It is well documented that vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat. In some
cases, vegans have better health than lacto-ovo vegetarians. Although many vegetarians
also exercise and avoid smoking, evidence indicates that their good health is largely due
to diet. One study of 30,000 people in California compared vegetarians and meat eaters
who, aside from their dietary differences, had very similar lifestyles and health practices.
The vegetarians were less likely to be obese, or to have high blood pressure, diabetes,
rheumatoid arthritis, or colon cancer. They were also less likely to die from heart disease.
In fact, the vegetarians were healthier even than people who ate meat only occasionally.
Even when vegetarians were fatter than meat eaters, they had lower cholesterol levels.

Points To Ponder

      

The best answer to excessive levels of uric acid,
the condition known as gout, and similar arthritic-
like diseases, is to stop the eating of dead animals.
Eat a flesh-free diet for 40 days and see what happens.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
There are consequences for everything we consume.
Everything that you eat, drink and think really matters.

Due to the power and corrupting influence of Big Pharma, the teaching
of nutritional science and the use of vitamin and herbal supplements is
not taught to any significant extent in our medical schools. The obvious
reason is that teaching this science reduces the use of prescription drugs.

Words For Today

Albert Einstein

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase
the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as
the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -- Albert Einstein

"No matter how good the diet is, we tend to exceed the self
cleaning capacity of our bodies. Uric acid, (a byproduct
of meat consumption), calcium crystals, and many other
wastes and poisons get stored in tissues and joints. They
make us stiff and may cause many diseases. In Kundalini
Yoga, muscle stretching along with internal massage bring
waste back into circulation so that the lungs, intestines,
kidneys and skin are able to remove it." -- Yogi Bhajan

"In each and every environment, good
health and sustained wellness is dependant
on the rapid removal of waste. In terms of our
personal health, one needs to void solid waste two to
three times a day or once between each meal, without
straining, to maintain basic health and wellness. Toxins can
be harmless if removed quickly from the body." -- Hari Singh

'Meat' the Culprit

Why do people choose meatless diets?
See From Farm To Fridge. Viewer discretion advised.

People choose a vegetarian diet for a variety of reasons. (Meet celebrities who do not eat dead animals, here.)

Many choose it to improve their health or to decrease the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer.

Others go vegetarian due to concerns about world hunger and the environment, because large-scale production of animal foods uses land that could otherwise be used to grow plant-based foods, and is a major cause of deforestation and soil erosion worldwide.

Still others are concerned about the presence of antibiotics, hormones, pesticide residues, or disease-causing agents (as with mad cow disease) that may be present in meat.

Some vegetarians object to inhumane practices of modern-day animal farming, so their reasons for being vegetarian are largely ethical.

Some vegetarians believe that humans are not physiologically suited to meat eating; humans have more in common with herbivorous animals than with carnivorous animals in terms of the structure and function of our teeth and our digestive tract.

Finally, some people choose vegetarianism in an attempt to live more simply and economically, and in closer harmony with the way most of the world’s population eats.

What do the advocates say?

      

Bread, cereal, rice, pasta group, 6-11 servings daily.
Vegetable group, 3-5 servings daily.
Fruit group, 2-4 servings daily.
Dry beans, nuts, seeds, eggs, and meat substitutes group, 2-3 servings daily.
Milk, yogurt, and cheese group, 2-3 servings daily.
Fat, oils, and sweets, sparingly.

Cows emit 18% of the world's greenhouse gases.

Vegetarians have lower blood pressure even when they eat the same amount of salt as meat eaters and exercise less. Researchers have known since the beginning of the 1900s that feeding meat to vegetarians causes their blood pressure to rise.

Many studies show that vegetarians have less colon cancer than meat eaters. The composition of bacterial flora in the colon differs between vegetarians and people who eat meat in ways that could possibly affect cancer risk. (Have you ever met a vegetarian alcoholic? Let us know here.)

Many factors in a vegetarian diet contribute to the better health of vegetarians. These factors include:

Vegetarians consume two to three times as much fiber as do meat-eaters. This helps to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels, and protect against colon cancer.

Vegetarians consume more antioxidants, which are found in a wide variety of plant foods. Antioxidants protect cells from oxygen-induced damage and reduce the risk for heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and other diseases.

Vegetarians consume more phytochemicals than do meat eaters, special compounds found in plants. Many phytochemicals have a wide range of protective effects in the human body. They help to detoxify carcinogens, stimulate the immune system, regulate cell growth (which helps to fight cancer), and reduce some of the harmful effects of excessive exposure to hormones.

Vegetarians eat more isoflavones than do meat eaters. These compounds, found mostly in soy foods, are another type of phytochemical. Research shows that isoflavones may reduce the risk for prostate cancer and may improve bone health.

Vegetarians consume much less saturated fat and cholesterol than do meat eaters. This helps to explain why they have significantly lower levels of blood cholesterol. One study showed that blood cholesterol levels were 14% lower in lacto-ovo vegetarians and 35% lower in vegans compared to meat-eaters. Lower intakes of saturated fat reduce the risk for heart disease and possibly for diabetes and cancer.

Vegetarians do not consume heme iron, a type of iron found in meat that appears to increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Vegetarians do not eat red meat, which has been linked to increased cancer risk in many studies. Red meat consumption stimulates the production of mutation-causing compounds in the colon and is linked to increased damage to DNA.

Note: We know of no vegetarians that are alcoholics.

What do the critics say?

Some folks just can't live without eating dead flesh.

Critics of vegetarianism claim that people who choose this diet will have to “balance incomplete proteins” to synthesize complete protein in the body. Proteins that come from fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grain products are only “incomplete” in the sense that they do not provide all nine essential amino acids (protein building blocks) at a single meal; thus, according to critics, a vegetarian (and especially a vegan) must be careful to consume appropriate quantities of complementary proteins each day to ensure that he or she is getting enough dietary protein.

Contrary to this popular belief, inadequate protein intake is rarely a concern for vegetarians. Better understanding of protein nutrition shows that, for adults, it is not necessary to consume special combinations of foods to meet requirements for the right balance of amino acids. Many plant foods, such as grains and legumes, provide protein. Soy foods and dairy products are particularly rich in high-quality protein. Protein needs are easily met when vegetarians consume a variety of plant foods and eat enough food to meet calorie needs.

Critics also point out that there is no way to get vitamin B12 via food except through animal products. Tempeh and other fermented soy products do not contain consistent enough quantities of B12 to meet the body’s requirements. Vegetarians must therefore eat B12-fortified foods or take vitamin supplements on a daily basis to prevent a deficiency.

Some critics fault vegetarian, and particularly vegan, diets for not providing sufficient calcium. In truth, most people, not just vegetarians, eat less than optimal amounts of calcium. Dairy products are a good source of dietary calcium, but they are not the only source. Green leafy vegetables and tofu are also good sources, and are usually eaten in large quantities by vegetarians. Vegans—who eat no animal products—are the most likely to suffer from calcium deficiency. Many Americans—vegetarians and meat eaters alike—could benefit from taking a calcium supplement.

Vegetarians eat less iron than non-vegetarians, and the iron they eat is somewhat less absorbable. As a result, vegetarians are more likely to have reduced iron stores.

However, iron deficiency is not usually caused by a lack of iron in the diet alone; an underlying cause—such as iron loss in menstrual blood—often exists. Although iron is found in a variety of different foods, its availability to the body (bio availability) varies significantly. This is determined by whether it is found in the form of heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found only in meat, fish, and poultry. It is absorbed much more readily than non-heme iron found primarily in fruits, vegetables, dried beans, nuts, and grain products, such as bread and iron-fortified breakfast cereals. Including a source of vitamin C at each meal improves absorption of vegetarian-source iron.

Strict vegans may become iodine deficient if they do not consume enough iodine, readily available in iodized salt.

Very few foods are good sources of vitamin D, which is why milk is fortified with it. Vegetarians who do not consume milk should be sure to get 20 to 30 minutes of sun exposure every day since this promotes the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. People who live in cloudy, smoggy, or northern areas, and people who do not leave their residences, need foods fortified with vitamin D. These fortified foods include breakfast cereals and some brands of soy milk and rice milk. Since people with dark skin make vitamin D less efficiently, they may also need supplemental sources of vitamin D or increased sun exposure. See What About Gout? See Ways To Perfect Health.

Why And How To Eat Fruit
By Dr. Oz

FRUIT IS A MOST IMPORTANT FOOD

We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping it into our mouths. It's not that easy. It's important to know how and when to eat fruit.

What's the correct way to eat fruit?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL
Fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach.

Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

Let's say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it's prevented from doing so.

In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You've heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!

There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT the concentrated juice from the cans. Don't drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't get the nutrients at all. You get only the taste. Cooking destroys all of the vitamins.

EATING A WHOLE FRUIT is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you will be surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!

KIWI Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!

AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.

STRAWBERRY Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.

DRINKING COLD WATER after a meal can mean Cancer!

Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies to you. It's nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you've just consumed, which slows digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. -- See How To Identify A Stroke. See New Aspirin For Heart Attack.
