Go Vegetarian
Most people these day believe vegetarian diet is less nutritious and peppy than the non-vegetarian variety. They scare believe vegetarian food to be wholesome. The common misconception of veg being low protein is easily removed if cognizance is taken of the following facts: Between 100 gms of pulses and 100 gms of animal flesh; former has more amount of protein.
An egg (poultry product) has 12 to 14 gms protein whereas 100 gms of paneer (milk product) contains 24 gms of protein. Fat derived from animal flesh is wholly unsaturated and contains an excess of cholesterol.
A diet high in calories and animal proteins is significantly limited to cancerous conditions in rectum, large intestine, mammary glands, ovary, prostate gland, uterus and fallopian tubes. But with a vegetarian diet no such linkage to ailments is proved till date.
Fiber contents of vegetarian diet help protect from heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, gastric trouble, constipation etc. Non-Veg food is lacking in dietary fiber of which 20 to 30 grams are mandatory requirements for a human being.
In a balanced and varied combination, pulses, cereals, fruits and vegetables- coupled with milk and milk products- supply all essential nutrients to human body- and keep malnutrition at bay. Albeit, subsisting on flesh alone, it is hard to remain in good health.
