Vegetarian diet enhances mental perfomance

E.W Words: „Grains, fruits, nuts and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator...They impart a strength, a power of endurance, and a vigor of intellect, that are not afforded by a more complex and stimulating diet.“ ...Individuals will have greater power of endurance if they abstain from meat than if they subsist largely upon it.“ „ It is a mistake to suppose that muscular strength depends on the use of animal food.“

Medical science Speaks:
Bycycle tests of athletes who follow a high fat, high protein diet, high meat diet, can triple their endurance by switching to a vegetarian type of high carbohydrate diet.
Marathon runners among many others have discovered that meat is a detriment to distance running or other endurance activities.
The belief that a diet strong in meat is essential for people that do muscular work has been prevalent up to just a few years ago.

E.W words: Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables...impart a vigor of intellect, that is not aforded by a more complex and stimulating diet.

Medical science speaks:
Meat contains a substance that impairs brain activity and lacks a substance that the brain needs to function well. Arachidonic acid found in meat impairs optimal functioning of the brain center for wisdom, judgement and foresight – the frontal lobe.
Animal foods are devoid carbohydrate, which is the primary source of energy that the brain can use, but a vegetarian diet contains plentiful supply.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a very important nutrient in reducing risk of depression. Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for optional brain development during the critical formative time of early life. Cow´s milk and traditional baby formulas are both low in omega-3 fatty acids. Today´s adult who were given infant formulas and cow´s milk have, on average, a 9-10 point lower IQ than those who were receiving human breast milk.

It is impossible for both meat-eaters and vegetarians to have a diet too low in omega-3 fats. There is a way to bybass the cholesterol and toxins that come with the animal-derived omega-3 fats. We obtain the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from a plant fat called "linolenic acid".
