The
20 year old pop star is obviously obsessed with Tattoos. He took to his
instagram page yesterday to show off the new tattoo he got, which
includes a Korean mask, a boombox and fish scales, which covered his
whole left arm
A review of dozens of articles published on the biochemistry of vegetarianism during the past 30 years
concludes that people who follow a vegan lifestyle — strict vegetarians
who try to eat no meat or animal products of any kind — may increase
their risk of developing blood clots and atherosclerosis or “hardening of the arteries,” which are conditions that can lead to heart attacks and stroke. Duo Li notes in the review that meat eaters are known for having a significantly higher combination of cardiovascular risk factors than vegetarians. Lower-risk vegans, however, may not be immune.
Their diets tend to be lacking several key nutrients — including iron,
zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. While a balanced vegetarian diet
can provide enough protein, this isn’t always the case when it comes to
fat and fatty acids. As a result, vegans tend to have elevated blood
levels of homocysteine and decreased levels of HDL, the “good” form of
cholesterol.
Both are risk factors for heart disease.
It concludes that there is a strong scientific basis for vegetarians and
vegans to increase their dietary omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12 to
help contend with those risks. Good sources of omega-3s include salmon
and other oily fish, walnuts and certain other nuts. Good sources of
vitamin B12 include seafood, eggs, and fortified milk. Dietary supplements also can supply these nutrients.
