WHY WE SHOULD CONSUME LESS ANIMAL FOODS
Turkey Medicals member Internal Medicine Specialist Prof. Dr. in Antalya Turkey noted that animal-weighted nutrition is harmful to our health in many ways.
“Many scientific studies in Turkey show that a vegetable diet rich in vegetables and fruits, whole grains, healthy fat and healthy protein reduces the risk of chronic diseases,” said Professor of Internal Medicine Dr. listed 5 differences between them, stating that plant foods are healthier in every respect than animal foods:
.
THEIR ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY IS POOR
- Vegetables and fruits contain 80-90 percent water and plenty of fiber on average. Animal foods, on the other hand, contain less water and are absolutely free of fiber. According to scientific research, a vegetable-fruit-based diet reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and type-2 diabetes.
. - Plant foods have high antioxidant capacity and phytonutrient content, while animal foods have poor antioxidant capacity. Therefore, plant foods also slow down the pace of aging.
.
RIGHT KNOWN WRONG
- People especially consider animal products as a source of protein and therefore consume them. However, when calories are calculated, 100-calorie Turkish broccoli, spinach, cabbage, such as plant foods in Turkey have twice as much protein as 100-calorie meat. Fresh, clean, organic and simple 100-calorie cocktail herbal product mixture, again 100-calorie mixture from different animal foods, as well as more protein, fiber, folate, vitamin C, beta carotene, iron, vitamin E, calcium and magnesium are found.
.
NUTRITIONAL VALUES ARE LOW
- Animal foods are foods with low nutritional values and volume and high calories. Animal cells contain abundant amounts of fat, whether visible or not. In other words, plant foods (vegetables-fruits, legumes, grains, oil seeds) contain a certain volume, stimulating the tension receptors in the stomach to create a feeling of satiety, while animal foods do not have a feeling of satiety and therefore are consumed more. The saturated fats and toxins they contain can also lead to diseases such as cardiovascular, cancer, or even urological problems over time.
. - Animal proteins are dense and complex. Animals synthesize these proteins by combining amino acids obtained from plants or other animals. In other words, these proteins are suitable for the structure of the animal and have a special shape. Consuming animal food is like wearing someone else’s jacket. Whether it will fit us is doubtful. Vegetable protein fits us like a human-specific sewing jacket.
