a male adult’s vegetarian’s diet…

Mangels, Reed, Ph.D. The Vegetarian Resource Group 1995-2012

the problem with meat is that we don’t ingest the amounts we should, we exceed them; this excess in eating animal derived products (specially red meat) causes severe health problems related to obesity, diabetes, heart problems, and hypertension

the average meat-eating woman eats 144 percent over the

recommended daily allowance!!

the average man eats 175 percent more.

Increase in cholesterol levels, saturated fat, and therefore

blocked arteries

our bodies are made to intake a certain amount of protein, we need it, but when we exceed in quantity, then our bodies reject it, and that is what happens with

meat diets; we exceed our bodies’ needs and that is not natural. its like an overflowing glass of water

all this becomes an important factor in obesity because obesity is caused by the excess of eating in a way that makes our metabolism slow, meat takes a long time to digest and when you don’t back it up with fiber you don’t clean

your body

this un-functioning metabolic and digestive system lead to weight gain

for some reason, many of the world’s most influential and intelligent people have been

vegetarian, with long life spans

• consuming fiber that meat does not contain, to cleanse your body

• keeping your arteries clear of cholesterol

• avoiding toxins (pesticides, preservatives, environmental pollutants)

• keeping yourself slim and fit

there really is no need to eat meat, a vegetarian diet provides the same amount of nutrients you need in a carnivorous diet, but without the

saturated fats, the levels of cholesterol, and the processed, un-natural ingredients

it is not necessary to become a full hard-core vegetarian, you can start by eating meat only twice a week

the possibility of extending your life span, reducing your vulnerability to a heart attack, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension are things worth

considering, and there are really not many draw-backs

vegizzio will be the first restaurant in guadalajara to offer these options daily, without having to sacrify delighting your taste buds
