The Vegetarian Advantage

Types of Vegetarian Diets

Types of Vegetarian

Understanding an individual’s definition or degree of ‘vegetarian

diet’ is extremely important

Theoretically, this term refers to someone who chooses no meat, fish

or poultry. But there are many variations to this basic definition.

Types of vegetarian diets

Plant-based Diet

The term “plant-based diet” describesthe eating patterns of those whodecrease their use of animal productsand increase their use of plant foodseven though they do not intend tobecome vegetarians

Semi-Vegetarian Diet

A semi-vegetarian diet

may include fish and/or chicken

but no red meat

Pesco-Vegetarian

A pesco-vegetarian

includes dairy products and

eggs but no animal flesh

with the exception of

fish.

Lacto-Vegetarian Diet

A lacto-vegetarian diet

includes dairy products, but no animal flesh, eggs or products

containing eggs.

Ovo-Vegetarian Diet

An ovo-vegetarian

diet

includes eggs

but no animal flesh

or

dairy products

Vegan Diet (‘Strict’ or ‘Total’

Vegetarian Diet)

A vegan diet only includes plant-based

products including cereals and grains,

vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. It is

devoid of any animal derived foods

including meats, fish, chicken, eggs,

Dairy products.

Macrobiotic Diet (‘Zen’ Diet)People who choose a macrobiotic diet avoid

meat, chicken, sometimes fish, dairy

products, eggs, vegetables of the nightshade

family (potatoes, tomatoes, green capsicum,

eggplant), tropical fruits, and processed

sweeteners. A macrobiotic diet generally

promotes the use of wholefoods and also

incorporates Asian sea vegetables.

Fruitarian Diet

Fruitarian diets include fruits as well as

vegetables that are botanically classed as

fruits(such as tomatoes, eggplant,

avocado), nuts and seeds.

Raw Food Diet

These diets include vegetables, fruits,

nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, sprouted

beans all consumed in the raw state.

Types of Vegetarian

Obtaining an adequate nutrient intake with a macrobiotic, fruitarian or raw food diet can be difficult, particularly for children and pregnant women.

The SDA Church recommends the lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet

Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

Environmental Concerns

Many people now give consideration to the

environmental aspects of food production and

Choose a plant-based diet for the more

favourable environmental effects,such as

increased sustainability from the production of

plant-based foods.

Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

Environmental Concerns

One acre of wheat will produce 800,000 calories,

one acre used to raise beef generates only 200,000

Eating beef returns only 4% of calories the steer

consumed, and 10% of the protein it consumed.

It takes 25 times more water to produce a kilo of

beef than it does to produce a kilo of vegetables.

Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

Animal Rights

Concern for animal welfare has created another group

of vegetarians, some of whom accept dairy and eggs

(because an animal has not been slaughtered in their

production), while others totally exclude animal

products in the name of preventing cruelty to animals

and as an objection to inhumane farming practices.

Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

Weight Control

Some people (often teenage girls) may choose to become

vegetarian with the intention of controlling their weight

As with other extreme diet changes, the sudden

adoption of restrictive vegetarian diets may be masking

the signs of an eating disorder.

Reasons for Becoming a VegetarianReligious Beliefs

Some religions such as Sikh, Buddhists,

Hindus, Jews and Seventh-day Adventists

include vegetarian dietary practices as part

of their religious belief system.

Reasons for Becoming a VegetarianReligious Beliefs

After the flood, God permitted the consumption of flesh food…”for your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning; of every beast I will require it of man.” Gen 9:1-5

Reasons for Becoming a VegetarianAesthetics

The thought of eating dead animals

doesn’t appeal.

Mary-Tylor Moore was a vegetarian because

she could not stand the thought of “eating

anything with a face.”

Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

Health

Some perceive the avoidance of red meat as a healthy

dietary option (due to the reduced intake of saturated

fat and cholesterol), while others focus on the health

benefits of a plant-based diet providing plenty of

vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, antioxidants, and

phytochemicals, many of which are found exclusively

in plant foods.

Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

HealthStudies have shown that vegetarians have lower rates of

many diseases, and have an improved life expectancy:

cardiovascular disease obesity

hypertension constipation

some cancers kidney stones

type 2 diabetes gall stones

Problems with meat-Saturated Fat

All animal foods contain an unhealthy high

level of saturated fats

Saturated fat in the diet is a more significant

cause of an elevated cholesterol than the

amount of cholesterol we consume in our

food

Saturated fats and cholesterol are associated

with increased risk of heart disease

Problems with Meat-Cholesterol

A person consuming 2000 calories/day and

200mg cholesterol, who increases cholesterol

intake to 600mg/day, increases heart attack risk

by 30%

A person consuming 600mg cholesterol/day

who reduces this to 200 mg/day, lowers risk of

death from all causes by 37% - equivalent to

3.4 years

Problems with Meat-Excess protein Too much protein in the diet is associated

with increased stress on liver and kidneys

Excess organ meat consumption is associated with increased risk of gout

High protein consumption can lead to excess homocysteine production and resultant blood vessel diseases

Problems with meat: Disease

Meat products in most countries contain various parasitic diseases (Trichinosis, Hydatids)

Bacterial infections are common -Salmonella, Listeria

Viral diseases such as Bird flu

Prion diseases such as mad cow disease

Problems with meat-Disease

Hormones

Antibiotics

Mercury in fish

Dioxins

Vegetarian health advantages

Less CancerWho consume meat on 4 or more days a

week, had a 66% higher mortality from ovarian cancer, and 41% higher mortality from prostate cancer

Consumption of meat, poultry and fish is associated with a doubling of the risk of bladder cancer

Vegetarian health advantages

Less Cancer

The consumption of both red meat and white meat more than doubled the risk of colon cancer

Those who eat the most red meat have 2.5 times the risk of developing cancer (any type) than those who eat the least red meat.

Vegetarian health advantages

Less obesityMeat eaters had 2.5 times the risk of being

obese compared with vegetarian Adventists

Adventist vegetarians: men 8% and women 16% were >130% of their ideal weight. For Adventist non-vegetarians, the proportions were 20% and 32% respectively.

Vegetarian health advantages

Less obesity

Obesity doubles the risk of heart attack in Adventist men

Obesity increases the risk of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and several others.

Vegetarian health advantages:

Less osteoporosisVegetarian women between ages 50 to 89,

lose only 185 of their bone mass, whereas non-vegetarians lose 35%, even when they have the same amount of calcium in their diets

The bone density of 80 year-old vegetarians is comparable to that of 60 year-old non-vegetarians

Vegetarian health advantages

Less heart diseaseMeat users in the general population in their

40’s have four times as many heart attacks as vegetarian men.

Adventist men who consumed beef at least 3 times per week had a 60-70% increased risk of fatal coronary heart disease. For women, 30%

Vegetarian health advantages

Less heart diseaseAdventist men who adopted a vegetarian diet

early in life (before age 20) had half the risk of a fatal heart attack compared with those who did not adopt a vegetarian lifestyle until after 50 years.

Those who adopted the vegetarian lifestyle in their 30’s had 1/3 the number of fatal heart attacks compared with those who adopted the lifestyle in their 50’s

Vegetarian health advantages

Less Diabetes (Type II)Adventist men who are non-vegetarians

have 3.8 times the risk of having “diabetes” on their death certificates as do vegetarians

Adventists have less than half the mortality from diabetes as compared with the general population

Vegetarian Health Advantages

Less Strokes

Non-vegetarians had a risk of

stroke that was 30% higher than

seen in vegetarians

Vegetarian Health Advantages

Less DementiaMeat eating doubles the risk of dementia

Vegetarians have a delayed onset of dementia

(still may develop dementia, but at a much

older age)

Vegetarian Health Advantages

Vegetarians Live Longer

Adventists at age 30 have a life expectancy of

7.28 years longer than non-Adventists

Adventist vegetarians have a life expectancy of

up to 12 years longer than non-Adventists

Humans, like other

naturally

vegetarian

animals, have 28

feet long small and large intestine

“90% of all disease and discomfort is directly or indirectly related to an

unclean colon”

Royal Academy of Physicians of Great Britain

ANIMAL FLESH

If you want to be healthy, stop ingesting animalflesh.

Every single time you ingest animal flesh yourbody suffers dreadful consequences.

Meat is highly toxic and truly breaks your bodydown!

Amazing shifts occur in people’s quality of lifewhen they stop consuming animal products – butdon’t take my word for it; just try it on for 10days, and see how you feel.

Spend just 10 days without eating meat.

Do you know what goes into these mass-produced ‘food animals’? Cement dust,radioactive material, dead carcasses, animalfaeces, etc. Anybody who has any intelligenceat all KNOWS that eating such mass-producedanimal flesh is stupid.
