In the last half a year I very much reduced the amount of meat consumption. I noticed behind him, what my feeling was a lot better. I'm not saying that I fully peretsla eat meat. Due to the fact that I live with my parents, I can not completely give up meat, as the whole family eats meat. But I want to completely give up from him at least a month to see the differences, if I like it, I plan to continue to use him no more. Since the Internet is a lot of debate about this, I want to personally check it out on my body.
A very good friend of mine for five years do not consume meat. He told me a lot about it, but nevertheless I want to walk this path alone. Let's look at the main advantages of vegetarianism
1. Statistically vegetarians slimmer and healthier than those who eat meat. In fact, a vegetarian diet really helps this. In one important BUT: to be a negative energy balance. That is not to gain too much, vegetarians still have to keep track of calorie intake. After 100 g of any oil of about 1000 kcal. This means that, theoretically, a vegan can consume as many calories, how much and carnivore. In fact, some vegetarians stop eating meat, go on sweets, fried potatoes and biscuits, which can lead to even more weight gain.
2. Since the only additional source of energy for those who do not consume animal products, is located in the muscles, the vegans have to force yourself to move a lot, but in this case it is possible replenish the body's energy in the form of lactic acid. And see for yourself - all vegetarians are always on the move - Galina Shatalov runs through the deserts, Paul Bragg climb mountains, Leo Tolstoy plowing by horse, Porfiry Ivanov - runs a day for 70-140 km. Spending while moving only 5% glycogen in the muscles, it gets 95% of the energy in the form of lactic acid. By the way, this is exactly because of what is useful morning gymnastics - glycogen stores in the liver are exhausted for a night to recharge the body with energy, it is necessary to work a little muscle, then the released lactic acid (lactate), fill energy reserves.
These are two major plus, I'll be glad to know with whom you are, meat-eater or vegetarians?
