Vegetarian Diet Officially Recognized as Healthier

A vegetarian diet is officially recognized as healthier in all respects than a diet that includes meat products. The only reason why people continue to eat meat is habit, custom, addiction – something to emphasize. A study conducted by The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey proves that you can not only live without meat, but also be much healthier and more enduring. These findings are based on a study of more than 13,000 people. The vegetarians surveyed were not only leaner, but also healthier compared to their meat-eating opponents.

The results of the study were published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association: “If you’re worried about things like weight control, eating enough fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamins A, C, and E, and also concerned about reducing your intake of total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, good news awaits you: a vegetarian diet is the answer to all your questions.” The benefits of a plant-based diet have exceeded our expectations. It not only helps to reduce weight, but has an excellent effect on the whole body - maintains cholesterol levels and pressure in normal, reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and hypertension. "

Already, many doctors at the highest level have recognized that eliminating animal products from the diet is a healthier diet. The question is, why do so many people still recommend it?

Commentary by Dr Barnard (pcrm.org):

“A vegetarian diet is not only good for those who watch their weight, it also contains more nutrients than a meat-based diet.” Given that every second American would be good to lose weight, the information is more than relevant. But, unfortunately, the players in the meat industry are so strong that the recognition of a vegetarian diet at the state level is very difficult. ?

On June 2, 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture replaced the standard food pyramid with a more visual MyPlate icon, very reminiscent of the Power Plate, the food system on which this study, published a year earlier, was based.



This initiative by the state gives researchers hope that the vegetarian diet will soon be recognized as healthier at the state level.
