Although vegetarianism is broadly categorized as full vegetarianism, lacto-vegetarianism, egg-vegetarianism, egg-milk-vegetarianism, and so on, in principle vegetarianism refers to the elimination of animal proteins. By not eating meat, we can lower and regulate cholesterol in the body, and we will not consume too much uric acid due to meat consumption, which will increase the incidence of kidney failure and kidney stones. In addition, the human body is alkaline, meat eaten too much easy to make the body acidic, and increase the chance of disease, vegetarianism can help the body of the acid and alkaline neutralization.
The benefits of eating a vegetarian diet are well known, but eating the wrong kind of food can also be harmful. For example, if you eat too much processed food, not only will you lose nutrients, but the chemicals and colors in the food will also affect your body; and if you use too much oil when cooking, you will burden your body. Therefore, when cooking vegetarian food, do not use too complex cooking procedures, more fresh vegetables; oil must be moderate, choose the original rough material (traditional tofu is better than boxed tofu, sesame seeds than sesame paste containing low sugar and high nutrition); often change the type of rice, occasionally eat some brown rice, or in the rice with grains, oats, etc., are to achieve a balanced nutritional approach.
Knowing the benefits of vegetarianism, perhaps your only concern is that you won't get the nutrients found in meat. In fact, as long as the vegetarian can choose a variety of dishes, do not prefer a few kinds of food, as well as to get enough nutrition. In addition, because of the meat itself, the cellular organization and the human body is closer, so the human body to its absorption is also better, eat vegetarian due to reduce the intake of meat, in the diet on the need to master a few principles:
1. Should be whole wheat bread, germ bread, brown rice, etc., instead of white rice, white flour.
2. Meat protein content is high, but legumes such as soybeans, soybeans, mung beans, or tofu, dried beans and other processed legumes are also rich in protein, can be supplemented due to lack of meat and lack of part, and eat beans without cholesterol is too high.
3. Eat more cashews, almonds and other nuts, which are rich in fat to supplement the body's calorie needs.
4. It is best to have four or five variations of green vegetables; the iron contained in meat can be supplemented by more intake of high iron fruits such as tomatoes, kiwis and grapes.
5. Don't use more fat to cook vegetarian dishes to make them more flavorful, but keep them light, with less salt and sugar to meet the health orientation of vegetarianism.
6. Vegetarians are prone to lack of vitamin B12, eat more multivitamins can be improved. Women who want to rely on vegetarianism to maintain a slim figure is not so easy, if you cook incorrectly, with too much oil, or pick some deep-fried such as fried tofu skin, or sweets such as mung bean cake to eat, although these foods are vegetarian, however, the high oil and high sugar so that you do not want to get fat is difficult.
If you're a vegan, you may feel like you're eating a lot at first, but you're getting hungry fast, because plants are easier on the gut. Don't worry, be consistent, and you'll be able to feel how good a vegan diet is for your health.
Vegetarian food is mostly plant-based, or natural food, and originally referred to the ban on animal ingredients and the ban on five hard (i.e., garlic, garlic, Wei Wei, ci onion, Ming onion) of the monastery dishes and the ban on five meat (i.e., leeks, scallions, garlic, rue, and caraway) of the Taoist temple dishes - now mainly refers to the use of vegetables (including mushrooms), fruits, and soy gluten, etc., the preparation of the vegan food, and good use of bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, etc., suspended vegetarian broth! On the contrary, all fruits, vegetables and cereals are the most easily digested and directly absorbed nutrients, and the cellulose in the plants can also prevent the occurrence of constipation.
Vegetarian diet can reduce the absorption of animal toxins and slow down the aging process: As animals are slaughtered, due to anger, fear, grief, pain, struggle, will produce a large number of toxic secretions, people eat their meat, unknowingly eat these toxins into their own bodies, aggravate the kidneys, liver and other detoxification organs of the load, making people susceptible to disease and easy to old; the same as the machine used too much or improperly need more maintenance, life expectancy is also shorter. The life expectancy is also shorter.
Vegetarianism makes people calm and clear-headed: when you eat animals, you also eat animal hormones and hormones into your stomach, which makes you easily irritable and lose your temper. On the contrary, most of the vegetarians are tame, always keep calm and peaceful, just like elephants, giraffes and other herbivores, not bullying. Animal fat clogs blood vessels and produces cholesterol, which ages the body (including the brain). Vegetarians have cleaner blood and better brain power.
Chinese vegetarian cuisine is an important part of Chinese cuisine, and its distinctive features are seasonal-based, sophisticated selection of materials, exquisite skills, a wide range of flavors and chic. Vegetarian cuisine usually refers to dishes prepared with plant-based ingredients such as vegetable oil, vegetables, soy products, gluten, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, algae and dried fruits.
Chinese vegetarian dishes by the monastery vegetarian dishes, court vegetarian dishes, folk vegetarian dishes of three flavors, the monastery vegetarian dishes, also known as fasting dishes, is made exclusively by the Heung Jik Kitchen (monk kitchen), for monks and incense eating dishes; court vegetarian dishes, is made exclusively by the Imperial Kitchen, for the emperor to enjoy the dishes during the fasting; folk vegetarian dishes: is in the inheritance of the traditional varieties of vegetarian dishes on the basis of absorbing the essence of the Palace and the monastery vegetarian dishes in the Folk vegetarian dishes: is the inheritance of traditional vegetarian varieties based on the absorption of the essence of the palace and monastery vegetarian dishes in the development of folk vegetarian dishes formed.

The dreaded meat poisoning Read the following text, you do not have to doctors and scientists of the study (although there are a large number of reports in this regard) you can feel naturally where the cancer is from, and if you love to eat meat again, a little bit of a risky eating puffer fish flavor. And this material comes from the United States, which is ten times stricter than mainland China in terms of food inspection and prevention.
"Why did I become a vegetarian?" An American author wrote: "When you really understand that meat is filthy and unclean and a carcass with an infectious disease, can you gobble it up again without fear? I have lived half my life in good health without eating any meat or taking any vitamin pills. I have traveled the United States many times and eaten in restaurants and other people's homes, and the experience of giving up meat and becoming a vegetarian has not been hard on me, so let me tell you about it.
"While traveling, one day ate liver bites two or three bites, think the taste is not right, and then use the knife all, really startled me, there is a nest of small worms in the pus, has long been cooked. From that day on, every time I see liver I will be sick to my stomach. But beef was still my favorite, until an incident shook me up and I cut it out completely! It happened that my neighbor had picked the best cow in the herd to supply his own milk. One day the sanitarian came to inspect it and said it had tuberculosis and should be destroyed. My neighbor said he didn't believe it and ignored it. Later, another inspector came back and reported the same thing. Reluctantly, my neighbor took the cow to a larger abattoir to get permission to watch the cutting. What appeared before his eyes was a whole lobe of a lung eaten away by tuberculosis bacteria. ...... Shortly after this incident, I was leading a class on a hike and passed by the slaughterhouse, so I asked the government meat inspector who was acting as a guide, "Excuse me, man, but if a cow has tuberculosis and a lobe of a lung is rotten, what do you do with it? " "May I also ask you what you do with an apple that has a rotten spot on it? Don't you still peel it off and eat it?" I noticed the surprised looks on the students' faces. When we got out of the slaughterhouse, I asked them if peeling an apple was the same as cutting beef. "Different, just kidding!" They denied in unison. They said, "The blood from a diseased lung travels all around the body." So I pointed out another difference, "Animal germs can parasitize our people, whereas apple mold will only live on top of the fruit and vegetables, plus, it doesn't circulate circumferentially. Even if you eat the rotten scars of an apple, you don't get sick." In this way, certain meats that used to annoy me, annoyed me more and more.
"I used to love chicken. But after visiting a nearby chicken farm, that aspect of my appetite is gone. I saw that the chicken keepers made daily rounds of the chicken rooms, picking out sick chickens and those that laid fewer eggs and sending them to market. The guys with droopy heads and damp butts went into the processing plant. To my surprise, there was no inspection at all. It was as if my stomach was telling me to stop sending dead chickens into my leather bag.
"Somewhere along the line, I went fishing with a friend in a mountain stream in Arizona, and couldn't figure out what was wrong; nearly one-half of the fish caught had tumors, either internal or external, and it was stomach-churning to watch. It was only after checking the information that I learned from a government report that in some mountain streams, fish cancer was prevalent, especially in trout. The rate of their infection is in some cases as high as ninety percent." .
Compared with China, the U.S. sky is much purer, the water is much cleaner, even so, the U.S. fish also contracted cancer, that China's animals? You can imagine.
Now a northern Chinese man with two pots of head chewing on the pork with the Chu-Han struggle when Fan Kuai munching on the pig's leg has been very different. Nowadays, animal carcasses are poisoned both inside and outside: modern agriculture is widely used fertilizers and pesticides, animals eat plants, toxins into the body of the animal, and people eat animals, people will become the highest concentration of toxic substances. There's no way around it. Meat-eaters are at the top of the food chain.
It goes without saying that there are pesticide residues on plants, but the results of a study by Edward State University in the United States showed that the amount of DDT and other pesticide residues in meat is 13 times that of plants, meaning that the amount of pesticide residues on meat-eaters may be 13 times higher than that of vegetarians. What's more, pesticide residues on plants can be washed away, while those in animal flesh cannot.
There's a saying that anyone who eats hairy crabs and river fish these days is a brave man.
Farmers are a group of terrible people, they into sacks of animal feed and loose lakes and rivers to pour chemicals, stimulate the growth of livestock, fish and shrimp, force-feeding, hormone injections, in the feed with appetizers, antibiotics, tranquilizers, preservatives (this type of nitrate-containing meat, fed to cats are very dangerous), without regard to the carcinogenic effect of these chemicals, such a meat, meat-eaters eyes openly and closedly The meat eaters enjoy it with their eyes wide open.
There is another kind of poison, called meat poison. "Meat poisoning is extremely harmful!" Zhang Luping, head of the Beijing Human and Animal Environmental Science Center, once again called for vigilance after witnessing an animal killing.
A dog market somewhere in Beijing. Zhang Luping describes it as a bloody place that only someone with a heart of stone could watch. Butchers snap a sharp, saw-toothed tool to a dog's head in front of other dogs, causing it to faint, hang it up, stab it to death and immediately skin it. The blood-drenched, steaming dog meat was hung in front of the group of dogs. Zhang Luping clearly saw the same end of the world dog from the collective barking to silence, dog eyes with tears. Eyes of horror, sadness, grief, anger, cursing ...... "If they could speak," she said, "they must be cursing the butcher as worse than a beast.
Dog meat like this does more harm than good to human health. The worst part is that the animals are killed to secrete a toxin that is very harmful to the human body, and modern scientific research has shown that this is a harmful adrenaline substance. Similarly, water-injected pigs, cows, snappers, chickens, etc. were killed not only secreted emergency toxins, there is sewage in the body, so meat, talk about how safe.
Cancer, mad cow disease, avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease, SARS and other diseases, in Zhang Luping's view, are directly related to animal meat poisoning. They are all some kind of rebellion of the animals in the underworld.
Cancer is positively related to meat.
This means that the more meat you eat, the more likely you are to get cancer. An investigation by a medical committee of prominent physicians from Concord Hospital and other organizations showed a positive correlation between meat and cancer. The survey report reads, "The incidence of cancer in Beijing was 5.2 times higher in 1996 than in 1955. We investigated the hospitals and residents in the urban area, and the proportion of colorectal cancer patients in the last century was less than 10 out of 100,000; in the 1980s, it was 20 out of 100,000; in the 1990s, it was 24 out of 100,000; and in 2001, it was 60.45 out of 100,000. Why are there more and more cancer patients in the city? Related to diet, eat more meat, do not eat roughage, less fiber ...... The growth rate of cancer is similar to the growth rate curve of meat .......
Another medical investigation group report said: "China was originally a low incidence of colorectal cancer area, less than 10 out of 100,000, but in the past two or three decades with the change in food structure, the increase in the amount of meat, the incidence rate is rising, reaching 14.31 out of 100,000, equivalent to the international level of moderate incidence. According to research estimation, after 2000, the number of colorectal cancer incidence will be 1.45 times higher than that in 1980s. The mortality rate of colorectal cancer in Shanghai increased by 75% from 1972 to 1989, and after 2000, the number of colorectal cancer incidence will be 1.45 times higher than that in the 1980s.
"Fifty percent of cancers are related to diet". In the "2004 Tianjin Tumor Prevention and Control Publicity Week", experts said. "The annual new cases of cancer in Tianjin are 16,000 and show a trend of growth and rejuvenation. According to the introduction, although cancer is related to genetic factors, it is mainly caused by environmental factors including diet, such as eating more meat, eating fine staple food and lack of fiber, i.e., less intake of coarse grains, miscellaneous grains, etc., which leads to the increase of the incidence of colorectal cancer; high-fat and high-protein intake is an important reason for the increase in the incidence of breast and colorectal cancers; and about 75 percent of the cancers of the head and neck are caused by the consumption of alcohol and smoking .......
Overseas studies have also confirmed that cancer is closely related to meat. According to a 1995 study by the British Vegetarian Society, the chances of premature death among vegetarians are only half that of non-vegetarians, and vegetarians are less likely to suffer from heart disease and cancer, mainly because of the low cholesterol content in the blood of vegetarians. ...... What's in meat and why does it cause cancer? In addition to the accepted medical theories, many schools of thought and experts point to carcinogens as the poison in meat. It has been said above that meat poisoning is scary, but this can't be emphasized enough. Guo Geng, China's leading environmental expert and head of Beijing's Elk Garden, said, "I'll cite one piece of evidence that you can understand: no matter how big or small the animal is bound to be killed, how painful, how resentful. Since the resentment, the toxin will flow all over the body, so the meat contains toxins. This kind of poison is very powerful. For example, if a woman who breastfeeds is angry, her milk contains toxins, and if the baby eats it, it will easily get sick. If you don't believe me, if you see a woman with a baby who is angry, squeeze out a little bit of her breast milk and put it in the sun for a while, then it will turn green, and normal breast milk is white when it is exposed to the sun.
How does a vegetarian diet prevent cancer? Dr. Johnson of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Hospital discovered a fact after years of buried research. Where the weekday intake of large amounts of potassium in the region, people with cancer is always low. It turns out that in human cells, the content of potassium is often ten times that of sodium, and when cells are divided, the content of potassium decreases while the content of sodium rises, and cancer cells are no exception, and every time a cell is injured, the potassium leaks out of the cell, and the cancer cells begin to multiply. Every time a cell is injured, potassium leaks out of the cell and the cancer cells start to multiply. When a person suffers from a chronic disease, if there is a way to increase the potassium content of the cells in the body, the chances of having cancer will be reduced. On the contrary, potassium in the body of the elderly is particularly prone to leakage from cell membranes, so the chance of cancer increases with age. Medical research has further found that if potassium is added to the culture medium of some cancer cells, they will suddenly turn into normal cells. The blood cancer cells of rats originally could not produce blood, but when the potassium in their culture medium was increased to ten times or more, blood production occurred. This proves that the ratio of potassium and sodium is the key to the formation of cancer cells. ...... The secret of dietary therapy against cancer in recent years is based on this principle, more potassium and less salt. Table salt and monosodium glutamate (a type of sodium salt) both contain a lot of sodium, while vegetables and beans contain a lot of potassium, so eat more fruits and vegetables and beans less salt and monosodium glutamate, is to prevent cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, an important initiative. .
Heaven made us vegetarian This statement has been circulating for many years and has been agreed and defaulted by many medical institutions and experts. That is, from the point of view of human structure and function, human beings may be more suitable for vegetarianism. Thus, it is said that man was originally a vegetarian animal, only because of various reasons, people ate meat, the result of retribution after retribution, a hundred diseases.
The medical profession has done research comparing the intestines of carnivores with those of humans, and in the case of the tiger, for example, its intestines look short and straight, without many wrinkles. As we know, meat is easy to rot, so God gave tigers short intestines so that the digestive residue of meat won't stay in the intestines for too long. Whereas the total intestines of man * * * are about 30 feet long, and the large intestine alone is five feet long, nearly three times as long as that of the tiger, and therefore it is not advisable for man to eat meat; for meat is liable to corruption, and is more liable to rot and fermentation in the temperature of the intestines, as we may imagine by the fact that the feces of herbivores have not that foul odor which is found in the case of meat-eaters. One can only imagine the amount of pathogenic bacteria and toxins that rotting meat can give birth to in the human intestines.
As for herbivores such as cows and sheep, God gave them several stomachs because they only eat grass, which has a lot of fiber, takes a long time to digest, and requires a lot of eating to maintain bodily functions ...... So they have several stomachs to ruminate in, and their intestines are even longer than those of humans. God does not want people to eat grass, we have grains, hard-shelled fruits, beans, fruits, etc. for food, the fiber of these foods is not as coarse as grass so difficult to digest, do not have to regurgitate, so a stomach is enough . One more thing, human molar teeth are well developed, suitable for grinding food, that is, suitable for eating grains and beans; while carnivores, with their sharp incisors and interlocking canines, are plainly intended to be used for seizing life and crunching the muscles. ...... Understanding this, one may understand why mankind is riddled with illnesses, because man goes against nature's intention and eats things that should not be eaten.
There is often a concern that vegetarian diets are not nutritious enough. The most common response of vegetarians to this concern is to laugh and not answer. They may be happy to compare themselves with meat eaters as to who is healthier. There's no doubt that vegetarians look healthier from every angle: they're lighter, they're more responsive, they have more brain power, they sleep easier, they need less sleep, they're more cheerful and therefore less likely to get depressed, they get colds less often and once they do get them they get well faster, they're less likely to be deficient in calcium, and better yet they're less prone to cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease - a major cause of Alzheimer's disease is fat meat caused by vascular aberrations. This year's national data set shows higher rates in the North than in the South, and more women than men. The people most at risk are older women in the North. They happen to be regular purchasers of fatty meat fillings ...... Theoretically, vegetarian diets are capable of obtaining higher quality nutrients than meat diets. The first step is to break a stereotype that meat is higher in protein than vegetarian foods. In fact, many vegetarian food protein than meat content: for example, a variety of nuts, melon seeds in the protein up to 30%, grains contain about 10%, beans in the protein content is even higher, nearly 40%, is twice as much as meat, soybean skin protein is higher than 50%, and soybean in the protein is a complete protein, easier for the human body to absorb.
People joke, Guangdong people make meat soup, but also as a northern man to eat bun (steamed bread) strong. People often use meat to supplement, in fact, meat not only protein is not as much as beans, but also a variety of food in the most lack of vitamins and minerals.
Peas, wheat, oats contain iron is twice as much as beef, almost every kind of plant in the iron than meat; meat calcium is not as much as vegetarian food: per 100 grams of food containing calcium, chicken for 5 (mg), beef for 8, pork for 12, fish for 30, peas for 71, mushrooms for 125, fungus for 207, nori for 850... ...Chinese people are generally deficient in calcium or have an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio due to their love of meat.
Even meat's best fat is always overshadowed by vegetarian food. Such as walnuts contain oil up to 66.9%; peanuts up to 48.7%, sesame seeds up to 48.23%, soybean up to 20.20% ...... fatty acids *** there are 13 kinds of animal fats and oils contain 6 kinds of vegetable fats but contain all, and animal fats are saturated fat, high cholesterol content, easy to trigger vascular sclerosis, high blood pressure, The animal fat is saturated fat, high cholesterol content, easy to cause hardening of blood vessels, high blood pressure, heart disease, and conducive to the propagation of cancer cells; plant fat is non-saturated fat, can promote the excretion of bile acids, reduce cholesterol, to avoid heart disease and a variety of cardiovascular diseases.
Vegetarian diet does not lack of nutrition, long-lived vegetarians themselves is the best proof.
An American medical organization wanted to conduct a comparative study of vegetarian diets, and while the meat group was easy to find, it wasn't so easy to find pure vegetarians. So they went to the temples in China, to the remote temples in Sichuan and Hunan, and it didn't matter what they asked, they were shocked. How old were the old monks, the ones who served as the control group? The average is more than 80 years old.
Vegetarianism makes the body strong.
The common belief that meat-eaters are strong and vegetarians are weak has probably been around for thousands of years. I'm afraid the reality will surprise all the meat-eaters who think they're stronger than vegetarians (vegetarians won't be surprised, they've known for a long time that they're stronger than meat-eaters), and it's a big reversal of our idea: the Olympics seem to be a place for vegetarians to show off their strength, and the Olympics became a place for vegetarians at some point. The first Olympic Games swimming champion Maureen Ross is a vegetarian, he is amazingly fast, durable and powerful, is the most prestigious sportsman, his appearance, set off the West's sportsman vegetarian trend.
A few more decades passed, and a specifically vegetarian theory of exercise emerged, in the form of The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Handbook, by Lisa. Doveman, a Miami sports nutritionist who herself competes in marathons and triathlons, has benefited greatly from a vegetarian diet in her high-volume sports career. She's also a coach for several Olympic athletes. She says a vegan diet works well for people who exercise a lot or are interested in getting fit.
She doesn't exaggerate the strength of vegetarians, she says: Meat-eaters can be just as explosive as vegetarians, but after the explosiveness, the vegetarian begins to show his strength in endurance, and the vegetarian's endurance is nowhere near that of the meat-eater. Just as the cheetah can't catch a gazelle in a single pounce, it will never catch up with the gazelle again, and the carnivore's king of runners will always be defeated in a race of endurance.
Thus Doveman says, "Olympic-level athletes or professional sports players don't have to eat meat, but a vegetarian diet can still make you a tough 'sports machine'." .
In her book, she lists the training secrets and recipes of seventeen of the world's top athletes, including Olympic jousting competitor Campbell, six-time Ironman triathlon champion Scottie, and professional American soccer player Schill. All of these people are eating full or basic vegetarian diets (e.g., no meat, just a little fish) Doveman said there are a number of benefits to eating more plants, one of which is that vegetables and fruits are rich in carbohydrates, "which can be helpful for long-distance running or sprinting to increase impulse power.
What makes the country drop its glasses is that the world's most famous king of middle-distance running, Carl Lewis, was a strict vegetarian. Lewis, a strict vegetarian, recalled his athletic career by saying, "I have found that one can be a successful athlete without animal protein. In fact, my best year of track running was the first year I ate a strict vegetarian diet. In addition, by continuing to eat a strict vegan diet, my weight is under control and I like the way I look. (I know that sounds silly, but we all want to like the way we look.) I like to eat a lot and I feel great. Here's my story.
The notion that eating meat makes you tough and powerful may have come from ancient barbaric times, when meat-eating clans such as hunter-gatherer clans and mountain bandits and pirates, who had nothing to eat but meat to feed their bellies, were often victorious in their attempts to overrun agrarian kingdoms, and the peaceful nature of the vegetarians was always overpowered by the barbarism of the meat-eaters, as in the case of the Huns and the Mongols, who were considered to be the "yellow plague". The Huns and Mongols swept through Europe twice in a thousand years, and the "civilized people" were shocked again and again by these purely carnivorous tribes that ate few vegetables. The concept of the bravery of the carnivore deepened again and again in the minds of mankind. But the Mongols, who defeated the Westerners, who were also meat-eaters, lost twice to the Japanese, who were herbivores, in the thirteenth century. According to history, the Japanese warriors, who ate little meat and only a little sashimi, but ate a lot of rice and vegetables, outclassed the Mongols and kept the steppe warriors and Goryeo soldiers at bay, and were defeated on the Japanese coast. The Mongols' progress in conquering the world without a rival was halted by the Japanese.
As we all know, ancient Rome was a society so rich that it was rotten. Even slaves got meat porridge and whatnot. But the gladiators, who needed bravery, physical strength and agility the most in this society, were vegetarians. In the Roman language, gladiators had a different name, "barley chewers". These gladiators normally ate pumpernickel bread or soaked barley. The movie Gladiator is a true reflection of their food, the yellowish, slimy stuff was probably a porridge of peas and oats. To know that they are not because of the abuse and must chew that barley, gladiators are generally owners of the manor, the rich, and even the governor of the baby, although they are slaves, but it is to make them face stick gold, let their pockets bulging slaves, just as now the master of the British castle has a noble thoroughbred horse, although the bit in the animal, but if necessary can be better than the master of the food. And those Roman slaves who chewed raw barley because they had to fight, to rush out in a life-and-death duel, had lessons in blood, and certainly knew what to eat that was better for stamina and valor and perseverance. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a man full of wine and meat being able to overcome these slaves who were lean and hard as iron. It should also be noted that a raw diet of vegetables and some grains has been proven by many nutritionists and medical doctors to be more beneficial than a cooked diet, as it leaves the natural nutrients intact. That's why they chew raw barley.
There is another example of the courage and health of vegetarians. That would be the Shaolin martial arts monks of China. Because of the movie and television works of nonsense, the Chinese public has always thought that the Shaolin monks are "wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha's heart to stay", which added a big "stain" to the famous temple, the masters came out many times to clarify that all the formal disciples of the Shaolin Temple are vegetarians, strictly in accordance with the rules of the revealed Buddhist sect. All official Shaolin disciples are vegetarians and practice in strict accordance with the rules of Buddhism. Indeed, the first major precept of Buddhism is to abstain from killing, even the weapons of the martial arts monks have never had any swords, at most a stick, not to take a human life for the sake of. Eating meat is bound to kill, and thus how could this Zen ancestor openly keep a bunch of drunken monks and destroy the prestige of Shaolin in the Buddhist community? Shaolin warriors are vegetarians should be certain, they are great, have ears must hear, have eyes **** witness, which shows that vegetarians can do than meat-eaters lighter Teng, more fierce, more robust work.
Vegetarianism makes one wise.
Are vegetarian or meat-eating peoples smart? There has been much debate on this point. In fact, the history is clear that, since ancient times, the Han Chinese is a vegetarian or known as semi-vegetarian people, it and those around the meat-eating clan tribes in the end who is smart, self-evident. The Chinese canon, the beauty of the material and the abundance of the people, all speak of a nation of creative brains active in the heavens and the earth. Even in modern times, when the Western powers lost the battle with the carnivorous nations, the question of whether a Westerner is smart or a Chinese is also open to debate.
India is a vegetarian country because of Hinduism (except for the Muslims, of course), and it is a matter of public opinion whether Indians are smart or not. In the world, the kings of intelligence - math and philosophy - are held by Indians. Recognized worldwide, the Indians are the best at mathematics, many of the world's mathematical masters are from India, so much so that Yu Xi to this day, India has become the first country of software; India's classical philosophy exceeded the ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, the study of things deep and systematic and even more than Hegel and Nietzsche as the representative of the Germanic (German) philosophy, the other countries are not able to look at the back of the top of their backs.
The most influential religions in the East also originate from India, and it goes without saying that the wisdom and profundity of Buddhism is so profound that those who study and believe in it, after their initiation, mostly come to a realization and exclaim: "It's too profound, it's too wise! Indeed, a Western scientist (I forgot his name) said that the more he studied, the more he felt that modern science is only confirming the discovery of Buddhism as early as 3,000 years ago. ...... The more ancient Hinduism, whose system is just as vast and rational as that of Buddhism ...... is widely spread in the West, and Jesus studied for a decade in India before going back to preach Christianity. Jesus studied in India for more than ten years and then went back to preach Christianity ...... The ancient Greek philosophy, which is still the most admired by the world's intellectual community, was also created by vegetarians, and the giants of ancient Greece, such as Socrates, Plato, and Pythagoras, were all strict vegetarians ...... Among the giants of the Renaissance, there were also many vegetarians. Among the greats since the Renaissance, there have been many vegetarians. We used to know a little about their works and political tendencies, but little about the life tendencies that shaped their entire lives, which were in fact one of their most important and essential dimensions. Leonardo da Vinci, Tolstoy, George Bernard Shaw, Gandhi, Albert Einstein (who was a strict vegetarian for a long time) why were they vegetarian? Because they all had within them a love and nonviolence that they considered most sacred. Unfortunately, another infamous person who was also a vegetarian was Hitler, and there is no doubt about the effect of a vegetarian diet on his intellect alone.
There's really not much to say about the fact that all of the above intellectual kingdoms that require the most brain power to build are the work of vegetarians.
One of the hallmarks of a vegetarian is mental agility. A sign of a carnivore is a dull mind. The Chinese have been repeatedly guarded by the West for being too flexible.
After changing to a vegetarian diet, many people have found their brains to be more flexible, their imaginations richer, their comprehension improved, their thinking quicker, and some of their memories increased....... In short, the brain's functioning is obviously getting better, and it's even better than it was when they were young and young at heart. In fact, children from all over the world since the young vegetarian diet tend to be particularly high intelligence, so it can be seen that the vegetarian diet to enhance brain power, it is a true thing.
Our ancestors made the same observation more than two thousand years ago! "If you eat meat, you will be brave and tough; if you eat grain, you will be intelligent and skillful." These are the words from the Da Dai Li Ji, written in black and white and passed down for so many generations.
Why a vegetarian diet makes the mind extra nimble.
Western scientists have found that the cells of the human brain have two kinds of power, positive and negative, which interact with each other
This is the first time that a vegetarian diet has been used.
