Vegetarian Diet to Your Rescue - Best fuel for our Immune System
Our immune system provides such an amazing defense mechanism against invaders that it still continues to baffle scientists! Regardless of the marvels of modern science, no alternative can be found for the immune system. Our body immune system is the best doctor in the universe - it is most powerful and superior than any medication. To keep this internal army in chief form, vegetables and fruits diet is the answer.
For example of two person exposed to similar recent A1N1 flu virus break out. One person falls seriously sick but the other individual does not fall sick. Although they face similar virus threat, only the individual with a weak immune system becomes sick with the flu.
Studies by World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that as developing countries become increasingly urbanized, even traditionally vegetarian societies for example the Indians and Chinese are going for high-fat, meat-rich food over high-vegetable ones. The report also talked that the high occurrence of heart disease in China and India is worst than all developed countries put together. India is known to have the world's major diabetic population.
On the contrary, South Korea, which still follows a high-vegetable diet, shows lower fat intake and lower rates of chronic diseases than countries of similar economic status.
The statistic above is due to the fact that our immune system grows healthier on a healthy diet and good rest, poor nutrition and pressure can cause us fall sick quicker.
Wholesome plant foods are rich in vitamins and minerals. Certain plant foods, like soy are also rich in protein. Scientist have found out that vegetables and fruits provide approximated 40 nutrients or more. For example, an orange contains a healthy amount of vitamin C, in addition to beta-carotene, d-Limonene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and a lot more of other nutrients.
All of us would like to live long, healthy lives, free of chronic illnesses like osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension. But majority of us still take unhealthy foods whenever we want and as much as we want, without paying attention to the consequences.
If we choose the best fuel for our vehicles, why don't we take healthy vegetarian diets for our bodies?
