The choice to become vegetarian can be motivated by different reasons: some become vegetarians for ethical reasons, or because they refuse to eat the flesh of other living beings, others for religious reasons, see the followers of Eastern religions, still others for the benefits that follow a vegetarian diet can make to health. For all these reasons, it adds evidence that a diet that excludes meat would allow better use of food resources worldwide.
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.

The Dietary Supplement Creatine
Saturday, January 30th, 2010
The dietary supplement creatine is the most widespread in the sport worldwide.
It is a substance naturally produced by the body, kidneys, liver and pancreas, and derived from the amino acids arginine, methionine and glycine. Creatine is stored in skeletal muscles in the form of phosphocreatine, which is the immediate energy source for muscle contraction but is rapidly exhausted. Phosphocreatine is indispensable for the exercise of short duration and high intensity, anaerobic in nature, such as weightlifting. When it runs out quick energy source performance deteriorates due to the inability to obtain new power loads with the required speed.
Creatine is the only nutrient that the athlete can not cover with food. As found in small amounts in meat and fish, to provide the body with the daily maintenance dose would be necessary to consume many kilos of meat per day.
But not everyone benefits. Also detected some adverse effects from eating this supplement, such as increased body weight from fluid retention and not increased muscle mass. This occurs because creatine is osmotically active, ie, attracting the flow of water into the cells.
