00:00:30
friends welcome to fat table you will be
00:00:32
surprised to know that in the 19th
00:00:34
century over 75 percent of the indians
00:00:36
were vegetarians and only 20 to 25
00:00:39
percent of the indians were
00:00:40
non-vegetarians however today the
00:00:42
numbers are completely different with 71
00:00:45
percent of the indians being
00:00:46
non-vegetarians and only about 28 of the
00:00:49
people being vegetarian and there are
00:00:51
less than one percent vegans in india
00:00:53
who completely abstain from animal based
00:00:55
products like eggs milk milk products
00:00:58
and even honey the rise of veganism is
00:01:00
probably due to the reports that have
00:01:02
come in for the torture of animals and
00:01:04
adulteration in milk even with such a
00:01:07
huge paradigm shift india is still the
00:01:09
country with the most vegetarians in the
00:01:11
world but what could be the reason of
00:01:13
such a sudden change is it western
00:01:15
influence or is it backed by science
00:01:17
what is best for our health non-veg veg
00:01:20
or vegan diet let us find out according
00:01:23
to modern science eggs chicken mutton
00:01:25
and other meat sources are extremely
00:01:27
important part of diet as they are rich
00:01:29
in protein of course a majority of
00:01:31
people who eat non-veg for health eat it
00:01:34
because it has protein in it that's due
00:01:36
to the fact that animal protein is
00:01:38
considered complete source of protein
00:01:40
which contains all the nine essential
00:01:42
amino acids according to dri an average
00:01:45
person who has a sedentary lifestyle
00:01:47
requires about 0.8 grams of protein per
00:01:50
kg body weight daily however if your
00:01:53
goal is to improve muscle mass and lose
00:01:55
fat modern science recommends more
00:01:57
protein in your diet apart from protein
00:01:59
animal flesh is found to be rich in
00:02:02
several vitamins and minerals like
00:02:03
vitamin b12 niacin and selenium but the
00:02:07
opinion of modern science is not
00:02:09
unanimous on this theory and that's the
00:02:11
problem every now and then reports come
00:02:13
up regarding the ill effects of meat
00:02:15
eating there are numerous studies that
00:02:17
point out that processed meat is harmful
00:02:20
to health then there are other reports
00:02:22
pointing out that red meat is
00:02:23
cancer-causing while the white meat is
00:02:25
healthy some studies are against this as
00:02:28
well some latest reports have even
00:02:30
suggested that meat in any form reduces
00:02:32
longevity and increases the risk of
00:02:35
cancer and heart diseases t colin
00:02:37
campbell an american biochemist who
00:02:39
published his famous china study book in
00:02:41
2005 examined the link between animal
00:02:44
products including milk and diseases for
00:02:47
20 years concluded that plant-based
00:02:49
wholesome diet is the best dr campbell
00:02:52
pressed that protein derived from animal
00:02:54
products including dairy is
00:02:56
cancer-causing many more researchers are
00:02:58
in tune with this theory also it's no
00:03:01
hidden fact now that the greenhouse gas
00:03:03
emissions by the slaughterhouse animals
00:03:05
leads to 25 percent of the climate
00:03:08
changes 80 percent of the world's
00:03:10
farmlands are used for animals which
00:03:12
produces only 18 percent of the world's
00:03:14
calories the living conditions of these
00:03:17
animals are disgusting it turns out that
00:03:19
what we put on our plate matters a lot
00:03:22
in conclusion modern science viewpoint
00:03:24
keeps on changing however the general
00:03:26
viewpoint is that lean white meat is
00:03:28
safe and rich in protein and other
00:03:30
vitamin nutrients like vitamin b12
00:03:33
talking about what ayurveda has to say
00:03:35
well our scriptures do not have a
00:03:37
forbidding tone whether you should eat
00:03:39
meat or not they have clearly mentioned
00:03:41
the consequences of eating meat and then
00:03:44
the choice rests on the individual our
00:03:46
scripture suggests that food should not
00:03:48
just be considered as a source of
00:03:50
nourishment for the body but also as a
00:03:52
vibration for the mind there are foods
00:03:55
in the mode of goodness there are foods
00:03:57
in the mode of passion and then there
00:03:58
are foods in the mode of ignorance when
00:04:01
an animal is about to get slaughtered
00:04:03
imagine the emotions that it must go
00:04:05
through that becomes the vibration of
00:04:07
the meat and when we eat it the same
00:04:09
vibration resides within our mind then
00:04:12
these vibrations show up in the form of
00:04:14
anger lethargy depression and ignorance
00:04:17
the same has been perpetuated in the
00:04:19
srimad bhagavad-gita chapter number 17
00:04:22
verse 10. chapter 6 of ashtang ridhim
00:04:24
does talk about meat eating however it
00:04:27
specifies the meat which has been
00:04:28
freshly hunted in the jungles and that
00:04:31
too for special sets of people who does
00:04:33
not have access to normal food mainly
00:04:35
adivasis our scriptures also suggest
00:04:38
that since man is the highest evolved
00:04:40
animal on earth it should eat food which
00:04:43
involves least amount of violence that
00:04:45
is fruits and vegetables ayurveda
00:04:47
recommends getting protein from living
00:04:50
foods like dals and sprouts and not dead
00:04:52
meat moreover our saints and sages have
00:04:55
propounded that mother nature has not
00:04:57
designed human beings to eat meat
00:04:59
physiologically our teeth resembles more
00:05:02
like herbivorous animals our digestive
00:05:04
tract is also longer in tune with the
00:05:07
leaf eating animals meat gets rotten
00:05:09
quickly perhaps that is why carnivorous
00:05:12
animals have shorter intestines moreover
00:05:14
the structure of nails the way of
00:05:16
drinking water and vision suggests that
00:05:18
we are better eating plant-based what
00:05:21
about dairy products well indian cow has
00:05:23
been revered like mother since long in
00:05:26
this culture our scriptures highly
00:05:28
recommend drinking pure indian cow milk
00:05:30
its ghee or clarified butter is compared
00:05:33
to nectar so ayurveda is clear that man
00:05:35
who is the most evolved animal on earth
00:05:38
should eat consciously creating the
00:05:40
least amount of violence for optimum
00:05:42
physical and mental health non-veg food
00:05:44
should be abstained from however the
00:05:46
choice rests on the person and he shall
00:05:48
bear the consequence in my opinion one
00:05:51
should eat holistically a diet should
00:05:53
not just benefit your body and mind but
00:05:55
it should be conducive to other
00:05:57
creatures as well as the environment we
00:05:59
are living in if you want to achieve the
00:06:01
highest level of mental clarity and
00:06:03
physical health be vegetarian and if you
00:06:06
think it will hinder your fitness goals
00:06:08
then let me tell you that there are so
00:06:10
many examples to show that the best of
00:06:12
physical body can also be achieved
00:06:14
living on a vegetarian diet and when it
00:06:17
comes to milk and milk products my
00:06:18
stance is that you should get desi cow
00:06:21
milk probably from a gauchala near you
00:06:23
well if you are not ready to put in much
00:06:25
effort you should at least try to keep
00:06:27
non-vegetarian food to minimum consume
00:06:29
packaged milk products focus mostly on
00:06:32
vegetarian foods the choice is yours i
