Research shows that plant protein is better for health than animal protein

US media reported on August 18 that meat is not a healthy source of protein. It's much better to get essential proteins from plants. In general, a diet that focuses on plants tends to be healthier.       

A recent study found that compared with people who mainly eat animal food, people who eat more fruits and vegetables have a 31% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 20%. The study did not specifically target protein, but the risk of disease was almost the same for the group of participants who ate another important animal food, dairy, so the final conclusion was to replace meat with other protein sources. In addition, there are some more convincing reasons that plant protein sources such as beans are healthier alternatives to bacon. That doesn't mean that people can't and shouldn't indulge in cheese or grilled cheeseburgers. But it shows that people should enjoy them in moderation. According to the report, this study shows that in terms of long-term health, animal meat, especially red meat, is better to eat less than more. Of course, people don't have to fall in love with tofu (tofu is not the best vegetable protein), but just eat more vegetable protein and less animal protein.

Andrea jankolli, a registered nutritionist in California, said that plant protein is much healthier than meat protein in terms of getting the same amount of vitamins. This is because getting protein from plants allows people to eat fewer calories at the same time. They also contain what animal protein lacks: fiber. Fiber can help digestion, promote the health of intestinal flora, and is closely related to the lower risk of cardiovascular disease. People who eat vegetable protein tend to have healthier living habits. Even after considering other factors such as socioeconomic class, weight and exercise habits, people who eat more plants tend to live longer and healthier. They are less likely to have cardiovascular disease and fewer cases of cancer. People who eat plant protein may see a doctor more often for better preventive care. They often live in quieter and less polluted places.

In addition, although animal meat has a lot of nutrients, the problem is that if people replace all animal protein with the same diversified plant protein such as nuts, seeds and beans, the situation will not be worse. These foods are also rich in similar nutrients. Moreover, meat is rich in saturated fat. Another reason why steaks are not healthy is the fat that comes with them.
