Kathmandu. In recent times, people around the world have become very aware of their health and diet. Some are abandoning meat and vegetables to become vegetarians, while others are in the race to become vegans, who do not even eat dairy products. But does not eat meat completely reduce the risk of cancer? A reputable research has revealed some interesting and thought-provoking facts on this subject. <\/p>\n
According to a large study published in the British Journal of Cancer, vegetarian diets have a lower risk of certain types of cancer than those who eat meat. The findings, based on data from more than 1.8 million people across three continents, have brought the relationship between diet and health back into the spotlight. <\/p>\n
According to the study, people who follow a vegetarian lifestyle have a lower risk of five types of cancer. These include pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer). <\/p>\n
According to Tim Key, professor emeritus of Oxford Population Health, excessive consumption of fruits, vegetables and fibre-rich foods and zero consumption of processed meat may be the main reasons for the reduced risk of cancer in vegetarians. <\/p>\n
The researchers also believe that the body weight of vegetarians is also balanced, which can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. <\/p>\n
Similarly, those who ate fish and dairy products but did not eat meat also had a lower risk of colon, breast and kidney cancer. <\/p>\n
Surprise Reveal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This study has shown the biggest surprise in the case of vegan people who do not eat any animal products such as milk, yogurt, ghee. Red meat consumption is commonly linked to colon cancer. However, the surprising thing is that vegans who do not eat meat or dairy products have a higher risk of this cancer than those who eat meat. <\/p>\n Lead researcher Yashvi Dunram said that when vegans do not eat dairy products, the amount of calcium in their body is very low. Which may be due to this risk. <\/p>\n Another warning has been found for vegetarians. The risk of esophageal cancer, called squamous cell carcinoma, in vegetarians is almost double that of those who eat meat. According to researcher Aurora Perez Kornago, the deficiency of riboflavin vitamin B2 in the body may be the cause. Vitamin B2 is found mainly in foods such as eggs, milk, and liver. Which is reduced to a completely vegetarian diet. <\/p>\n Balanced diet is not the best option<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n }<\/p>\n This study has dispelled the myth that being completely vegetarian or vegan can get rid of all diseases. Lack of vitamins and minerals necessary for the body can lead to other health problems. <\/p>\n Jules Griffin, director of the Rowett Institute at the University of Aberdeen, who was not involved in the study, said that the best for health is the kind of balanced diet recommended by the UK’s National Health Service. Where meat and fish are eaten, but very balanced and in moderation. Such a balanced diet provides all the nutrients needed by the body and also helps to keep the risk of cancer at a minimum level. <\/p>\n Therefore, it seems that it is wise to eat by balancing the nutrients needed by the body rather than changing your diet only on the basis of fashion or imitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kathmandu.
