Chinese people, who have always been particular about good food, pay more attention to vegetarian food, fruits and light food as their living standards improve.

Many big cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Harbin, Shanghai, Xi'an, and Hangzhou have already established vegetarian restaurants and vegetarian shops, and their business is booming day by day.

Vegetarianism has been popular in Western developed countries for many years.

Long-term research in the scientific and medical circles has confirmed that vegetarianism is of great benefit to human health.

Some experts pointed out that this century is an era of vegetarianism that advocates nature, health and practices human environmental protection.

A light and simple diet can reduce the incidence of disease.

Some people once thought that carnivorous animals are more ferocious and strong, so they concluded that it would be good for people to eat more meat.

In fact, this is a big misunderstanding.

The ancients said: If you want to live forever, your intestines should be clean.

Relevant experts pointed out that the intestines of animals are very short, and the absorption and excretion cycle of meat after eating is also very short.

However, the intestines of the human body are much longer than those of animals, and it is impossible to discharge the waste after eating meat in a short period of time. This may contaminate the internal organs and cause illness. Intake of too much meat will cause acidic blood.

According to clinical observations, 70% of human diseases occur in acidic bodies, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, etc., which are mostly caused by eating too much meat.

Relevant scientists studied the food composition of seven countries and found that the countries with the highest meat consumption also had the highest rates of coronary heart disease and mortality among their citizens, while vegetarians had relatively lower rates of coronary heart disease and mortality.

"Huangdi Nei Jing" says: "The changes in the paste are enough to cause big boils, and the feeling is as if it is weak." This means that people who eat fish and meat and the thick flavor of the paste for a long time are enough to develop big boils on their bodies. For this kind of people,

The possibility of getting sick is as easy as accepting something from an empty container.

Experts generally believe that vegetarian foods are rich in variety, nutritious, delicious, clean and hygienic, and can help reduce the body's blood fat content and avoid pathological changes caused by improper cooking of meat. Vegetarians are bound to have fewer diseases and live longer.

the result of.

There is an investigation report. In 1985, the third department of Shanghai Eighth Five Hospital conducted a comprehensive physical examination on 100 vegetarians and 100 non-vegetarians in Suzhou and Shanghai. The results showed that the blood viscosity of the non-vegetarians was significantly higher.

Higher than vegetarians, among 100 vegetarians, only 18 people suffer from cardiovascular diseases, while 67 meat eaters have no disease; among 100 vegetarians, 57 have no disease; among 100 meat eaters, only 57 have no disease.

8 people. The subjects of this examination are all elderly people over 60 years old. It proves that vegetarians will not have their blood viscosity increase as they age.

As we all know, high blood viscosity is the cause of coronary heart disease and various chronic diseases.

Therefore, the impact of vegetarianism on human health is as follows: First, it can prevent high blood pressure.

Someone once checked the blood pressure of most vegetarian Mormons and found that their blood pressure was 4 to 5 degrees lower than that of meat eaters. Some people's blood pressure will immediately drop by a little 3 degrees after they stop eating meat for a few months. However,

, if you resume eating meat, your blood pressure will return to its original state within a few weeks.

Second, it can lower cholesterol.

Vegetarian foods contain less cholesterol than meat-based foods, while pure vegetarian foods contain no cholesterol at all. Vegetarians have lower blood cholesterol levels than ordinary people, and vegans have the lowest levels.

Harvard Medical School in the United States conducted an experiment on vegetarianism. If a vegetarian eats half a pound of beef a day, his cholesterol will quickly increase by 19%, and his pulse rate will also accelerate.

When the experiment ended and they returned to a vegetarian diet, their cholesterol returned to its original state within 10 to 14 days.

The British medical community conducted a follow-up survey on 1,100 subjects and found that if cholesterol and blood pressure are properly controlled, heart disease can be effectively prevented, and the rate of heart disease among vegetarians is much lower than that among meat eaters.

Third, vegetarians are less susceptible to cancer.

Scientists have confirmed that various cancers are related to dietary structure. Long-term high-fat diet will promote thymus atrophy and inhibit the immune function of lymphocytes. People's continuous intake of high-fat foods will only increase the risk of breast cancer, intestinal cancer, prostate cancer, etc.

incidence and mortality, and vegetables and fruits contain inexhaustible anti-cancer factors.

A survey by scientists found that Shanghainese in the United States are 4 to 7 times more likely to suffer from cancer than Shanghainese in China. This may be directly related to the American high-fat diet.

Fourth, vegetarians are less likely to suffer from gallstones.

Medical experts from the University of Oxford in the UK conducted an experiment on 700 vegetarian women and concluded that their chance of suffering from gallstones is only one-half of that of the average person; fifth, vegetarians are less likely to suffer from diabetes.

Relevant research reports point out that meat or fat will hinder the metabolism of insulin, so vegetarians are less likely to suffer from diabetes. A survey that followed 25,000 experimenters for 21 years fully confirmed this; sixth, vegetarians are less likely to suffer from bone disease

Porosis.

After menopause, the bone remodeling function will deteriorate significantly and lead to osteoporosis. However, research shows that the rate of mineral loss in the bones of vegetarians is only half that of meat eaters.

Regarding the benefits of a light diet, Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of the modern revolution, once expressed it well in the article "Chinese People Should Keep Chinese Dietary Laws". He said: "China not only has many food inventions, but also the beauty of cooking methods is unparalleled by other countries.

The Chinese people's eating habits coincide with scientific hygiene, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people in other countries.
