Long Life With Vegetarian Diet

In order to maintain health, most experts advise to adopt a balanced diet is a combination of carbohydrates, proteins such as meat, vegetables, and fruits. But a new study has revealed that being a vegetarian is more healthy and long life make.
In detail, the study says that people who limit their intake of meat they consume and rely on the consumption of fruits and vegetables are less likely to die within a specified period.
The conclusion was obtained after Orlich and his colleagues looked at data from 73 308 men who were recruited from several churches in the United States and Canada between 2002-2007.
At the beginning of the study, participants were asked about their eating habits and are divided into several categories based on the frequency of participants when eating dairy, eggs, fish and meat.
Overall, 8 percent of the participants is a vegetarian who does not eat meat at all while the other 29 percent belonging to the lacto-ovo-vegetarians who do not eat fish or meat but still drink milk and eat eggs. 15 percent of participants sometimes eat meat, including fish, fisheries.
After that, researchers used a national database to determine how many participants who died to date as of December 31, 2009. Was known seven people died (any cause) per 1,000 people who eat meat every year. Though vegetarian mortality rates only 5-6 cases per 1,000 vegetarian every year.
Interestingly, he got the biggest benefits of the plant-based diet.
However have warned that they can not say if it adopts the style of a vegetarian diet would prevent a person from death, because there may be other factors not measured in this study.
Then everyone switches it necessary to be a vegetarian? I do not think everyone should be a vegetarian, but if they want it, this study shows that the positive effects on health.
If not, expert suggested to further restrict the use of added sugars, refined grains or refined grains and saturated fats, including eating dairy, eggs, fish and meat in moderation.
