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

Are 1/3 less likely to be obese 24.2% of mexicans suffer from extreme obesity
Lower incidence of coronary artery diseases Next to smokers, first in line to possibly suffer a hard attack
avoids pesticides Intakes artificial pesticides and chemicals used on animals and meat processes
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
