Introduction
The main problems of people nowadays are obesity and illnesses connected with
digestive system
...
(fig
...
Moreover, in 2014, more than 1
...
Of these over 600 million were obese (Health World Organization,
2015)
...
That is why, some people keep
vegetarian lifestyle to be healthy and to take under control their weight
...
According to American
Alzheimer Association (2014), anxiety, depression and even schizophrenia, a mental disorder
often characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real (
Murray, 2007), can be caused by consumption of meat
...
People and scientists tend to concern about
its effects, because it was not fully discovered, that is why the following project work will be
about physical effects of vegetarianism to human’s body
...
The only

1

way of healing this disease is dieting
...


This illness can also provide other diseases like, skin problems, obesity,

constipation and even harder ones
...
Moreover, a lot of articles about benefits of vegetarianism for people’s body
were written, so it became my motivation for researching extra data and making my own
decisions about this kind of lifestyle
...
On account of small
knowledge, there is no way of stating something, that is why via gaining more information
and expertising, the results will be made, even it is believed by me that natural products
always have positive impact on human’s health and I value this
...
Also, to
fully research how raw eating can affect our body, and understand is it healthy or harmful
...
Questions below will help to improve this research
project and to widely describe everything
...


Methods
To find out more data for this project, lots of resources were searched
...
On account of that, different methods were used, because substandard sources
and information will provide bad-quality research work
...
To overcome that problem
RAVEN (criteria of finding good data) was used
...
Hence,
the methods that were used, described by bullet points below:
● To find out diversity of perspectives “Questionnaire” was used, which was
made by “SurveyMonkey
...
Surveys are the best example of primary source
...
“The margin
of error” is 5%, and the sample size is 97 people, that is why, it was claimed that the
amount of people is enough
...

● To clarify the information, which was found, the interview was held
...
Using 10 questions
and possible connected questions following information was found
...

● Also, by using different types of websites, there were found all needed extra
information
...

It will provide accurate, proven and proper resources
...
It gives evidences and
arguments of each statement that were used in the article
...
For that, YouTube channel
helped a lot
...
It is also
afford some good quotes and statistics to use
...
Gabriel Cousens
(holistic medical doctor) that challenges 6 Americans suffering from diabetes, to give
up dairy, meat, sugar, alcohol and other items and adopt entirely organic, raw eating
habits, in other words vegan diet, in order to heal their body
...

● Moreover, additional data was found by a range of books
...
For
instance, the book by Neil A
...
A global approach” gave full
description of digestive system of people, and how vegan diet influences to it
...
The
validity of the news still relevant
...

Being against animal cruelty, health problems, ideology of “world hunger” and economic,
environmental concerns are the main reasons of keeping vegetarian lifestyle
...
In order, to identify the physical impact of it, the
project was started
...
“A gram of
portion of raw ground beef contains a large amount of Vitamin B12, B3 (Niacin), B6, Iron,
Zinc, Selenium and plenty of other vitamins and minerals” (Gunnars, 2013)
...
Meat is indispensable source of
protein, creatine and carnosine (which is good for brain function and muscles), Omega-3,
fatty acids CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), and it has along more amount of vitamins A and
E
...
While others suppose that heavy
meat-eaters have higher risk of this illness, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(2014) published the review of Oxford studies, which reveal that, “Within the study, the
incidence of all cancers combined was lower among vegetarians than among meat eaters, but
the incidence of colorectal cancer was higher in vegetarians than in meat eaters
...


5

On the other hand, vegetarian lifestyle has a way more benefits for our physical
appearance and health
...
The foods that non-vegetarians consume high in animal fat, salt,
processed foods and even chemicals, which can lead to serious health problems, and obesity
is not exception
...
The study looked at 22,000 meat eaters, fish eaters,
vegetarians, and vegans (Cancer Research UK, 2015)
...
There were people with 2 Type Diabetes, and 8
of ten were obese
...
Also, some studies show that when the place for fat storage has
ended, body starts to store fat in inappropriate places like around the organs
...

The second negative impact of vegetarianism is depression, which can occur by “strict
eating habits” and lack of vital microorganisms (that animal products have)
...
If person consumed 2000-2500 cal
...
That is why,
people tend to feel depressed, but others claim that people has to change their diet slowly, in
order to don’t stress out the body
...
“Vitamin B12 is responsible for the production and

6

maintenance of DNA, red blood cells, and the nervous system
...
If left untreated, a vitamin B12 deficiency can cause severe depression,
paranoia, delusions, loss of memory, and much more” (Velasco, 2014)
...

However, vegetarian lifestyle has positive impact like healing the illnesses
...
22 of 24 reported that they have healed from that disease
...
The ADA (The American Diabetes Association) (2015) after their
research concluded that, vegetarian or vegan diets “are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and
may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases”
...
By analyzing them, we can know some information about the people using
questionnaire and gain new knowledge from interviews
...
It was
held not only among the Kazakhstan, it also was held in other countries too, via the internet
link
...
Which
means that they are probably not vegetarians and consume plenty amount of animal
7

products
...
2) People have to daily eat more than 100 grams of greens, in order to
provide good digestive system and enrich the body with vital vitamins
...
33% of people have diseases connected with their eating habits, which means that
more than half of them tend to eat wrong (fig
...
On account
of that, it is hard for organs to get rid of the toxins, which stores after digesting those
types of food, and if person consume less greens, these toxins will “ruin” the organs
and new ailments of digestive system will appear
...




Moreover, the last question was about choosing the food that they want to eat know
...
67% of them made a healthy choice, but these are older people, and all the
young people chose burger and it is other 33
...
(fig
...

Also interview was held, which was the perfect primary source
...
It is useful for health, because it ensures minimum
consumption of cholesterol and fat
...
Besides, they are rich in dietary fibers

8

useful contribute to normal operation of the intestine, which is prevents many diseases,
including cancer
...
Micronutrient deficiencies: vegetarians do not
have enough calcium, iron, zinc
...

Lack of riboflavin: vegetables and fruits do not have it at all
...
Basic products containing riboflavin - is the liver and kidneys
Respondent 2 (vegetarian)


Did you have some diseases of digestive system?

I did, but I didn’t know it
...


Conclusion
Via using websites, books, newspapers and films, the following statements were
found
...
There are lots of perspectives about this type of lifestyle, and it also
has physical and mental impacts to human’s body
...
Using the aimed
questions, the whole work was done
...
The film
“Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days” (2009) gives an insight of our body, and
shows how the “incurable” ailments can be cured by raw eating
...
Also, weight loss and preventing some
serious diseases are other positive effects of it
...
Majority of books, newspapers and websites
claimed it
...
So the
dangers are:


High risk of colorectal cancer;



Weak bones;



Lack of vital vitamins and minerals;



Depression and stress;
These effects were revealed by researching secondary and primary sources
...
By analyzing information and answering
the questions, the conclusion is given below:
1
...
Positive impacts of it
is weight loss, healthy digestive system, low cholesterol level, also it helps to prevent: cancer,
type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, hypertension (high blood pressure), gallstones, kidney stones
and even osteoporosis
...

2
...

Moreover, lack of vitamins and minerals can lead to depression, bad brain function, and weak
bones
...
Can people heal some diseases by being vegetarian?

10

Healing the ailments by using the vegetarianism is possible
...
Gabriel
Cousens in his documentary film “Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days” (2009)
...
Moreover, asthma and biliary
dyskinesia can be healed by vegan diet
...
Vegetarians should provide themselves well-organized diet, because some
of the vitamins are in foods, that people do not consume regularly
...
It is believed by me, that vegetarianism is the perfect way of healing in the modern
world
...
Raw eating will detox the body
from toxins and from other stools that our body stores
...

The relevance of the project is very high, because all information was taken from
credible sources checked by different criteria
...


Evaluation
Research work has its own strength and weaknesses, which were allowed during the
searching
...
Also, they are from different countries, which allow me to
generalize the data
...
The content of the project is not biased, all perspectives were covered
...
The audience
of the questionnaire is from different age ranges (fig
...

On the other hand, the better work could be done
...
It would be great if my own research was held, to experience how it is
to be vegetarian
...
All aforementioned things could be used in order to make relevant
research work
...
As it was mentioned before, the conditions that
people live in and their health are different, that is why some people may have these impacts
and some of them not
...
Overall, degree of generalization is medium
...
People can
be shocked from negative sides of it, and will never try this diet, even short-term veganism is
the perfect way of healing
...

This conclusion can be used in order to define what vegetarianism is and what
physical impact it has on human’s body
...
The things that we never think
about appeared in front of me and plenty amount of vital information was gained
...
So, the thing that was learned is that these
global issues can be solved by vegetarian lifestyle
...
Moreover, scientists and some
politicians do believe that vegetarianism is the only way of solving the "world hunger"
problem that can appear in the future, on account of rapid increase in population of human
beings
...
Before the research, it was believed by
me that vegetarianism is just for losing weight, and meat is the vital food that people have to
consume
...

The research topic was narrow enough, and it covered only physical impact of it
...
Moreover, not only mentioning
the effects, also giving the solutions for them would be great for the further research
...
So, answering these questions in the future can
provide the full understanding of vegetarianism and all its effects and solutions
...
;



Information can be gathered depending on people's living conditions;

Further evidences can be gathered from books, newspapers and scientifical articles to
provide more relevant information
