My mother told me that when I was young, someone put meat in my mouth and I immediately spit it out. At that time, she had a view that eating meat could help my development-many mothers thought so-so she tried to get me into the habit of eating meat; But in the past 50 years, I have always been a vegetarian, and I have never touched any animals, fish and so on. Being a vegetarian can prolong life, which is the first reason why I am a vegetarian. Because I hope to live a few more years and see the future with my own eyes; Although I am seventy years old now, I am willing to live one more day, so that I can serve patients for one more day. Some patients are the same age as me, and most of them retired early. The reason why these patients retire early is that they don't know how to keep fit. Once you feel energetic enough, you should retire early. Therefore, I told them that this regimen is to improve their health and there will be no early retirement. My explanation of the way of keeping in good health is based on scientific research and my decades of clinical experience, and I am convinced that it must be correct. If I used to be a carnivore, I wouldn't be able to continue seeing a doctor today; Because a doctor must be clear-headed, diligent and mentally sound in order to be competent and happy. Meat is easy to cause "fatigue" and "promoting aging". This aging state varies from person to person. Last week, I went to a hotel to check the physique of ten people. One of them is about forty, and the others are about fifty. They all work in welfare homes! There is no doubt that eating alcohol and tobacco is one of the reasons for aging before you get old, but eating meat has a great influence and cannot be ignored. The human body is composed of thousands of Qian Qian cells, and each cell has the function of absorbing nutrients and excreting wastes. If this function is damaged, cells will degenerate and weaken, and at the same time, various organs built by cells will also degenerate and weaken. 19 12 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Draxis Karel has long recognized that in order to check whether the organs of cells in the body are aging, it is necessary to check the functions of cells in supplying nutrition and excreting waste at a glance. So he soaked a piece of chicken liver in nutrient solution, which not only provided nutrition, but also eliminated waste. The purpose of Dr. Ka's experiment is to try to prolong the life of chicken liver by several days. Sure enough, he achieved great success. From 19 13 to 1947, it took 34 years, not bad at all. At that time, Dr. Ka was already dead, and then he was abandoned and rotted in the ditch. In fact, if it is not discarded, its life can be extended by more days. The length of life depends on the function of cells, which Dr. Ka has confirmed to us! Therefore, if we regularly discharge the waste of cells and replenish the nutrition of cells, our life span can reach a long age. On the other hand, how often the liquid of cells is filled with waste, the life span is of course shortened! Let's find some proof from history! Ten generations before the flood, the average life expectancy of the people was 9 12 years old; After the flood, people began to eat meat; After ten generations, the average life expectancy of people is only 3 17 years old. A few years ago, Dr. Irving Fisher, a professor at Yale University. Owen FISHER pointed out that the new vegetarian movement is against the selection of athletes in schools. Although the former is untrained, its endurance is more than twice that of the latter. Hanwes Murat La, known as "Tarzan of the Apes" in the film industry, is a world-famous swimming champion. He set a new world record 56 times, and then set another record in the next five years because of his age. Since then, he has been pursuing vegetarianism. Once, he attended the opening ceremony of a nursing home swimming pool. At this time, he performed in the new pool and won a new record of six great achievements. The reason why he did this amazing thing is because he gave up meat during practice, and all the food was nutritious vegetables he chose, so he was much more energetic than before when he ate meat. In recent years, Maureen Ross, the Olympic world swimming champion, is also a vegetarian. Not only is his swimming skill famous in the world, but also his vegetarian habit is known to the world. Roche has never stopped being a vegetarian since he was two years old. According to people in the sports world, "Roche's swimming is not only amazing in speed and endurance, but also doubles at the last moment of each competition." Roche has this physical strength. If you are not a vegetarian, how can you do it! If we know the harm of eating meat, we can know more about the benefits of vegetarianism: when animals are alive, they naturally excrete waste from their bodies; But once slaughtered, excrement will accumulate in the body, so unconsciously, people eat their meat, which is equivalent to adding livestock excrement to their bodies. Uric acid is the most obvious meat waste. Each pound of steak contains 14 grams of uric acid. When cells are immersed in waste, the metabolic function will degenerate into weakness, making people feel tired and premature aging. In an experiment, Dr. newberg, a professor at Ania University, pointed out that mice eating 25% food will grow fatter and more active than mice eating ordinary food, but after a few months, their kidneys will be seriously damaged. Animals often get sick like humans, which is another terrible thing about meat! My female secretary told me the fact that her husband is a supervisor in a milk company. Last year, four cows were suspected of suffering from leukemia, and one of them died within 4 hours after being diagnosed by veterinary examination. At that time, the veterinarian proposed to send these three cows to the market for slaughter and sell their meat. As far as I know, the cows sold cheaply in the market are all cows that can't produce milk; If it can't be sold, it will only be discarded or left as fertilizer. Cows with eye cancer are still milked until they become blind. According to government regulations, these cows with cancer can be sold in the market when there are still signs of cancer in other parts of their bodies. From these facts, it is no wonder that Dr. Crowe once said at a vegetarian dinner: "When we are vegetarian, we don't have to worry about what to eat." How happy! " Animals will suffer from various diseases, so the meat sold in the market will also carry various germs! No one knows this better than the meat inspector: recently, a friend told me that his wife once went to a dinner party, and she only ordered a dish, with a strange man sitting next to her and a dish in front of her. The man asked her, "Is your wife a vegetarian?" The woman replied, "Exactly. Is Mr. Wang too? " The man replied, "No, I'm a meat inspector. I know that meat has germs, so I dare not eat meat. " As far as I know, the most common cancer disease of birds is cancerous tumor, and another is infectious cancer; All poultry infected with this cancer are invisible from the outside, will live to a normal life, and will transmit the cancer disease to their peers at any time. It is not easy to check this kind of poultry with cancer; For chickens, the only way is to carefully disinfect the eggs hatched by suspicious chickens, remove the embryos, grind them into powder, and then inject a little powder into the pectoral muscles of another chicken. If cancer is found at the injection site, you will know that the chickens that hatch eggs have this slaughter disease, so generally speaking, inspectors rarely pick out each one and prohibit sales! Luckily, everyone can buy healthy turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Speaking of fish eaters, an insider told me, "You can't eat fish with bugs." I tried some fish and it was really delicious! When frying flounder. Worms are crawling in groups, which is disgusting. Rabbits are very unclean animals, and they are most likely to get sick. When I was young, I often hunted with a good hunting friend. Every time he hunts rabbits, I wash them with him and sell them to customers. These rabbits are full of bugs. It's hard to find rabbits with fewer bugs. Once I sent a rabbit to my neighbor. He thanked me and said, "If you don't eat such delicious food, you will lose a lot of food!" " I answered him, "I only know that there won't be many bugs in my stomach!" " The problem of "not eating meat" is thought to be very difficult, but it is actually very easy to do. As long as you combine grains with shells, you can make delicious vegetables, which can satisfy people who like meat. Dr. Friedrich of Harvard University, the authority of modern nutrition, said in his letter: "Hard-shelled fruits, cereals, beans, vegetables and so on. Rich in nutrition, less than meat. Some vegetarians can't ask for anything else! " There is a food experiment in the Medical College of Evangelical University, which proves that vegetarian food mentioned above is nutritious and can be used as a substitute for meat. I always prepare several delicious vegetarian meals, so I never thought about eating meat. In fact, because I have studied various diseases of animals in the laboratory for many years, I have seen many diseases caused by eating meat in clinic, so my vegetarian heart is more determined! I am sure that I will never eat meat again in my life. Dr. McLean of Johns Harkin Medical University is the highest authority of contemporary nutrition. He once said, "Anyone who wants to waste meat will benefit a lot." I agree with Dr. McLean very much, so I try my best to provide vegetarian food and reduce people's suffering.
