situation of animals on the farm is completely tragic. Animals are crowded together, and the activity space is not as good as that of prisoners in prison. They have been locked in indoor fences or iron cages all their lives, and they stink all over. They never go outside freely, let alone the sunshine and fresh air that animals naturally like. Long-term depression makes animals fight inevitably. Angry pigs bite each other's tails, so their tails are cut short. Similarly, the peck of the chicken was cut off. Moreover, these "operations" are carried out rudely without anesthesia, leaving permanent scars on animals, making it difficult for chickens to eat all their lives. The cages for raising chickens are piled up layer by layer, and the feces and urine of the upper chickens fall into the lower cages. Crowding and mixed defecation make infectious diseases popular and easy to spread, so breeders have to add antibiotic feed for a long time to prevent them. Not only chickens, but also other animals. Animals can be said to grow up eating antibiotics every day. Chickens naturally like to dig holes for food, but now they can't touch the ground. On the contrary, because of living in a wire cage for a long time, the claws were corroded and bleeding because they were embedded in the wire. Animals in modern industrialized farms not only have to face tragic death and fear, but also endure the pain and torture at birth. I feel that life is worse than death, but I'm afraid I won't die a natural death. In this way, I lived a short and miserable life.
