Vegetarian food greatly helps your immune system

    Scientists assert that vegetarians have stronger immune systems and on average live six to ten years longer than their meat-eating counterparts. Unfortunately, our air, water, soil and much of our food is full of chemicals that can induce serious health problems ranging from asthma to cancer. The good news, however, is that a natural chemical removal system is in-built into our basic biochemistry. This system is capable of eliminating thousands of different chemicals. It just needs to be turned on. This chemical rejection process is based on enzymes that can take the most dangerous chemicals and, in an instant, render them harmless.
    This activity depends on the right kinds of food in your diet. Some foods such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower contain powerful enzyme inducers. Some of these foods are. These vegetables also work well at detoxifying cancer-causing chemicals in beef. However, that none of the vegetables reduces the risk to zero, so avoiding beef is still the healthiest strategy.
    Soybean products, such as tofu, tempeh and soy milk, also contain natural compounds that stimulate your body to make more of these helpful enzymes.

    Your above mentioned post was very informative. However, eating meat has also its plus points.

    Screw the health benefits :p

    If you can raise, slaughter, butcher and prepare your own meat - then go for it - at least you'll know what "it" was fed, and what the storage conditions were after slaughter.

    If not, you're living in fantasy land about where your 'food' comes from.

    yups -- green vegetables, salads and dals do act as blood cleaners, antidioxidants and help u blid immunity --draining ur immune system, bringing in fresh blood ; healthy skin. apart from that plenty of fluids . avoid choclates and sweets. non veg is not bad until and unless u go for red meat , fish is a good source for reducing the toxics.

    thats the biggest load of crap i have seen. No adult under age 25 or child should be a vegetarian, as it is harmful to there health and Developement

    low testosterone levels = low sex drive.

    Men with a low testosterone level, have a few ways to improve their testosterone level, it turns out that diet too low in fat are actually harmful to healthy testosterone levels. Research has shown that limiting your fat intake to just 10% (ten percent) or less of your total calories can significantly lower your testosterone levels.

    In fact, the classic diet tells you to restrict your calorie intake, by advising you to eat plenty of roughage (fibre), and to avoid animal flesh (meat). They are a recipe for Disaster, by lowering your testosterone levels. It’s been observed that a direct relationship between calorific intake and testosterone levels exists.

    What fat types are best?

    Preferably calories that are from fats in the form of monounsaturates and omega3 oils should be kept up around 30% (thirty percent), the amount research shows to be optimal for testosterone levels. Also, aim to derive at least 35% (thirty five percent) of your calories from protein, with most of it coming from lean red meat

    If you workout, then you can't live without meat.
    Meat has alot of protein, I remember in the days I used to work out I used to each like 4-5 chickens a day.

    Limiting yourself to just one food group is unhealthy and may lead to all sorts of disease and conditions.
