Switching to vegetarian food in 90-97% of cases prevents the development of cardiovascular disease. [Journal of the American Medical Association 176: 134-5, 1961] After the alcohol and tobacco consumption of meat is the main cause of mortality in Western Europe, USA and Australia. [Inter-Society Comission for Heart Disease Resources. Primary prevention of the arteriosclerotic diseases. Circulation 42: A53-95, December 1970] One reason for the damage the meat lies in the fact that the human digestive tract is not adapted to digest meat. Carnivorous animals have short intestines sravintelno (three times longer than the body), that allows to excrete toxins rapidly degradable and meat. Do herbivores intestines to six times longer than the body, as vegetable food decomposes much more slowly than meat. Man, like herbivores, has a long gut, so when he eats meat, formed in the body toxins, which hinder the work of the kidneys and contribute to the development of arthritis, rheumatism, gout and even cancer. In addition, the meat is treated with chemicals. As soon as the animals were killed, his carcass nichinaet decompose in a few days priobrataet gray-green color. During the meat-processing plants that prevent nitrites and other substances that are carcinogenic. Also in food animals intended for slaughter, too, adds a huge number of chemicals. People can avoid many cancers, reducing the consumption of meat and upotrelblyaya more vegetables and cereals. [American Academy of Sciences. Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, National Research Consul, National Academy Press, Wash., June 1982] The standard questions: Is it not natural for humans to eat meat? Is the body does not need animal protein? Correct answer: no. Anatomical structure – teeth, jaws and digestive system – a fit-to-eat vegetarian food. Dietetic Association amrikanskih notes that "the vast majority of people in the entire history of mankind prtyazhenii fed a vegetarian and mostly vegan pishey. Most of the world adheres to this until now. In the developed world, the habit of meat spread no more than a hundred years ago, after the refrigerator. However, even in the XX-th century the human body has not adapted to digest meat. Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus spent "a comparative analysis of external and internal body structure of humans and animals, which argues that natural food for man are fruits and vegetables. Dr. Paavo Airola, a specialist in nutrition and natural biology, says: "Twenty years ago it was thought that a daily intake of Proteins make up the 150g, but today Acknowledgment accepted standard has been reduced to 45g. Why?" Through research now know for certain that the organism does not need large amounts of protein and its daily rate is 30-45g. Excessive protein intake is not only useless, but damages the human body, moreover, it can cause diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. (more…)
