The founder, Siddhartha Gautama<\/a>, became the Buddha (the Enlightened One), who would later follow hundreds of thousands of people around the world to eliminate suffering from their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Buddhist way of life is outlined by various ethical precepts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The difference between a prescription and a mandate is that the latter is mandatory and the former is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These regulations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few different schools of Buddhism, and each approach their diet a little bit differently. However, the main features are ...<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Buddhist diet is lacto-vegetarian.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n That is, they include dairy products and derivatives, but they do not take other products of animal origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is pursuing the fulfillment of the first precept (you do not take life away). Although there are Buddhist schools that are more flexible and eat animals as long as the animal is not slaughtered exclusively for humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ze sluiten de inname van alcohol en andere giftige stoffen volledig uit, omdat ze “de geest vertroebelen” en kunnen leiden tot het niet naleven van andere voorschriften.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wij houden net zoveel van een glas vino of een cocktail (of twee) als ieder ander, maar de waarheid is dat alcohol niet het beste nieuws voor je gezondheid is – dus zonder alcohol, zoals sommige boeddhisten doen, is eigenlijk heel goed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One reason, of course, is that alcohol is packed with calories. Drinking a lot can easily lead to weight gain, so if weight loss<\/a> your goal, minimizing your alcohol consumption will be an important tactic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What may not surprise you is that alcohol consumption is also linked to a range of conditions, including colon cancer, breast cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and mental health problems. They're pretty serious things, so if you can live without it (or at least be more frugal), your health will thank you very much for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lately everyone has been talking about intermittent fasting<\/a>, but Buddhists have been doing it for 2,500 years without anyone telling them what autophagy<\/a> is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n De reden is niet dat ze van plan zijn in een strak pak te kruipen of die 2% overtollig lichaamsvet te verliezen. Nee, Boeddha’s Dieet bestaat uit vasten om hun zelfbeheersing en willpower<\/a> which is of course a very nice motivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, they limit food intake to only the hours of the sun, which, given recent evidence, may be beneficial for maintaining our healthy biorhythms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buddhism cannot be understood without talking about meditation, compassion or empathy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n These customs are so intrinsic to the Buddhist school and have also shown the scientific community that they have many health benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now let's talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the Buddhist way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It's a healthy diet when properly considered, and has been shown to reduce the cases of multiple chronic diseases (including cardiovascular disease, killer number 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The absorption of abundant polyphenols, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals along with a non-excessive energy intake make it an interesting choice in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a diet that completely eliminates alcohol and is often recommended in nutritional advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, Buddhists are masters of intermittent fasting and take advantage (without perhaps knowing it) of all its benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is striking how some form of fasting practice has been incorporated into all traditions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Buddhist way of life also includes other non-diet related practices beneficial to health, such as meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, nothing is quite perfect. In this case too, there are some drawbacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certain vegan or vegetarian populations are known to have lower levels of essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, vitamin D, zinc or omega-3, all of which are present in good proportions in foods of animal origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, with good planning (and addition) this can of course be corrected, but unfortunately these correct planning and adjustments do not always happen. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As with any vegetarian diet, without proper planning, it can be difficult to get an adequate amount of protein to prevent (or treat) sarcopenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Healthy aging involves maintaining a quantitative and qualitative healthy muscle mass.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When mentioning Buddhism or its lifestyle, it rarely involves exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, climbing stairs at the monastery can be of added value, but strength exercises between the meditation session would be even better.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Buddhist diet is a fairly sensible diet, much of which should be achievable in the long run. For the most laid-back Buddhists, diet, alcohol consumption, and eating patterns are a personal choice, but it doesn't hurt to learn a few lessons from the traditional Buddhist diet if you're trying to improve your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also good to learn a lot from the Buddhist community, and not just about their diet. Their attitude to life, their respect for others and, most importantly, their good control and prevention of health problems stress<\/a>, are tools that are needed more than ever in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sources include BodyAndSoul (link<\/a>), Coveteur (link<\/a>), HSNStore (link<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Veel mensen vinden de boeddhisten altijd leuk, vanwege onder andere hun vriendelijke blik en glimlach de gehele dag op het gezicht.
