Tác dụng tốt của việc ăn chay

The most common way is to eat vegetarian meat and increase healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, beans, sesame, whole grain bran, unsaturated fat. It should be noted that people who are eating salty food when switching to a vegetarian diet often change both their lifestyle and their awareness of health and the environment. They tend to increase physical activity, aim to practice yoga, meditate, avoid cigarette smoke, alcohol and perhaps even better tolerance for stress.

The factors that affect the health well above are those that people who are vegan often don't have. Thus, it can be said that vegetarianism is more beneficial for health than eating salty. However, anything has two left and right sides, vegetarianism has its own disadvantages and will be mentioned in another article.

 Here is a summary of some of the most notable effects of vegetarianism:

1. Lose weight

Vegetarians are usually underweight and less likely to be obese than those who eat salty; thus, less prone to obesity diseases such as diabetes, gallstones, hypertension, coronary heart disease ... However, if you eat incorrectly, you may become skinny and emaciated. Children and teenagers if vegetarian can be dangerous for growth. Pregnant mothers are often underweight, have low weight gain and are at risk of low birth weight.

2. Reduce blood pressure

The blood pressure of vegetarians tends to be lower than those who eat salty and have less hypertension with age. Studies show that the more food you eat from animals, the higher your blood pressure tends to increase. However, lifestyle factors that have a good effect on blood pressure should not be overlooked. It is also found that vegetarians have less effect on blood pressure than meat-eaters.

3. Reduce coronary heart disease

Scientific studies show that the rate of vegetarians suffering from diseases and deaths is much lower than those who eat salty. The cause is thought to be due to high fiber, low fat, low cholesterol diets, high ratio of unsaturated fat and saturated fat. Coronary heart disease is associated with blood cholesterol. Vegetarians have a high level of cholesterol in their blood, especially LDL, much lower than vegetarians who use milk and meat eaters. In fact, the amount of fat in the blood depends on the amount and type of fat that vegetarians eat. At the same time, a low-tobacco lifestyle, exercise and light weight also contribute.

4. Reduce the risk of kidney stones

People who consume vegetarian calcium, oxalate and uric acid produce less urine than those who eat salty. And therefore, vegetarians have less kidney stones than people who eat salty.

5. Reduce the risk of cancer

Vegetarians are less ill and die from throat and throat cancer, prostate, especially colon than those who eat salty. The reason is that vegetarian food is high in fiber and low in soluble fatty acids. Fiber reduces primary primary acid degradation into secondary - which has been shown to cause colon cancer. Dissolved fatty acids and sterols, if present in feces, increase the risk of colon cancer. In addition, vegetarian foods contain many substances that have the potential to prevent cancer such as antioxidants and some plant chemicals. Once again, the lifestyle of vegetarians is usually healthy, preventing some types of cancer.

6. Reduce symptoms of bone and joint disease

The vegetarian diet is especially useful for some patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which significantly reduces the symptoms of arthritis. But be cautious because improper vegetarianism can cause nutritional muscle atrophy. For osteoarthritis, vegetarianism cannot cure the disease, but fasting can play a role in preventing disease. Vegetarians also suffer from osteoporosis like people who eat salty, but a meat-free diet, plenty of plant estrogen and plenty of physical activity are factors that help prevent osteoporosis.

7. In addition, fasting also helps reduce the risk of gallstones

Gastrointestinal and influential platelet disease reduces blood viscosity. Thus, a healthy vegetarian diet is not only due to the absence of food from animals but also due to the tendency to live asceticism, exercise, less contact with things that are harmful to health, keep the mind and mind pure. Fasting is not an unusual thing but merely a trend of eating. For those who want to switch from salty to vegetarian, this is the advice of medical researchers: should move slowly, first avoid red meat, then gradually to poultry meat, then finally to fish and water seafood. And also, again, vegetarianism also has its downside.
