It became known whether vegetarianism is good for the body.
American physicians summarized the data of earlier studies and concluded that vegetarianism extends life
A study by American scientists have shown that vegetarians live 3.6 years longer in comparison with people who regularly consume meat. As it turned out, most of the health harms of red meat and meat in processed form.
American doctors from the Mayo clinic in Arizona found that mortality from various causes is increased among those who regularly eat meat. Experts analyzed six studies that assessed the effect of different food types (diets with meat consumption and a vegetarian diet) for a lifetime. In total, they were attended by 1.5 million people. The doctors tried to decide whether to warn the patients from eating meat.
The obtained data confirmed that the style of food has a significant importance on the health and life expectancy. Scientists have discovered that the life expectancy of people during the 17 years of adhering to a vegetarian diet, on average, 3.6 years compared with those who consume meat.
In particular, the study of 2014 showed high mortality from cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease associated with the consumption of processed meat (bacon, sausage, salami, ham, etc.). In another study, it was discovered that the risk of death from various causes is reduced to 50% with a very low meat consumption compared with the high consumption.
The results of these studies, according to doctors, are statistically significant. Scientists believe that doctors should encourage patients to limit the animal products and eat more plant foods
