(tofu, temphe, miso, natto, latte e yogurt), dai cereali (seitan) e dai legumi . A volte si usano proteine animali che con comportano alcuna uccisione dell'animale (uova non gallate, latticini freschi). During the second CAMPUS SEASONAL are offered tasty dishes made ​​using only VEGETABLE PROTEIN derived from soy (tofu, temphe, miso, natto, milk and yoghurt), cereals (seitan) and legumes. Sometimes used animal protein with no fee killing of the animal (eggs gallate, fresh dairy products).

2. The meat
"It is regrettable that the world faces so hard to accept the truth." (Le Grand Richards)
We know that diet plays a major role in determining our level of health, but with all the contradictory information that we hear in the media, it is easy rimanerne confused about what should and should not eat. However, the overwhelming evidence we clarify ideas: designing studies have shown that eating more plant-derived foods and less animal-derived, our health improves. We can easily protect us from disease! We simply must stop "dig the grave with our own teeth!"
"Choose foods based on cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables is the best way to stay healthy." (American Dietetic Association)
Studies and researches have shown that a vegetarian diet significantly reduces the risks of: obesity, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, hypertension and cancer.
After more than 40 years of research on the impact nutrition has on health, Dr. T. Colin Campbell concluded: "The people who ate foods of animal origin have contracted several chronic diseases, while those who have based their diet of plant-derived foods enjoyed excellent health and had developed a predisposition for the prevention of chronic diseases."
"Even taking small quantities of food of animal origin, such as meat, eggs and milk, is associated with increased chronic degenerative diseases." (T. Colin Campbell, PhD)
Walter Willett, head of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, believes that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has a fundamental importance in reducing all the
main causes of diseases. Think about this. In the United States every 35 seconds, 24 hours on 24, someone dies from cardiovascular disease and its treatment represent a turnover exorbitant. The surgeries cost thousands of dollars, while more and more people take medicines every day, to the delight of the pharmaceutical companies that continue to grow. Meanwhile, numerous studies and researches have amply demonstrated that a diet of plant foods, rich in cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables, can totally defeat the diseases of the heart!
For example, Dr. Dean Ornish has demonstrated conclusively that heart disease can be easily defeated by simply changing the style of life without drugs or surgery. He is the first clinician to offer documented proof that heart disease can be regressed by simply changing the lifestyle. Giving patients a simple vegetarian diet, consisting of unrefined foods, with a reduced intake of fats, combined with exercise, stress management techniques and participation in support groups, was able to show that "the majority of realistically could regress atherosclerotic lesions, regardless of patient age. "
Based on its internationally recognized scientific study, Dr. Ornish's program has given wonderful results. Participants reduced or discontinued medications; their chest pain is diminished or disappeared, and they feel more energetic, happy, and calm; have lost weight while eating more, and blockages in coronary arteries have actually retrogressed.
Similarly, Caldwell Esselsyn the Cleveland Clinic showed that a vegetarian diet simple and natural, very low in fat, sugar and salt but high in fiber, is able by itself to reverse coronary artery disease. 18 patients with coronary heart disease, treated with conservative therapy for 8 years at the department of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, with average cholesterol levels of 237 mg%, over the past 8 years of observation were 49 cardiovascular events presented. When these same patients were enrolled in a clinical trial (Trial Esselstyn's Diet), and started a diet program based on simple vegetarian food, the average cholesterol levels went down to below 150 mg% and for 12 years following the beginning of 0 trials were reported cardiovascular events, no deaths were recorded, no surgical interventions were necessary, nor were cases of stroke, and in 100% of the cases there was the arrest and regression of coronary artery disease.
The consumption of meat is not only related to diseases of the heart, but also and especially the risk of cancer. It is sad that people have not the slightest idea of how much power they have their own choices when it comes to power. To put it simply, countries with the highest consumption of meat have the highest percentage of cases of prostate cancer, while where the meat is consumed in small amounts, the percentages are much lower. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical in 2005 showed that those who ate plenty of meat were doubly at risk for colon cancer than those who consumed in small quantities.
The American Cancer Society makes two key recommendations for preventing cancer through diet:
• N. 1: Eat more foods from plants.
• N. 2: Eat less animal-derived foods.
Most cancers can be prevented simply by adopting a diet of plant foods, avoiding processed foods as possible and leading an active lifestyle without smoking. You will never live by the principles of true health as long as your diet will continue to rely on food of animal origin. The problem is that meat proteins are very difficult to digest and require the use of many digestive enzymes. The meat is not digested in the gut and is decaying, that produces poisonous and toxic substances, and that in turn create a further accumulation of toxins. It will strengthen the cancer cells in a toxic environment. In other words, when you eat the flesh of deleterious damage to your body.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a renowned researcher involved in the China Study, said: "One of the things you definitely hear about it in the next 10-15 years, is that animal protein is one of the most toxic substances ever." The meat we eat contains too antibiotics that are given to cattle, growth hormones, pesticides and many other medicines. Unfortunately, these drugs pass directly to consumers, contributing to the spread of diseases linked to meat consumption, such as coronary heart and high blood pressure.

Where can I get all the protein I need?

The history of the proteins was deliberately manipulated by traders, to the point that this is always the first question which is asked about the diets that include no animal products. Most people are surprised to discover that our protein needs are actually very low.
Taking too much protein is in fact worse for our health that take over in small quantities. In fact, one of the main factors responsible for many degenerative diseases is the excessive protein consumption. So rather than worrying about how to recruit more protein, you should rather worry about taking too many partridges! We live in a society that is poisoning with protein! It is virtually impossible not to take on enough, so much so that cases of protein deficiency are almost non-existent in our society. Our real protein needs can easily be finally determined by examining the protein content of milk.
Use common sense! At what stage of life the need for protein is greater? The phase in which we grow more and more that we need protein are the first six months of life, because when we are small grow faster than any other time in our lives, so our protein needs are high. However, breast milk contains less than 2% protein! Among other things, the fruit contains more or less the same percentage. The truth about protein is that you must not worry about not getting enough partridges, and note that 70% of your protein is created within your body. In other words, your body recycles your protein using them again, and the more your body is fine, less protein needed! All amino acids that are needed for protein content in plants, so if you eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, seeds and legumes, you'll have plenty of protein. For example, lettuce is composed of 34% from protein, 48% for broccoli!
The strongest animals in the world, such as horses, gorillas and elephants, eat only plants, and certainly do not eat steak and eat breakfast with a protein shake!
But the meat I must eat to have energy, right?
No. The protein is the last thing your body needs for energy. The first thing your body uses is sugar, the second are carbohydrates, then fats and finally, the last place we are proteins. Also, excessive protein in the body produces nitrogen, which causes fatigue, makes you feel tired.
But if you do not eat meat and my bones are weakened?
On the contrary, the meat contains a lot of uric acid and this eliminates the calcium from the system. In fact, people who eat meat have bones weaker. Osteoporosis is caused by an overabundance
protein, not by a calcium deficiency. Now let me tell you one thing: the meat gets its flavor that uric acid or the acid derived from the urine of the animal, which spreads throughout the body at death. (By the way, Kosher meat is not urine, no flavor). But that's not all: When an animal dies its natural osmotic pressure disappears and the putrefactive bacteria in the colon contents flood her body. Specifically, the putrefactive germs are germs of the colon that saturate all the cells of the flesh. These are seeds that soften the meat. I tell you to let you know what you eat!
The body can only withstand about 8 grains of uric acid within 24 hours, shame that a medium sized piece of meat it contains at least 16. The excess uric acid in the blood often causes gout, a disease that brings attacks of acute arthritis as well as kidney and heart damage.
However, athletes should not eat much meat?
The world record holder in the 24 hours of triathlon is Sixto Lenares, which runs 297 km by bike, swam 7.7 kilometers and ran 84 kilometers in one day without eating cheese, meat or eggs. The Canadian tennis player Peter Burwash decided to try to adopt a vegetarian diet. A year after his physical performance was judged the best among all athletes in Canada. Dave Scott, another vegetarian athlete, won the Ironman triathlon (3.8 km swim, 180 km cycling, 42 km run) six times!
Some ecological considerations.
• The farms consume increasing amounts of water, energy and land.
• To produce only five pounds of beef uses as much water as the average household consumes in a year.
• If Americans reduced meat consumption by only 10% also, some 12 million tons of grain per year, which amount could feed the 60 million people who die of hunger every year.
• Every 3 seconds a child dies of hunger.
"I became a vegetarian for ethical reasons, as well as healthy. I believe that vegetarianism may favorably affect the fate of humanity. "
