Vascular disease is epidemic in size, Metabolic syndrome has become a way of life and everyone is looking for the MAGIC pill to fix their problems. The leading cause of death in the US is far and away cardiovascular in nature and sexual dysfunction is rampant. The common numbers are 50% of 50-year-olds, 60% of 60-year-olds, etc., suffer from sexual dysfunction. The answer today, pop a pill and fix your problem. The fallacy is that by doing so you are correcting the problem freeing you up to continue your habits that led to the problem. The worst part is, as you go along your merry way you are still highly likely to become a victim of a lethal cardiac event. While being a vegetarian seems like a drastic step there are many benefits including decrease in vascular inflammation, reversal of plaque, improved sexual function and a decrease in hypertension and many of the things that are associated with the metabolic syndrome. This lecture will point out the benefits of reducing animal protein and sticking with a plant-based diet.
