Vegetarianism leads to memory impairment


British scientists have concluded that vegetarianism has a direct impact on memory impairment, and problems with brain vegetarians have up to 6 times higher than that of people with a balanced diet

The problem of senile memory impairment is one of the most pressing against the background of increasing human longevity, which is growing from year to year, but only the rare old leads an active lifestyle, which is due to degradation of the brain. Brain cells begin to die after 25 years, and after a 40 day brain loses 100 to 2 million neurons, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that with age, problems associated with deterioration of memory, attention, vision and hearing.

British scientists within five years studying the causes that affect cognitive function in the brain, according to brainmed.ru. And they came to the conclusion that vegetarianism has a direct impact on memory impairment, and problems with brain vegetarians have up to 6 times higher than that of people with a balanced diet.

It is not that sensational findings of scientists, they have only confirmed that the brain without amino acids and vitamins can not normally or develop or operate. Part of the essential amino acids, which are neurotransmitters, which were essential to the work of memory and intellectual activity, enter the body only from foods of animal origin (meat, eggs, milk, fish).

Also most of the vitamins necessary for a synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters, are practically absent from foods of plant origin. Lack of these essential substances, and leads to accelerated degradation of the brain in elderly people. A vegetarian diet is as dangerous and for posterity.

As follows from the report of American doctors, children vegetarian mothers are at risk of mental retardation due to lack of the same vitamins and amino acids that lead to degradation of the brain in the elderly. Child's brain during the first months of life developed very rapidly, and in mother's milk, vegetarian is not enough vitamins and amino acids for its full development.

Many vegetarians are trying to compensate for the lack of animal protein by increasing intake of legumes, especially soybeans. But, unfortunately, do it practically impossible: found in legumes, not all amino acids and vitamins necessary for the brain. Moreover, by-products may lead to opposite effects.

Thus, according to research experts from Oxford University found that tofu affects the memory of people, notably in old age. Under the influence of tofu at 20% worsening brain activity, and as a result, deteriorating memory.
