Besides factors such as genetics and lifestyle, the diet is also an aspect that affects our longevity.So far, "Does eating meat help us to live longer?"Or "The person who likes to eat meat and the person who doesn't eat meat is more alive?"Still questions that are always interested in.Many studies have been conducted to find solutions to these issues.The results may surprise many people.Often healthier and less sick than those who eat.
This study was carried out over 178,000 people who had been vegetarian and at least 5 years of vegetarianism.The authors assess the physical health of participants based on blood and urine tests.The results showed that the total and bad cholesterol in vegetarians was 21% lower than that of the meat.The risk of cardiovascular disease, inflammation and liver cell damage of vegetarians is also lower.However, vegetarians have low levels of vitamin D, calcium and cholesterol. A study monitoring nearly 100,000 Americans in 5 years also gives similar results.Accordingly, during the study, experts found that people who did not eat meat would be less likely to die - not to mention what the cause of death was - compared to those who eat meat.This effect is especially noticeable in men.
Another study conducted by scientists of the Massachusetts General Hospital (USA) performed more than 130,000 people in 30 years also found that every 3% of calories taken from plants will reduce the risk of death.10%, and reduce the risk of death by up to 12% for heart disease.On the contrary, if the proportion of animal proteins in a diet is increased by 10%, it can lead to a higher risk of death than 2% due to any cause, and this number increases to 8% for the disease.heart.

However, not all studies have produced a result.Some studies have also shown that there is no significant difference shown on the life of people who eat and vegetarians completely.Instead, experts realize that the meat or vegetarian diet shows the advantages and disadvantages for health.
Specifically, the protein and fat in meat can help the body taller, stronger bones, full chest muscles, less anemia, and help the body full of energy to work and study effectivelythan.Some studies also show that people who like to eat meat will have strong immunity, not easy to get sick, fear of fear of cold, male is masculine, female with beautiful and elastic skin.However, they are at higher risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and blood fat than others.
For vegetarians, vegetarian food is easier to digest than meat, reducing the burden on the intestine and stomach.Raw fiber in vegetarian food can also provide energy for the intestine, help soften and easily go out, reduce pain when defecating.In addition, this food has almost no toxins, low fat content, so no matter how much you eat, it will not worry about fat, less blood.However, some experts also said that vegetarian foods do not have important proteins such as collagen, amino acids, elastin, myosin, so it will cause muscle weakness, muscles are no longer toned, anemia, dizziness, pale, worse skin.In particular, the elderly need to provide enough protein to maintain bones and the immune system, so if only vegetarian will be easily sick and fractured.

Since then, experts say that no diet is perfect.Therefore, we should carefully consider our eating and choose the appropriate diet for the body to be able to have a better health and live a life.
