Have you ever considered of being a vegetarian ever? Well after reading this post, maybe you can give vegetarian diet a thought! I came across a new term called Vegans. Vegans are those who eat no animals and animals products.
1) Living longer life: It has been stamped that those who are vegetarians can live 7 years more than non-vegetarians. Vegans can live 15 years more than meat fond people. Backed by China Health Project which states that vegetarians are less prone to cancer, heart attacks and other ailments.
2) Stronger Heart : Vegetarian diet is very low in calories and cholesterol levels than other diets. So cardiovascular diseases which are a reason for death of highest number of people in United States can be adopted instead of the high level of cholesterol and saturated fats found in American Diets.
3) Avoid Cancer : Cancers like Prostate, colon and skin cancer can be prevented by adopting a plant based diet. Tumor cells which are responsible for cancer are better controlled by vegetarian's immune system. Pineapple is one fruit which fights cancel cell wells. Read more about Pineapple and Facts.
4) Stay Slim : Many people want to stay slim and it has been like a stamped fact that vegetarians are a lot slimmer than meat eaters due to low fat and calorie but high protein vegetarian diet.
5) Detoxify Your Body : Vegetarian diet helps detoxification helping us in keeping away all the toxins. Remember a doctor always suggest a vegetarian diet before starting the detoxification programme.
6) Stronger Bones for Longer Time : Animal products like milk makes blood acidic and to maintain a balance our body pulls calcium from bones. So it is better to intake leafy vegetables like broccoli and legumes. In non-Veg diet, excess calcium intake has adverse effect on calcium absorption ad retention by body. In which case the body actually excrete calcium and results in bone disease like osteoporosis. A fact is vegetarian bone stays much longer than non-veg bone. ( I hope, I used the right line there )
yeah! being vegan is really healthy. we vegans have much lower rates of heart attack, cancer, and obesity.
ReplyDeleteyou should do it!
It's interesting that you should mention this. I've been vegetarian for about 2.5 now and vegan for one of those years, and never have I felt healthier! I hardly ever get sick, even during flu season. It's cool that this is a natural benefit I get from my dietary choices
ReplyDeleteOhh I can be a vegetarian but being a vegan will be tough :) Don't you people feel the urge while being a vegan... Its literally seems like cutting down on too much (offcourse for the good).
ReplyDeleteA vegetarian diet can be just as high in fat and calories as a diet that includes meat or fish. This is simply untrue, and obviously so.
ReplyDeleteAvoiding cancer by avoiding meat is a sound philosophy - however simply eating vegetables is no guarantee that you have a healthier diet. Eat a meal-full of pesticides three times a day and you will not reap many health benefits.
Not all doctors always recommend veggie diets pre-detox. That's a dangerous oversimplification. Eating vegetables grown with pesticides is a sure way to RE-toxify your body. Again, read this blog with the understanding that genuine, intelligently researched dietary advice is available elsewhere.
