| Health benefits and risks of vegetarian diet and non vegetarian diet |
| 2010-09-10 00:40:00 |
Diet is a matter of personal choice, so it’s up to you to decide what kind of food you want to eat and what is good for your body. Some people prefer to go vegetarian while others cannot do without their quota of meat products. Yet others take the vegan route while the rest prefer to eat raw food. We need to understand that no matter what we decide to eat, we must assume responsibility for our health.The problem with non-vegetarian food is that it is high in cholesterol and fat, and as you grow older, it puts you at a high risk for heart disease, obesity and their related ills. Red meats like mutton and beef are more dangerous than lean meats like chicken and turkey, but even with the latter, the issue of artificially fattened poultry comes to the fore – when the weight of chickens and...

| Become a Vegetarian, Without Too Much Trouble |
| 2010-02-03 02:39:00 |
There are many reasons to become a vegetarian, besides the most obvious humanitarian one. It’s wrong to take a life just because we are more powerful, and when the killing is for hedonistic reasons, it’s even worse. When you become a vegetarian, your health improves and you feel fitter and more energetic than ever before without all that unhealthy fat that hinders digestion and adds to your weight. So if you’re contemplating turning over a new leaf and forgoing all meat products for good, here’s how you can do it the easy way:• Start out slowly: Some people find that quitting cold turkey works for them, but for most others who love eating meat, it’s the slow method that works permanently. Start out by giving up a few non-vegetarian items that are the unhealthiest and then sl...

| Jiah Khan for PETA |
| 2009-01-22 03:14:01 |
The campaign has Jiah Khan dressed as a wounded bird wrapped in kite string and next to the tagline ‘Cut the Glass-Coated Manja, Not Birds' Wings'.The festival of Makar Sankranti is for kite flying , celebrated every year on 14th Janyuary.While on one hand, the festival means lots of happiness to one and all, on the other, its really sad news for the birds because when manja (thread tied to kite) cuts through the wings of birds that become entangled in it.The glass coated manja might be effective at cutting an opponent’s kite line, it is also deadly for thousands of pigeons, crows, owls and other birds who become entangled in it.Speaking about the ad, Jiah said, “Glass-coated manja is a public health hazard and causes an excruciating death for birds that get entangled in it. We’re...

| Kids with high IQs grow up to be Vegetarians |
| 2008-04-25 04:29:20 |
As a child's IQ rises, his taste for meat in adulthood declines, a new study suggests.British researchers have found that children's IQ predicts their likelihood of becoming vegetarians as young adults -- lowering their risk for cardiovascular disease in the process. The finding could explain the link between smarts and better health, the investigators say.Recent studies suggest that vegetarianism may be associated with lower cholesterol, reduced risk of obesity and heart disease. This might explain why children with high IQs tend to have a lower risk of heart disease in later life."Children who scored higher on IQ tests at age 10 were more likely than those who got lower scores to report that they were vegetarian at the age of 30," Gale said.The researchers found that 4.5 percent of parti...

| Lower rate of Obesity and Diabetes in Vegetarians |
| 2008-04-16 00:28:49 |
Approximately 65% of the U.S. population is overweight and 31% is obese. Vegans have much lower rates of obesity, and on average weigh 10% less than non-vegetarians. In addition to looking slimmer, being lighter reduces the risk of a myriad of health problems including respiratory problems, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.In a study of over 25,000 Seventh Day Adventists, vegetarians were found to have significantly lower rates of diabetes. Among men in the study, risk for diabetes was a whopping 80% higher in men who ate meat, after adjusting for weight....

| Baby Elephants tortured mercilessly in Thailand |
| 2008-04-15 02:01:00 |
In Thailand, approximately 3,800 of the country's estimated 5,000 endangered Asian elephants are in private hands. Most are used as tourist attractions in elephant camps where they are forced to perform circus tricks and give rides. PETA U.S. has uncovered the horrific torture that is routine in Thailand's secret "training" camps. Still-nursing baby elephants are literally dragged from their mothers, kicking and screaming. They are immobilized, beaten mercilessly, and gouged with nails for days at a time. These ritualized "training" sessions leave the elephants badly injured, traumatized, or even dead.In a village, deep in the jungles of Thailand, a baby elephant is offered a piece of fruit. Born into captivity, she has lived in the village with elephant trainers, called mahouts, since she...

| 2008-04-11 05:43:00 |
Vegetarians have higher childhood IQ, .although a third seem to suffer from conceptual problems! A paper published in December 2006 by the British Medical Journal reported that children with higher IQs tend to go on to become vegetarian.Adults who classified themselves as vegetarian tended to be five points higher in IQ when they were tested at age 10.Interestingly, the results remained stable after education and social class were controlled for.However, a third of people who classified themselves as vegetarian ate chicken or fish, suggesting most people work with a reasonably flexible definition.This study is from a research group in Southhampton who are looking at the link between childhood factors and adult brain development....
