🌿 Women Are "Carnivores"
Many women who follow a strict vegetarian diet still tend to develop obesity, hypertension, and premature aging. A recent study from Taiwan suggests this is due to them suffering from "metabolic syndrome"—a cluster of disorders triggered by abnormal metabolism. Typically, if three out of five indicators—waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose—are above normal standards, metabolic syndrome is suspected. It is a precursor to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Research indicates that long-term strict vegetarianism disrupts the balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the body, causing indigestion, memory decline, weakened immunity, hormonal and metabolic dysfunction, and increasing risks of anemia and cancer. Moreover, long-term vegetarianism reduces gastric acid and digestive enzymes, dulls taste sensation, and leads to poor appetite. The peroxides generated by unsaturated fatty acids in plant oils bind with body proteins to form lipofuscin, which accumulates in organs and accelerates female aging.
