As we all know, ancient Rome was a rich and decadent society. Even slaves can eat meat porridge or something. But in this society, the gladiators who need courage, strength and agility most are vegetarians. In Rome, gladiators have another name, "Barley Chewer". These gladiators usually eat rye bread or soaked barley. The film Gladiator truly reflects their food. The yellow sticky stuff is probably porridge mixed with peas and oats. You know, they don't have to chew barley because they are abused. Gladiators are generally the treasures of manor owners, rich people and even princes. Although they are slaves, they are slaves who make their faces glittering and their pockets bulging, just like the owners of English castles now have noble thoroughbred horses. Although it is a beast, it can eat better than its owner when necessary. Those Roman slaves chewed raw barley because they wanted to fight and get a chance in a duel to the death. They have learned the lesson of blood, and of course they know what to eat is more conducive to their physical strength and brave perseverance. Indeed, it is hard for us to imagine that a well-fed man can defeat these skinny slaves. In addition, raw vegetables and some grains have been proved by many nutritionists and doctors at home and abroad to be more beneficial than cooked food because they are better than natural nutrients. This is why they eat barley raw.

Vegetarianism makes people smart.

Are vegetarians smarter or carnivores smarter? There has been a lot of debate about this. In fact, history is obvious. The Han nationality has been a vegetarian or semi-vegetarian nation since ancient times, and it goes without saying who is smarter than the surrounding carnivorous clan tribes. Zhanghua's classic, Wu Mei and Feng Min both tell us that a nation's creative brain is active between heaven and earth. Even in modern times, defeated by western powers, it is a matter of opinion whether a westerner is smart or a China person is smart.

India is a vegetarian country (except Muslims, of course) because it believes in Hinduism. Whether Indians are smart is also a matter of public opinion. In the world, mathematics and philosophy, the kings of wisdom, are dominated by Indians. As we all know, Indians are best at mathematics. Many mathematicians in the world are Indians, and even after studying, India has become the first country in software. Indian classical philosophy surpassed ancient Greece and Egypt, and its depth and system of studying things even surpassed Germanic (German) philosophy represented by Hegel and Nietzsche, which was beyond the reach of other countries.

Most of the most influential religions in the East come from India, so the wisdom and profoundness of Buddhism are self-evident. Most people who study Buddhism and believe in Buddhism suddenly realize after getting started, feeling: it's too profound and too intelligent! Indeed, a western scientist (whose name has been forgotten) said that the more he studied, the more he felt that modern science was only confirming the discovery of Buddhism as early as 3,000 years ago ... The system of ancient Hinduism was as huge and rational as Buddhism ... It was widely circulated in the West, and Jesus returned to China to preach after studying in India for more than ten years. ...

The ancient Greek philosophy that the world intellectuals admire most up to now was also created by vegetarians. The ancient Greek masters Socrates, Plato and Pythagoras were strict vegetarians. ...

There are also many vegetarians among the masters since the Renaissance. In the past, most of us knew a little about their works and political tendencies, but little about their life tendencies that affected their lives. This is actually their most important and essential aspect. Leonardo da Vinci, Tolstoy, Bernard Shaw, Gandhi and Einstein (who have been strict vegetarians for a long time), why are they vegetarians? Because they all have a kind of love and non-violence that they think is the most sacred. Unfortunately, there is another notorious person who is also a vegetarian. He is Hitler, and the influence of vegetarianism on his intelligence is beyond doubt.

These intellectual kingdoms that need the most brains are all made by vegetarians, so there is really nothing to say.

One of the characteristics of vegetarianism is its flexible mind. The mark of a meat eater is a dull mind. China people are repeatedly wary of westerners because they are too flexible.

After changing to a vegetarian diet, many people find that their brains are flexible, their imagination is rich, their understanding is improved, their thinking is agile, and some memories are also increased ... In short, the function of their brains is obviously getting better and better, which is more exciting than when they were young. In fact, vegetarian children all over the world are often extremely smart. Therefore, it is true that vegetarianism improves their brain power.

As early as more than two thousand years ago, our ancestors had the same observation and judgment! "Carnivorous, brave and fierce; It is smart to eat grains. " This is a quote from "Big Wear Li Ji", which has been handed down in black and white for so many generations.

Why vegetarianism is so flexible.

Western scientists have found that cells in the human brain have "positive" and "negative" forces, and when they interact, they have activities. Every time people want to do something, there is a message of "positive effect", and at the same time our brain cells produce a message of "don't do it", which is the so-called "negative effect". So one is going on, the other is going to stop, and the positive and negative effects collide layer by layer in the brain. But if you want to have a good mind, strong thinking ability and accurate judgment, you must coordinate the positive and negative roles. In order to achieve this, cells in the brain must get the nutrition they need. It turns out that the "positive" and "negative" activities of brain cells are mainly powered by glutamic acid (also known as glutamic acid, an amino acid that constitutes protein), but vitamins B 1 and B 12 are needed to make brain cells play a "positive" role, and vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid (also known as pantothenic acid) are also needed. And where do high-quality glutamic acid and vitamin B mainly come from? Plants and grains.

The main component of the human brain is protein. Therefore, many people have a misconception that eating more foods containing protein can "nourish the brain". In the past decades, even nutritionists mistakenly thought that protein of meat was "superior". The opposite is true: meat does contain a lot of protein, but these protein are acidic. If people eat too much, their blood will become acidic. In order to balance this unfavorable situation, the body absorbs calcium from various parts to neutralize it, and consumes a lot of vitamin B 1. Lead to systemic calcium deficiency, vitamin B 1, bone problems such as osteoporosis, mental instability, mental retardation and poor blood circulation.

So, which protein is the most beneficial to the human body? Plant protein, because it contains almost no acid. Vegetables and fruits generally make people alkaline (although some fruits are sour on the surface). Eating more will make our blood weakly alkaline and keep our heads clear.

Smooth defecation is also the key to mental energy. The reason is simple: if food is left in the intestine for a long time, it will ferment, stink and be poisoned, causing complex biochemical chain effects, leading to systemic injuries, including dizziness. All foods rich in fiber contribute to smooth defecation, and all fish foods tend to make defecation stay. Therefore, from this perspective, fruits and vegetables also have an indirect role in making people think sharply.

It is also very important that animal fat has a very strong adhesion. You can get it by washing the stew pot and comparing it with the vegetable pot. The blood vessels of meat eaters, especially capillaries, are attached to animal fat, which leads to poor blood circulation and poor brain operation. This can also be seen from the fact that chubby children are generally slow to respond.

A doctor told me that vitamins B 1 and C are very important for brain operation. Vegetarianism is particularly easy to absorb both, generating vitality and keeping a clear head. "Children who don't eat much meat are especially smart"-he said that this is the conclusion that he has been watching coldly for many years.

Vegetarianism makes people beautiful.

I'm afraid this topic is the most appropriate, because vegetarianism is the closest to beauty, or vegetarianism is the most predestined relationship with comeliness.

China women have always been famous for their elegance, which is the mind and appearance developed by China women in their vegetarian life for thousands of years. Now our good tradition is being changed.

Does a Beijing girl with a high heart look good? Beijing, after all, is a gathering place of human essence, and some of them are really well-outlined. As the saying goes, beauty lies in the blank. But not long after, after a few years, some of them changed, the skin was rough and the luster was not so delicate. I really sympathize with them. Beauty won't disappear so soon. Of course, unlike many Russian girls who like meat soup and butter, before they were seventeen or eighteen, they looked like fairies. A few years later, they were a little close to the "aunt" with fat hips and thick legs, but too much meat obviously made them inferior. Therefore, some people say that meat is vulgar food and a vulgar hobby of Hanluf, so beauty should be careful. This sentence hit a large area, but at least it shows that people who munch on chicken legs and fat buttocks are out of touch with the most elegant temperament.

A vegetarian boldly declared that "China people have become ugly!" . She observed very carefully: "People nowadays are not good-looking. I don't mean teenage girls and boys. After modern makeup, they can shine when they are young. It refers to older middle-aged women and men, who tend to be Russians. Look at the men and women who are covered in meat in the movie. They are still actors selected by thousands. Look at the men and women in the past movies, except for the mistakes in makeup and improper clothes, the delicate faces can't be concealed. What is the reason? People eat too much meat now.

"What kind of food has meat, what kind of food gives you some incense, no light, no shredded pork, and vegetarian dishes often become the embellishment of the seat. People in China generally have a tendency to get pregnant. Of course, this mainly refers to city people.

"Not only that, people who eat too much meat will be thin and thin, which is contrary to the idea that most people think they are strong. In addition, the body often becomes distorted, with large pores, hairy body surface, aggravated body odor and bad breath, and people become lazy and occluded. There is constipation, and the skin is prone to sores and thickening. These are the conclusions I actually observed.

Why meat makes people ugly.

The meat fish that meat eaters usually eat contains a lot of animal fat, which is attached to the skin cells of meat eaters together with animal protein, so that the cells are constantly enlarged and piled up into pendants. The more meat you eat, the more obvious your face will be.

In addition, animal foods such as meat, fish and eggs will increase the content of uric acid and lactic acid in the blood. This lactic acid is excreted with sweat and stays on the skin surface, which will constantly erode the cells on the skin surface, making the skin tense, inelastic and rough, and prone to wrinkles and spots. What's more, there are more and more toxins in modern meat, which not only attack human beings with three major diseases-cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes, but also make the skin more and more rough due to the erosion of toxins in meat.

Vegetarians are very proud of their delicate nature. Vegetarians who eat alkaline vegetables and fruits for a long time will greatly reduce the lactic acid in their blood. Naturally, it will not produce harmful substances, but will be discharged to the skin surface with sweat, which will damage healthy skin. Vegetarian food contains a lot of vitamin E, which can make women's skin more delicate and play an excellent cosmetic effect. At the same time, minerals and fibers in plant foods can remove harmful substances from the blood. This purified blood can give full play to its function, and deliver enough nutrition and oxygen in the process of metabolism, so that all organs of the body can be full of vitality, and the skin is naturally healthy, shiny, meticulous and elastic.

At the same time, the beauty industry knows that white and tender skin is eaten. Black and white skin is related to the amount of melanin in the skin. The adjustment of diet can reduce the synthesis of melanin and help dull skin to whiten. Of course, this food adjustment is vegetarianism, which means that vegetarianism can whiten the skin.

American nutritionists suggest that if you want to whiten your skin, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin C. Chemical experiments have proved that a series of reactions formed by melanin are mostly oxidation reactions, but after adding vitamin C, the formation of melanin can be blocked. Therefore, eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as jujube, fresh jujube, tomato, Rosa roxburghii, orange and fresh green leafy vegetables. At the same time, we should pay attention to the intake of foods rich in vitamin E, such as Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed oil and so on. Of course, none of them are from meat fish.

Occasionally, I read in entertainment magazines that Hollywood is not a teenage star, and their maintenance always has a secret: one day a week, all meat is fasted. In order to purify their blood, they try to eat as little meat as possible in their daily food ... At the end of the article, they said, "Seeing their oily skin, Fu girl friends, should we also try vegetarian beauty therapy?" .

In my many years of pen and ink career, I have never heard that eating meat is beautiful. A few decades ago, a man in the United States promoted a slimming method that only ate meat and vegetables and did not eat starchy food. At that time, China responded, but Americans pushed people into an extremely dangerous way of life. Modern scientific nutrition research has long confirmed that starch such as rice, flour and grain is a very important source of life energy for human body, and if it is lacking, it will do great harm to human body. Sure enough, the American died suddenly last year, which is said to be caused by cardiovascular disease.

There are many beautiful men in Hong Kong and Taiwan who are vegetarian for a long time or occasionally (many days a month). I know Jet Li, Jacky Cheung, Mai, Xiao Qiang, Wang, and ... This list should actually include more people, because my ignorance is not that long.

There are also many beautiful men who are strictly vegetarian abroad. It may be surprising to say their names. They are pop stars Madonna, Michael Jackson, Princess Diana and The Beatles member george harrison. At this moment, I understood why Madonna claimed that the art world was not old.

An entertainment magazine in China published an article entitled "Hollywood Stars Love Vegetarianism", saying: "A magazine in the United States announced the sexiest Hollywood vegetarian stars this year. Yes, they only eat vegetables, not meat, and they are extremely sexy and not thin at all.

"These stars have no ranking order. These actresses are Pamela Anderson Lee, ashley judd, Natalie Portman, Drew Barrymore, alicia silverstone, Penélope Cruz Sánchez? and country singer Yue Hua Su Dunn. The male stars are Richard Gill, Woody Helson, Toby mcguire, singer Michael Bolten and paul mccartney of the Beatles.

Hong Kong and Taiwan stars also have a lot of experience in vegetarianism. Xiao Qiang, a beautiful model and movie star, revealed that "vegetarianism can make people feel calm". Six years ago, she suddenly felt the smell of meat, so she ate vegetarian dishes for a year, and also ate pot-side dishes when filming in the mainland, and found that food can really affect her mood. She revealed her beauty secret: "I ate vegetarian food for a whole year, which not only improved my skin, but also made me feel calm." I still eat five kinds of fruits and vegetables every day to maintain it.

Mai, who has lived for nine years, said, "The simpler the life, the happier it is." Nine years ago, he vowed to be a vegetarian because of canine distemper. Now she feels very happy all day, her fear has disappeared, and she is younger and more energetic than when she was eating meat.

It seems that how to become a lotus leaf beauty, Cao Lanjixiang, can only be understood in this way: to form an alliance with vegetarians.
