Vegan diet saves lives. This book shows you how to become a vegan and why it will optimize your weight, looks and energy. Illustrations are for diet information and entertainment along the lines of a Monty Python parody. It's easy to prove the benefits of a vegan diet. Just look at the epidemiology. Rice eaters are skinny. The Tarahumara who eat corn, beans, rice, squash and salad are skinny marathoners. The Pima who eat the SAD diet have lots of obesity and diabetes. The Okinawans who get most of their calories from sweet potatos are paragons of health and famous for high functionality in their 90's and 100's. The 7 day adventist vegans are the healthiest people in California. This book explains how starch-complex carbohydrates satisfy hunger. Your intestine has to separate the fiber from the glucose and this occurs gradually, so that starch maintains your blood glucose in the normal zone for a prolonged amount of time. This makes you feel good. Simple sugars like sweets tend to cause rebound hypoglycemia. Oils are liquid fat. Oil is routinely added to junk food because it gets the sugar and salt to stick to the food. Meat and oils make you fat. Greens and beans are the healthiest foods. Greens like spinach, broccoli, kale, romain and arugula are the best foods to open your arteries wider because they increase nitric oxide which causes vasodilation. This is analogous to Viagra which increases nitric oxide in the Johnson. Questions like "Where you gonna get your protein?" are answered. Vegan diet is proven to prevent coronary artery disease and it reduces the risk of stroke and cancer.Problems with eating meat include saturated fat causing clumping of red blood cells which is called Rouleaux formation (stack of coins). Rouleaux makes your blood thicker (increases viscosity) which increases blood pressure. Rouleaux causes atherosclerosis which increases your risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.The saturated fat is also incorporated into the membranes of red blood cells which makes them less flexible (less deformable). This also increases blood viscosity. Stiff RBC's are less able to deliver oxygen to the tissues.Rouleaux related thick blood with stiff RBC's are also less able to deliver glucose to the skeletal muscles and other tissues. This is associated with insulin resistance and development of diabetes (type 2 diabetes).Meat contains large amounts of fat and causes weight gain. Obesity causes increased insulin resistance which leads to diabetes. Diabetes leads to a myriad of problems including blindness and lower extremity neuropathy.Meat is acidic because animal protein amino acids have an increased number of sulfur groups. That's why meat eater farts smell worse. The acidity leads to a need for buffering of pH which causes calcium loss from your spine (osteoporosis) and increased calcium excretion in your urine (calciuria). Calciuria increases your risk of kidney stones. Meat creates a favorable milieu for cancer progression due to the combination of acidity and hypoxia. Hypoxia from Rouleaux and depletion of nitric oxide vasodilator.
