Dai Daili says, "Eating meat is brave and fierce, and eating grain is wise and skillful." This is the theory that vegetarianism can improve wisdom, which is found in the earliest ancient books in China. This is very important for young intellectuals. In modern Japan, Dr. Hirayama Hiroshi, a national public health center, once found that "vegetarians have a weak appetite and meat eaters have a strong appetite;" Vegetarians are conscious, while meat eaters are confused; Vegetarians are quick-witted and meat-eaters are slow-witted. " His view coincides with the ancient Chinese saying that vegetarianism is wise.
recalling 4 years ago, when we were studying, the medical profession thought that if we wanted to improve our wisdom, we should eat more phosphorus and fiber. Its scientific basis is that the lack of phosphorus in cerebral cortex cells affects brain power; Nerves lack phosphorus, and communication is slow. As for iron deficiency, people suffer from anemia, headache, heartbeat, forgetfulness, physical fatigue and other diseases. Such people naturally have low academic performance. Food is so closely related to school that all young students must know the common sense of nutrition and the benefits of vegetarianism.
Anyone wants to be the most intelligent person in the world. Students, in particular, always want to read ten lines at a glance and never forget anything. In order to be a super homo sapiens, you have to make up your brain and body. China people have an old misconception that the human body is weak. With the help of meat, they think that eating liver and nourishing liver can naturally nourish the brain. In the past, science was not developed, and everyone didn't know that the brains of pigs, sheep and cows contained cholesterol. Under the misconception of eating and nourishing the brains, many rich children became dull, but they were not as smart as the poor children who "bite the roots of vegetables". Therefore, the society often hears some proverbs that encourage poor children, such as "a man should strive for self-improvement if he has no seeds", or "a man is a strange man if he bites the roots of vegetables", and even sighs that "how many white houses are out of office"! But who knows the truth that "vegetarianism is more intelligent"?
second, vegetarians increase compassion
vegetarianism is of great benefit to us human beings, whether it is to maintain good health or avoid karma. Expanding from individuals to social countries can bring social peace and world peace, which shows that the benefits of vegetarianism are countless. Among the many benefits, I think the biggest benefit of vegetarianism is to increase compassion.
The Brahma Sutra says, "A man who eats meat will cut off the seeds of Buddha's mercy, and all living beings will give it up when they see it." People who eat meat kill themselves, which is cruel behavior; This cruel heart, by extension, can harm others and benefit themselves, and do all kinds of evil. People who eat meat, animals and all beings, see his body, smell the dry air from his body after eating meat, and avoid it. For example, a butcher enters the village and a dog barks when he sees it. Vegetarian people are kind, growing day by day, and by extension, all sentient beings are happy and lovely, and all want to be happy and bitter. This is the fundamental principle that compassion is Buddhism and Taoism. There is a saying in Confucianism in China that "a gentleman cooks far away". In ancient times, in Qi Xuanwang, sheep were exchanged for cattle, and Mencius made it unbearable to show kindness to others, so that he could rule the world. This is similar to the Buddhist saying that "vegetarianism can increase compassion" and "compassion is the foundation of becoming a Buddha". The two great sages, East and West, were born in the world, and each reached the extreme. It really makes us ordinary people admire and admire.
Third, vegetarianism prevents cancer
Now, everyone talks about cancer discoloration. It is well known that smoking can cause lung cancer, but few people know that meat (especially barbecue meat) is also a cancer-causing killer.
according to the results of medical research, one steak is enough to produce carcinogens equivalent to 6 cigarettes. Therefore, if someone thinks that steaks, pork chops, barbecues and hamburgers are rich in nutrition and are good for health, it is really a wrong idea. It is very dangerous to bet on the health of yourself and your relatives and friends!
The research report points out that meat will produce a chemical substance (Melnylcholan threne) when it is grilled, which is a serious carcinogen. When this chemical substance is smeared on mice, it will lead to bone cancer, hematologic cancer's disease, gastric cancer and so on. What deserves our special attention is that cancer seeds are most easily propagated by patients who prefer meat, eggs, fish and acidic foods. If these patients still eat a lot of these animal foods, the blood becomes acidic, which is the hotbed of cancer cells, and cancer cells can multiply. On the other hand, if the acidity of blood is controlled and more vegetables and fruits are eaten, resulting in alkaline blood, cancer cells are not easy to reproduce due to malnutrition, and the purpose of inhibiting diffusion and metastasis can be achieved. At this time, with appropriate drug treatment, cancer cells will be easily extinguished because of their fragility.
Therefore, cancer prevention is not a miracle. As long as we can eat vegetables and coarse food to keep the blood moderately alkaline, terrible cancer will be isolated from us.
Fourth, lose weight by vegetarianism and improve your figure
Using vegetarianism to lose weight has the most remarkable effect and can take care of your health. The key is that plant food can make blood slightly alkaline, make the body's metabolism active, so as to decompose and burn the fat accumulated in the body and achieve the effect of natural weight loss.
Moreover, as long as the plant foods are properly ingested and properly blended, such as beans, roots and leafy vegetables, the fat, protein, vitamins and minerals needed by the human body will not be lacking; At the same time, low-calorie plant-based food enables people to maintain a proper weight and a light body without worrying about the threat of obesity and disease caused by excess calories. In this way, the complications caused by obesity, such as backache, laziness, weakness, panting, palpitation, hypertension, heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage, can also be swept away. Therefore, the vegetarian diet is beneficial and harmless. May all those who are worried about losing weight in the world be cool and healthy!
5. Vegetarianism is the most effective cosmetic method
Rough skin is caused by the erosion of residual toxins in the body. We usually eat animal foods such as meat, fish and eggs, which increases the amount of uric acid and lactic acid in the blood. After this lactic acid is excreted with sweat and stays on the skin surface, it will constantly erode the cells on the skin surface, making the skin without tension and elasticity, and it is easy to produce wrinkles and spots when it feels rough. If we eat alkaline vegetable fruits and vegetables for a long time, the lactic acid in the blood will be greatly reduced, and naturally we will not produce harmful substances, which will be discharged to the skin surface with sweat and damage the health of the skin. At the same time, the minerals and fibers in plant foods can remove harmful substances from the blood. This purified blood can play a full role, delivering enough nutrients and oxygen during metabolism, so that all organs of the body can be full of vitality, and the skin is naturally healthy, shiny, meticulous and elastic.
Hollywood is not a girl star. There is always one in their maintenance secret: all meat is forbidden one day in a week. In order to purify their blood, they try to eat less meat in their daily food. After seeing their bright skin, girl friends, should we also try vegetarian beauty therapy?
more and more people advocate vegetarianism. Some people are vegetarian for religious reasons, others are healthy, and some people kill two birds with one stone.
