According to relevant historical data, the average life expectancy of ten generations before the flood was 9 12 years; After the flood, people began to eat meat; After ten generations, the average life expectancy of people is only 3 17 years old. In other words, at the beginning of life, you are kind-hearted, don't eat meat, and have a long life; Learning from each other, bad heart, eating fish, life is short. This historical data fully shows that people's vegetarian diet is the basis of health and longevity.
Now there is a misunderstanding in people's diet that eating fish is the best food for nourishing and strengthening the body, especially for patients. But in fact, science has confirmed that people, especially patients, should be vegetarian, whether from the perspective of health care or from the perspective of human physiological structure.
You know, although meat is rich in protein, it increases the burden of human organs, such as cholesterol, saturated fat, uric acid and urea, which are all unnecessary and harmful to the body. In particular, patients are already weak, and eating meat also makes their illness recover slowly. Moreover, when animals are alive, they will excrete wastes from their bodies, but once they are slaughtered, wastes will accumulate in their bodies, so eating their meat is equivalent to adding wastes from animals to their bodies, and uric acid is the most obvious meat waste. Also, animal feed is a problem now. Animals grow fast, and the quality of their meat can be imagined. People eat meat not to nourish their bodies, but to eat meat.
Vegetarian food includes all kinds of cereals, bean products, vegetables, peanuts, fruits and so on. This is a very perfect nutrition. Especially brown rice, rye steamed bread and whole wheat bread, can provide enough B vitamins and supplement iron, calcium and protein. Therefore, vegetarianism will never lead to malnutrition, nor will it make patients weaker. On the contrary, it will let the patient's organs rest and not be tortured by meat pollution.
Dr. Friedrich, the authority of modern nutrition, said: "Hard-shelled grains, beans and vegetables are rich in nutrition, which is no less than meat. If there is such a vegetarian diet, what else can you ask for? " There is a food experiment in the Medical College of Evangelical University, which proves that vegetarian food mentioned above is nutritious, especially as a substitute for meat.
Mr. Keiichi Morishita, a famous Japanese medical scientist, said: "Generally speaking, the intake of animal foods such as meat, eggs and milk will worsen the intestinal environment, produce various toxic bacteria in the body, lead to animal protein corruption and increase intestinal endotoxin. These substances are absorbed by the intestine and become the culprit of the deterioration of blood quality. On the contrary, a vegetarian diet centered on grains and vegetables can produce a lot of clean blood, which has an excellent effect on improving physical fitness. This is because the essence of human diet belongs to cereals and vegetables. 」
Vegetarianism is the essence of human diet, because: 1, human teeth shape, developed molars, suitable for grinding grains; 2. Human intestines are very long, about 30 feet long in total, and 5 feet long in everbright intestines. People's intestines are long and wrinkled, which takes a long time to digest; 3. Digestive juice is mainly aimed at enzymes (enzymes) of various vegetables; 4. There are insect-like protrusions (cecum) that carnivores do not have.
Humans are not carnivores like tigers. Because the intestines of tigers are short, straight and wrinkle-free, the digestive residues of meat-eating will not stay in the intestines for long. However, after we eat meat, the meat stays in the intestine for a long time. At the temperature in the intestine, the meat is more likely to rot and ferment, and it is easy to produce harmful substances.
We are also different from cattle and sheep eating grass. Because cattle and sheep have several stomachs and intestines are much longer than human intestines, they are suitable for eating grass rich in fiber.
Generally speaking, we humans are not suitable for eating meat, nor for eating grass rich in fiber, but only for eating cereal.
Because of long-term eating habits and misleading nutrition, there is always prejudice against vegetarianism and health and longevity. Here I introduce a survey material about vegetarianism and health, and speak with data for your reference:
1984 10, Chen, director of the internal medicine department of the Eighth Five-Year Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, and his five colleagues formed a group to conduct physical examinations on four monasteries 100, namely, Shanghai Jade Buddha Temple, Longhua Temple, Suzhou Hanshan Temple and Lingyanshan Temple, and measure blood viscosity. Then, they did the same test on 100 ordinary elderly people over 60 in a nursing home in Shanghai and Suzhou, and made a comparison. The results show that the blood viscosity of monks is much lower than that of ordinary people. Reflecting health: 57 out of 100 elderly monks have no disease, and only 18 have cardiovascular disease; 100 among ordinary elderly people, only 8 people have not found diseases, while as many as 67 people have cardiovascular diseases.
This is a very convincing contrast. This reminds people that if you want to live a long and healthy life, you'd better not eat or eat less meat. Because animal food is one of the main reasons for the increase of blood viscosity and the bane of human life.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen is not only a revolutionary, but also a doctor who strongly advocates vegetarianism. In his legacy, there was once a "Patient's Self-report" that cured his stomach trouble by reducing meat consumption: "The author once had a dietary disease, which was indigestion of the stomach. Originally very small, but busy as a bee, gradually serious, so self-healing; If you recover a little, you will continue to run around and ignore it. If you do this several times, the medical stone will be lifeless, so you must be careful about hygiene. Everything hard and hard to melt will not be filled. Can't eat milk, porridge, gravy, etc. It was quite effective at first, but after eating it for half a year, these foods also failed, and the condition became more and more serious, with frequent stomach diseases and almost no cure. Using * * * surgery to help the digestion of the stomach, this method is the first application, and it also works wonders. And a few months later, the old disease still broke out. Every time it's heavier than before, so the person who looks for surgery and knows medicine at the same time is Mr. Takano Taiji of Tokyo.
Teacher Wang's operation was extraordinary, and he wrote a book "Resistance to Health", and his diet was unusual. Ordinary western medicine diet, is to let patients eat digestible things, avoid eating thick things, such as porridge, milk, eggs, gravy and so on. Eat more hard vegetables and fresh fruits; Hard-to-change tendons should be taken to resist the gastrointestinal tract, so as to exert their own strength and restore their natural energy. I didn't believe it at first, but I thought that after eating porridge and milk for half a year, I was still ill, so I wanted to try it. Seeing Mr. Takano's operation again cured my stubborn illness and made me more determined. I followed it, and it worked miracles. Only a few months after recovery, I occasionally ate meat or milk, eggs, soup, tea and wine, and my illness recurred. At first, I thought there were other reasons, not only about food, but also after three or four times, so I had to quit all meat, milk, eggs, soup, tea, wine and almost all spicy products like Mr. Takano, eat hard rice and vegetables every day and replace tea with fresh fruits. Since then, if I have lost my old illness, I have eaten more in the past two years and my health is better than usual. "
This is Dr. Sun Yat-sen's correct and accurate view on diet, which can be used as a reference for people who are still addicted to meat.
The author also has a little experience on vegetarianism and health. When people reach middle age, they feel uncomfortable with their gallbladder and stomach. After B-ultrasound examination in the hospital, it was diagnosed as chronic cholecystitis. For many years, I have been recuperating by taking medicine. Constantly taking elixir tablets and Xiaoyan Lidan tablets, but always ineffective, very painful. After retirement, I occasionally worked in the editorial department of Hanshan Temple, and had lunch with monks at noon every day, and gradually developed the habit of eating vegetarian food. After a few months, the gallbladder became comfortable unconsciously, and the gallbladder had been conditioned by drugs and stopped. However, during the Spring Festival, my mouth was not well managed, and my gallbladder was "a little emotional". As soon as I realized that I was greedy, I made up my mind to keep good eating habits and eat more vegetarian food. For more than a year, not only has the gallbladder healed, but the weight has also changed from thin to normal. This is the advantage of my vegetarian diet. Let me tell you something for your reference.
The precepts of Buddhism, the significance of vegetarianism is far-reaching. Its purpose is naturally to abstain from killing nursing students and cultivate Buddha's great compassion.
The Buddha's commandment in the Brahma Sutra says: "If the Buddha eats meat, all living beings must not eat meat. A man who eats meat has cut off the seeds of Buddha's compassion, and all living things give up when they see it. Therefore, all bodhisattvas are not allowed to eat the flesh of all sentient beings, and eating meat is innocent. If you eat too much, you will commit the crime of light scale. " The Shurangama Sutra says: "All sentient beings have never been born, and they are constantly in the cycle of life and death. They have never been parents, brothers, men and women, or even friends or parents. " It is easy to be born by birds and animals. Why should clouds eat it? 」
Buddhism stresses causality. We don't look at causality from China's word "meat". The word "meat" is two people. When you sit on it, when you ride on his head, he will be killed by you. As soon as he turned over, he ate you again The Shurangama Sutra says: "People eat sheep, sheep die for people, and people die for sheep ... they die and live, and they eat each other. 」
Believe it or not, facts are always facts.
Compassion and compassion are to persuade people to be kind and release more. Therefore, life is the cause of health and longevity. The Buddhist scriptures say, "If you stop killing and release people, you will get two kinds of blessings: one will live a long life, the other will be blessed, and you will live a long life without illness." . Therefore, it is good to set free, but it is better to be vegetarian. Vegetarianism is the real and complete release. In short, vegetarianism can increase happiness, and vegetarianism is the secret of health and longevity.
Finally, let's listen to the French of the old monk Miaolian:
People say life comes first, I say body comes first; If you are unhealthy, you will live a long life and suffer a lot.
If you want to live a long life, health is the first; To tell the truth, being healthy and being vegetarian comes first.
Who doesn't want to live a long life, the biggest enemy of meat; Who doesn't want to live a long life? Vegetarianism is the secret recipe.
Cattle and horses are vegetarian and tall and strong; Serving the public is not too difficult.
If you want to be healthy, vegetarian food is the most precious; Vegetarian food is nutritious and beneficial to physical and mental health.
Vegetarian fat is a little more, and the body meat will not be fat; Being fat is unhealthy and refreshing.
Meat is prone to fatigue, aging and suffering from various diseases; Meat has germs, from which all sufferings arise.
Tigers and wolves have a big appetite, and cattle, sheep and pigs suffer; How do adults learn from tigers and wolves?
Dear readers and friends, we want to live a long and healthy life. Why don't we develop a good vegetarian lifestyle in our daily life, so that we can enjoy a healthy and long life together.
