According to a study by Dr Naomi Allen, an epidemiologist at Oxford University, in collaboration with other researchers in New Zealand and English and published in the British Journal of Cancer, people who eat mostly vegetarian fall ill with cancer in much smaller percentage of those who Instead, she eats meat regularly.
The study, very large, examined 61mila British in a period of 12 years. The data that have emerged are: vegetarians have 12% less chance of getting some cancers, and if you look at the blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, honeyed …) can still be reduced by 45%, previous studies had already shown that the consumption of red meat had a positive impact on the development of stomach cancer, stomach cancer in vegetarians is rare, but compared to tumors of the intestine, where instead we see a slight increase.

The data in this study carry them there as I found them: the sample consists of men and women, was well 61,566 British, of the total, 32,403 were eating mostly meat, but 8562 did not eat meat in their diet supplemented fish, finally, 20,601 followed a vegetarian diet (people who do not eat no meat or fish).During follow-up was diagnosed with cancer in 3350 patients, 2204 among meat eaters, fish eaters between 317 and 829 in vegetarians.
Now researchers are working to discover which elements contained in vegetables, fish and fruit are primed for the protection of cancer and also because a diet of meat and a plant-based impacts on our health. If you want some light vegetarian riveting can approach this philosophy of life, I recommend the pumpkin pie and zucchini or the potato gateau vegetarian.

These characteristics, together with the taste and appearance pleasing, making it suitable for any type of diet, not necessarily vegetarian, aimed at weight maintenance and reduction of risk factors for the onset of cardiovascular disease, but should be specified as it is not a complete food from the nutritional point of view, because it lacks some essential amino acids.
In addition, the seitan is obtained primarily from the manufacture of wheat gluten and its consumption is therefore not recommended for people with celiac disease, more specifically to prepare seitan separate the two key components of wheat flour: starch and gluten, the latter representing the protein part of wheat, is then boiled in water along with soy sauce, sea salt, seaweed and other flavorings.
As you can imagine, seitan is a food from the culinary traditions east and was shown in Japan under the name of Kofu. Actually, thanks to the spread of vegetarian and vegan eating habits, it is quite common even in Western countries, in Italy is more easily in stores specialized in organic food and ethnic food.
As for the calories and nutritional values of seitan, this food provides an average of 168 Kcal per 100 grams of product, as mentioned above is high in protein (but these do not have high biological value why you should eat seitan in combination with other foods that have this feature as the legumes) and low in carbohydrates and fats. Entirely lacking cholesterol, make moderate amounts of sodium and potassium.

Gets worse for vegans whose bones were 6% weaker. Always the same search would have revealed that a vegetarian diet slows brain activity, you weaken, in short, you’re sick. From good vegetarian allow me to disagree! But what is this? Fairness Doctrine food, even on people’s health must be politically correct? Well! The researcher who has come to the results so dramatic on ‘vegetarian food has however also said that

There was no difference found between the bone density of a meat eater to a vegetarian who does not eat meat and fish but permits the consumption of eggs, milk and dairy products!
Data on clinical grounds are too small to be considered objective and relevant!
There are no connections between low bone density and fracture risk

but then, you ask, because research has been published so small! The answer is simple: all the evidence points towards the interests of producers of meat and why, beyond what is healthy or not, the stakes are high, a farm makes a lot of money especially intensive, not taking into account the quality of life in which the animal is raised, the yield from the economic point of view is very high. Obviously I’m just personal ideas, conjectures, but perhaps it is true, today I woke up with the moon … crooked.

The most common deficiency in a vegetarian diet are those of iron, calcium and vitamins D and B12, but while iron deficiency affects all vegetarians, that calcium mainly concerns those who follow a vegan diet, which, as we have seen, provides exclusion from the diet including foods derived from animals such as milk and eggs.
However, as the fiber and other substances found in abundance in vegetables limit the intestinal absorption of calcium is also essential for those who follow a vegetarian diet far less sure that the daily intake of calcium is insufficient, while vegans will need to use supplements foods that contain this mineral. Always the exclusion of milk and dairy exhibits vegans at risk of vitamin D.

The same is true for vitamin B12, which is present only in foods of animal origin, lacto-ovo vegetarians, who consume milk and eggs freely, so they are protected from the risk of deficiencies, and vegans will also in this case necessarily resort to supplements.
We thus see how the risk of nutritional deficiencies in a vegetarian diet is more for vegans and lacto-vegetarians for lacto-ovo-vegetarians. More are at risk even though the fruitarian may incur even in protein deficiency.
As for raw foodists, the main problem for them is represented by the lower digestibility of raw food, which makes it harder for even the absorption of nutrients, as well as deficiencies of hygiene: cooking is not just to make foods more edible, but even the elimination of bacteria that may be harmful to health.
It is therefore clear as to become a vegetarian is not enough to eliminate from their diet of meat and fish, but rather rearrange their style food in order to ensure all the necessary nutrients to maintain good health

It is thought that, while a hectare of land planted with soybeans produces 1800 pounds of vegetable protein, the same area used for grazing permits instead of getting only 60 pounds of animal protein, it follows that if all the areas devoted to fodder for animals were used for farming, the availability of food resources would increase substantially.

It also seems established, both by numerous scientific studies, the epidemiological data from the vegetarian diet, although with some differences between the various types that we have already described, is not only healthier, but it also protected against some diseases such as obesity, some types of cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, noninsulin-dependent diabetes and gallstones, reducing the risk of occurrence.
On the other hand, the vegetarian diet is rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants, as the fiber, there are many studies which showed the action in reducing the risk of developing several types of cancer, while antioxidants, with Their line of defense against free radicals, are able to prevent degenerative diseases is different, that premature aging. This style food is also quite low in fat, the excess in the diet dangerously exposed to the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
In any case, it seems certain that a diet rich in grains, fruits and vegetables compared with a reduced consumption of meat, especially red, become valid for the maintenance of good health.

Today I want to tell you about a detoxification diet, for all of us that we have overindulged.

To detoxify the body there are at least two weeks in order to eliminate the sugars made in the past days.
But you have to make some sacrifices. Are you ready?
It is necessary to eliminate sweets and carbohydrates, drinking plenty of water, herbal teas and fruit concentrates. Avoid juices instead of fruit, coffee and fizzy drinks because they have a high percentage of sugars.
The best foods for your diet disintossicane are: fruits, vegetables and oily fish such as cod and the cod, preferable to red meat and fatty foods too. Lastly, use only extra virgin olive oil as a condiment.
Good detoxification diet :-)

We can compare our bodies to a car whose fuel is the chemical energy that provides us with the nutrients (proteins, lipids or fats, carbohydrates or glucides) that we find in food. The terms of the energy balance of our body are therefore two: the revenue and expenditure.
The former are represented by the energy we take in through food, while the second by the energy that “spend” to make all the biological work. The energy balance is the difference between the energy that “enter” and that “leaves” as it may be all the budgets in balance (= person of normal weight), previously (= individual underweight), and in active (= overweight individuals). As you might expect it should be very careful to keep in balance, both inward into, otherwise you run the risk of incurring in states of malnutrition or down.

It is therefore essential to eat properly, with the dual aim of:

- All provide the body what it needs (i.e. cover the energy needs and micronutrients)

- Prevent the occurrence of certain chronic diseases – degenerative: Do not forget that some chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, overweight and obesity, diverticulitis and constipation have become more common particularly at the adoption of new dietary patterns high in calories and low in fiber.

What do we need?

WATER: plays a regulatory role, it takes place in all chemical reactions vital to life.

PROTEIN plays mostly plastic function that is used for the synthesis of cell structures and the repair and construction of tissues.

Lipids: play energy function and transport of fat soluble vitamins, as well as mechanical protection of tissues and organs.

CARBOHYDRATES: represent the form of energy “ready” best used by the body.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS: play a bio-regulators, that is involved in many biological processes and are therefore essential for life.

Why do we eat? A question that seems obvious, yet it is not!

And then, how you eat, or rather, how should eat? We know really? Perhaps many things we think we know them, yet when we sit at the table beyond …

Recall that it is important to meet the needs of our body by learning to choose healthier foods and distribute them correctly throughout the day.

By varying and alternating appropriately food choice you can ensure a balanced diet, in order to adopt sufficiently regular and adequate amounts of all the nutrients necessary for our wellbeing.

All this nutrition information should be logically transformed into consumption of food, because “man does not introduce nutrients, but food.” To comply with the recommendations is not necessary to know the nutrient composition of all foods and follow a few but important rules.

You can follow many fitness exercises at home and also enlist the help of fitness equipment. This is known as ‘home fitness’.

And three are the most common fitness equipment in their homes:

*
Weights

For the legs or arms. Dumbbells and weights are increasingly present under the bed for many households. Do different exercises allow for a reasonable price and, of course, without having to go to the gym.

*
Exercise bike

Buying a stationary bike or elliptical is a great option for people who have little time for exercise but see the need to start practicing physical activity. No matter whether it rains or if it is night, you can get on your bike and start pedaling while you view your favorite TV program or listening to your favorite CD.

As you pedal not only work the muscles of the legs but also the buttocks and abdominals. Pedaling the stationary bike is an aerobic exercise that helps improve the speed and cardiorespiratory fitness, it is also ideal to combine with diet to lose weight.

*
Treadmill

Today buying treadmills have become essential equipment Home fitness and that is not by chance. With the treadmill, several advantages are our training, but the principal is to get the benefits of aerobic exercise that is run without having to move around or worry about the weather outside.

But remember, above all, a life that involves combining fitness training with a balanced diet and adequate rest. There are not two without three or 100% fitness without the interaction of these three aspects or points.
