The benefits of eating Zen food
1. Because plant food does not contain harmful substances that pose a threat to the cardiovascular system, Zen food can reduce the occurrence of vascular diseases.

2. Zen food can reduce the incidence of cancer. Especially rectal cancer and colon cancer: this is a factor containing a lot of cellulose, which can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, discharge harmful substances in feces in time, and reduce the damage of harmful substances to intestinal wall. According to American data, the cancer incidence of vegetarians is 20% to 40% lower than that of meat eaters.

3. Zen food can reduce kidney load. Zen food can play a role in making the kidney rest for patients with renal insufficiency: changing the patients with renal failure to vegetarian diet, together with the intake of dairy products, can not only reduce the burden on the kidney, but also reduce the intake of protein, killing two birds with one stone.

4. Zen food is also good for preventing osteoporosis. As we all know, the elderly (especially postmenopausal women) advocate eating more calcium-containing foods in order to prevent osteoporosis, and vitamin C is beneficial to the absorption of calcium. Many plant foods (such as green vegetables, tomatoes and some melons and fruits) are rich in vitamin C. On the contrary, animal foods sometimes deprive people of their ability to use calcium. Therefore, it is suggested that Zen eaters might as well drink some milk to supplement the calcium needed by the human body, which will help to increase the density of bones.
