元気になるための食事

 

卓越した健康の専門家は、Vegetarianになる事が、私達自身や家族にとって最良の選択肢であるという事を認めています。複合糖質、蛋白質、食物繊維、Omega-3脂肪酸、Vitamin、Mineralが豊富な肉なしの食事は、健康的な一生を支える食生活の基礎を形成し、子供や大人に最良の栄養をもたらします。主要な医療団体は、Balanceのよい、植物を元にした食事が健康によく、3つの主要な死因である、心臓病、癌、脳卒中などの多数の病気を予防するという事に同意しています。米国栄養士会は、Vegetarianが、“虚血性心疾患で亡くなる可能性が低く、Cholesterol値や血圧が低く、高血圧、2型糖尿病、前立腺癌、大腸癌になる可能性が低く、”肉食者よりも痩せる傾向があると述べています。(1) 菜食は、肉や乳製品に含まれている有害な飽和脂肪、Cholesterol、汚染物質を取り除き、私達に必要な全ての栄養素をもたらします。

 
心臓病や癌の罹患率を削減: “Vegetarian達は一番良い食事をしている。Vegetarian達は、冠状動脈性心臓病の罹患率が肉食者に比べて遙かに低い。心臓発作になる事は、ほとんどなく、癌の罹患率は、肉食者の40%である。”
―Framingham Heart Studyの指導者 William Castelli医師 (2)
力強い運動選手並みの体を形成: “多くのOlympic選手やProのSports選手がVegetarianなのは、肉食に比べ、健康に良いVeganの食事が、大きな利点を与えてくれるからです。健康に良いVeganの食事は、体重を減らすのに必要な、体力や持久力を与えてくれるでしょう。”
―Neal Barnard, M.D. (6)
健康なVegetarianの子供:
“肉ではなく、植物性の食品から栄養を摂って成長する子供達は、体重の問題、糖尿病、高血圧、一部のがんを患う可能性が低い。
―Benjamin Spock, M.D. (9)

植物を元にした食事には、長期にわたる利点もあります。菜食は、今日の主要な死因から私達を守ってくれます。心臓病を患う可能性は、肉食者に比べ50%低く、がんの罹患率は、40%低いという事が明らかにされています。(3,4) また、肉食者は、肥満になる可能性がVeganの9倍も高いという事が明らかにされています。(5)

肉や乳製品の消費は、心臓病、肥満、糖尿病、関節炎、骨粗鬆症、Alzheimer、喘息、Impotenceに関係があります。また、Vegetarianの免疫機構が肉食者よりも頑丈であるという事が明らかにされています。これは、流感のような病気の影響を受けにくいという事を意味します。(7) また、VegetarianやVeganが、肉食者に比べて、6〜10年以上長生きするという事も明らかにされています。(8)

植物を元にした食事は、子供にも最適です。Vegetarianの子供は、肉食の子供よりも背が高くなり、より高い知能指数を持ち、心臓病、肥満、糖尿病などの病気になる可能性が低いという事が明らかにされています。(10,11) また、VegetarianやVeganの食事に切り変える事で、年を取った人々でさえ、多くの慢性の病気を防いだり、覆す事さえ出来るという事も明らかにされています。

新しい生活を取り入れる事は、決して手遅れではありません。Vegetarianになって、自分の健康を大事にしましょう。無料のVegetarian Starter Kitを注文しましょう!

Eating for Life

 

Leading health experts agree that going vegetarian is the single best that thing we can do for ourselves and our families. A meat-free diet rich in complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals provides optimal nutrition for both children and adults, forming the foundation for dietary habits that support a lifetime of good health. Leading medical organizations agree that balanced plant-based diets are healthy and provide protection against numerous diseases, including our country’s three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; … lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer” and that vegetarians also tend to be slimmer than meat-eaters.1 Vegetarian foods provide us with all the nutrients that we need, minus the saturated fat, cholesterol, and contaminants found in meat and dairy products.

 
Reduced Risk for Heart Disease and Cancer:
"Vegetarian have the best diet. They have the lowest rates of coronary disease of any group in the country ... they have ... only 40 percent of our cancer rate."
―William Castelli, M.D.,director, Framingham Heart Study (2)
Strong and Athletic:
"A healthy vegan diet give important diet, which is why many Olympic and professional athletes are vegetarians ... A healthy vegan diet will give you the strength and stamina you need to leave those sluggish meat-eaters in the dust."
―Neal Barnard, M.D. (6)
Healthy Vegetarian Kids:
"Children who grow up getting their nutrition from plant foods rather than meats have a tremendous health advantage. They are less likely to develop weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer."
―Benjamin Spock, M.D. (9)

A plant-based diet has long-term benefits, too. It protects us against some of the leading killers in America today. Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to develop heart disease, and they have 40 percent of the cancer rate of meat-eaters.(3,4) Plus, meat-eaters are nine times more likely to be obese than vegans are.(5)

The consumption of meat and dairy products has been conclusively linked with heart disease, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and impotence. Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat-eating friends; this means that they are less susceptible to everyday illnesses like the flu.7 Vegetarians and vegans live, on average, six to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.(8)

A plant-based diet is the best diet for kids, too: Studies have shown that vegetarian kids grow taller and have higher IQs than their classmates, and they are at a reduced risk for heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other diseases in the long run.(10,11) Studies have shown that even older people who switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet can prevent and even reverse many chronic ailments.
