Good Lifestyle

May beMonday without meat Meals should occur a few more days a week. According to the research that has been presented at theEuropean Congress on Obesity (ECO), vegetarians are likely to have healthier biomarkers - measures offering clinical evaluation - compared to meat lovers.

The Glasgow University Study Authors examined self-reported food habits of healthy adults (aged 37 to 73) in the United Kingdom. After dividing men and women into two groups-vegetarian (4,111 volunteers) and meat consumers (166,516 persons) - The investigators observed 19 blood and urine biomarkers associated with various chronic conditions and diseases.

And here are what these tests revealed: whatever the current risk factors (age, sex, education, ethnicity, obesity, smoker and alcohol consumption), vegetarians posted "significantly" levels of 13 Biomarkers, including total cholesterol, cholesterol (AfDB). Apolipoprotein A (linked to cardiovascular disease) and apolipoprotein B (related to cardiovascular disease), as well as markers connected to liver function, renal function and cancer cells.

The Senior Researcher of this observation study considers that these promising results are likely to follow a food model that focuses onfruits,vegetables, whole grains and walnuts leaving hamburgers and steaks from the coast of the plate. It is not surprising that several biomarkers are related to cardiac health, Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, CDN, CFT and Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, CDN, CFT-Nutritional twins-And authors of "Nutrition twin veggie cure"saidEat this, not that!in an interview.

"Previous searches show that particularly high meat in saturated grease can have a negative impact on these values ​​and is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, while research has also shown that a high-product system, from whole grains, nuts and seeds help prevent cardiovascular disease., "They declare.

"Similarly, previous research also show thattransformed meat [Salami, Sausage, Bacon, Hot Dogs] and red meat can contribute to inflammation in the corps and damaged cells that lead to cancer and disease while eating fresh products, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains have the opposite effect. "

However, the current study of the University of Glasgow also found that vegetarians also had some undesirable test results. This group has shown low in some key biomarkers, including HDL cholesterol (good), vitamin D and calcium, while having higher triglyceride levels and Cystatin-C (a mediocre renal function indicator) by Report to the crew of meat.

Nutrition twins say that a possible explanation of low vitamin D and calcium numbers should do with the absence of certain foods, such as milk and cheese (which contain calcium and may not constitute perhaps A clip in a vegetarian regime) and eggs, liver and fatty fish such as salmon, herring and sardines (vitamin-rich foods that do not probably do not part of a vegetarian meal plan). But the bad numbers of HDL and poor triglycerides are generally related to obesity, sedentary lifestyle, to smoking, to the consumption of too much alcohol, inflammation and type 2 diabetes, which is supposed to be Infrequent factors in vegetarians.

"However, some vegetarians eat unhealthy non-meal products for most of their meals, potato chips, pretzels, pastries, simple sugars, pasta, bakery products and refined grains," say twins.

By opting for low carbohydrate foods, low fiber foods may result in inflammation, as well as low HDLs and triglycerides. With regard to higher levels of Cystatin-C in vegetarians, nutritional twins believe that abundance of these processed foods can also be the cause of any possible renal problem.

Overall, the primary study author, Dr. Carlos Celis Morales of the United Kingdom notes the multitude of health benefits that seem to come from following a vegetarian diet.

"Our results offer a real food to thought," he said in a Press release .
