Vegetarianism can improve wisdom

 素食可提高智慧

Modern people talk about vegetarianism and modern medical experts. Through continuous research and research, they found that vegetarianism has two major benefits. First, vegetarianism can improve wisdom and judgment. He said: According to physiological evidence, human brain activity is the interaction of positive and negative forces in the brain cells. The continuous impact in the human brain forms what we usually call 'thinking'. At the end of the impact, there is always one side of the role to win, which is what we usually call 'decision'. But in order for brain cells to fully play their positive and negative roles, it is necessary to fully supply the necessary nutrients for brain cells. This nutrient is mainly glutamic acid, followed by vitamin B and oxygen. The whole grains and beans are the most abundant in the food, which contains glutamic acid and various vitamin B, followed by meat. Therefore, only those who practice vegetarian diet can gain more sound brain power and improve their wisdom and judgment.

Recall that 40 years ago, when we were in school, the medical profession thought that if we wanted to improve our wisdom, 'we should eat more phosphorus and iron food'. Its scientific basis is that the lack of phosphorus in the cerebral cortex cells affects brain power, and the lack of phosphorus in the nerves means that the transmission is delayed. As for iron, it is an important factor to improve intelligence. If the human body lacks iron, it will suffer from anemia, headache, palpitation, forgetfulness, body fatigue and other diseases. Such people will naturally have poor grades in reading. Food is so closely related to education, so young students should not be ignorant of nutrition knowledge and the benefits of vegetarianism.

Everyone wants to be the most intelligent person in the world; Especially for students, they always want to see everything at a glance and never forget it. In order to be a super homo sapiens, we have to replenish the brain and body. There is an old misconception among the Chinese people, 'When the body is weak, it can be replenished with meat, and it is thought that the liver can replenish the liver, and the brain can naturally replenish the brain'. In the past, science was not developed, and everyone did not know that pigs, sheep and cows contained cholesterol in their brains. Under the misconception that they wanted to eat the brain to replenish the brain, many children from rich families became stupid, but they were not as smart as the poor children who had a good bite of vegetables. So the society often hears some proverbs that encourage the children of the poor, such as' the prime minister has no seed, the man should be self-reliant ', or' bite the root of the vegetable, the square is strange man ', and even' how many white houses come out of the public secretary '! But who knows the truth of "vegetarianism is wise"!

In China's Buddhist circles, all monks and nuns who follow Mahayana Buddhism are vegetarian. From ancient times to the present, in our Buddhism, there are many eminent monks, who are either intelligent or eloquent, such as Shi Dao'an, who is famous all over the world, Tang Xuanzang, who is only five seals high, the wise man who is ninety years old, talks about his wisdom, the living man who nods with a stone, the cool man who is the master of the seven emperors, and the lotus pond who is the founder of the eight generations according to his deeds. Such eminent monks are incomparable in virtue. Although they say that they are practicing Buddhism, their blessings and wisdom increase; It is also a great cause for improving wisdom to follow the Buddhist system and be vegetarian all the year round.

　现代人谈素食一书，谈到现代医学家，在不断研究考证中，发现素食有两大利益，第一、是素食可以提高智慧与判断力。他说：根据生理上之证明，人的头脑活动力，是由脑细胞内具有正反两种力量交互作用，在人的大脑中不断冲击，就形成了吾人通常所谓的‘思考’，冲击到最后，总有一方面的作用获得胜利，这就是我们通常说的‘决定’。但是要使大脑细胞，能够充分发挥其正反两种作用，就必须充分供给大脑细胞所必需的养分。这种养分，主要为麸酸，其次为维生素B及氧等。而食物中则以完整谷类及豆类，含麸酸和各种维生素B最丰富，肉则次之且量微，所以惟有实行素食的人，才能获得更为健全的脑力，也才能使智慧与判断力提高。

　　回忆四十年前，我们在求学时代，那时医学界，颇以为欲想提高智慧，‘应多食磷质和铁质的食物’。其科学的根据，是大脑皮层细胞缺乏磷，便影响脑力，神经缺乏磷，即传达迟。至于铁质它是提高智慧之重要因素，人体若缺乏铁质，则患贫血，发生头痛、心悸跳、善忘、体倦等症，这样的人，读书成绩自然低劣了。食品对学业关系如此密切，所以青年学生，不可不知营养常识和素食的利益。

　　每个人都希望自己是这世界上最有智慧的人；尤以做学生的人，总希望一目十行，过目不忘。为了想要做超级智人，于是就得补脑补身体。中国人古老相传一个错误观念，‘人体虚弱，借助肉补，又以为食肝补肝，食脑自然可以补脑了’。从前科学不发达，大家都不知道猪羊牛脑中，含有胆固醇，在妄想食脑补脑之错误观念下，有许多的‘富家子弟变成呆头呆脑’，反而不及‘咬得菜根香’的贫寒子弟，来得聪明智慧。于是社会上常有听得一些勉诸清寒子弟的谚语，如‘将相本无种，男儿当自强’，或是‘咬得菜根，方是奇男子’，甚至有‘几多白屋出公卿’之叹！可是又有谁知道‘素食多智’的道理呢！

　　我国佛教界，奉行大乘佛法，出家僧尼，一律素食。从古至今，我佛教中，高僧辈出，或智慧超群，或辩才无碍，如名满天下的释道安，才高五印的唐玄奘，智者九旬谈妙，生公顽石点头，清凉以道德文章为七帝师，莲池以行解相应作八代祖，如是等高僧大德，不可胜计，虽曰彼等修持佛法故，福慧增长；而遵行佛制，常年素食，对于提高智慧，亦是一大因缘。（信息来源：般若文海）
