Children who have a high IQ when entering adolescence kardiovaskular disease risk is lower. This may explain the connection between brains and health. “People with brain intelligent tend to have more healthy eating patterns,” said senior researcher at the University of Southampton, UK, Catharine Gale who led the research. As we know, a vegetarian kolesterolnya low level and rarely suffer Obesity and heart disease.

So that children can understand why that has a high IQ have a risk of heart disease is lower when they mature. Another study also found that children usually have a smart brain healthy lifestyles, not smoking, not overweight, normal blood pressure and painstaking exercise. In conducting the research, Gale and the research team collected data from 8200 men and women aged 30 years, that his IQ was dites when they are 10 years old. Interesting result, children with high IQ are vegetarian when they become aged 30 years. Approximately 4.5 percent of respondents are vegetarian, vegan a 2.5 percent (refuse to eat meat or use products that use animals to test), and 33.6 percent stated they are vegetarian but also eat fish and chicken. Most people who become vegetarian are women or those who come from social class or the top of the erudite. However, according to Gale, IQ remained a significant factor in determining a healthy lifestyle. But this research can not yet considered all the questions. Because it is not mentioned whether the children grow in the environment is vegetarian or not. “We do not know how lifestyle habits or their parents, or whether there are any special events or causes that make children grow to become a vegetarian,” said the professor from the University of Texas, Lona Sandon. While the explanation of why more women vegetarian, Sandon says that women are more on health care compared with men. “So if they (the women) believed that the vegetarian has health benefits, they will choose,” he added.
