1) Toxic Chemicals are Avoided.
Meat, dairy products, fish all come with toxics which are used to preserve them. Fish carries the cancer causing substances like PCB's , DDT and some heavy metals ( minerals required by body in very less amount ) . These toxics can't be removed from body even after cooking or freezing the fish. Though fish is a good source of nutrition, one should take care of above mentioned things.
2) Say Bye To Back Problems
Back pain, which is a complaint of almost 3 out of 10 individuals who's job is sitting for almost throughout a day can be totally avoided. Here's an insight how? Back pain is caused due to blockage of arteries ( due to cholesterol ) running to the back and thus degenerating the discs. Plant based diet can avoid this situation alltogether by keeping arteries clear of the cholesterol responsible for blockage.
3) Say Bye To Food Borne Illness
It has been estimated by CDC that in US that more than 50% of Cows, pigs and chicken carry some kind of bacteria or are infected with one or the other parasite.
4) Increasing Fiber Intake :
The process of pushing waste out of the body is called as detoxification. Being a vegetarian , increases your fiber intake which aids in removing the toxics from the body. Sorry to say but meat contains no fiber.
5) Vegetarian Benefits to Woman :
Our body secrets fluctuating hormones, to balance the different moods and situations. Plants, grains and legumes balances the levels of such hormones which helps a woman to go through menopause without much complaints.
Your comments regarding back pain are dangerously untrue. Not all back pain is caused by the blockage of arteries - to say so is misleading, harmful and self-evidently ignorant.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to say that one can avoid toxic chemicals and food-borne illness by avoiding meat is patently untrue: organically-grown vegetables may be free of toxic chemicals - but only if you buy organic. As for food-borne ilness, I wonder if you did any research whatsoever: the majority of e coli and other pathogen-related food scares in the last few years have been related to vegetables such as green onions, etc. Avoiding infected meat is a good step, but only if you also eat healthily - and simply eating "vegetables" is a ridiculously unsound suggestion. Pick your food carefully - if you eat meat, eat meat that's been farmed and fed without antibiotics and hormones. If you eat vegetables, eat vegetables that have been grown organically and without the use of pesticides.
Pesticides on your potatoes are entirely toxic. Read this blog with the understanding that it is written without thorough research - indeed, without evidence of any kind of research whatsoever.
