most modern people are carnivorous animals, almost every meal without meat. However, healthy diet advocates balanced nutrition and suggests that we should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, eat more vegetables and eat less meat. At the same time, many people choose to be vegetarian for health reasons. But vegetarianism is not as simple as some people think eating only starches and fruits and vegetables. If you don’t pay attention to the collocation, it is easy to cause malnutrition.
some nutritionists pointed out that as long as the reasonable collocation, vegetarianism can meet the vast majority of nutrients needed by the human body, but how to reasonably collocation vegetarianism is a profound knowledge.
in foreign countries, there are special nutritionists who can do vegetarian consultation and matching suggestions. However, most Chinese people’s vegetarianism is easy to lead to malnutrition. Some vegetarians don’t even eat eggs, so they are more prone to anemia, constipation, malnutrition and other problems, which will not only lead to physical decline, but also induce brain dysfunction, and even increase the risk of cancer.
how to be a healthy vegetarian?
a relatively simple method is to appropriately increase grains (beans, coarse grains, etc.), milk (milk, cheese, etc.), eggs and other foods to supplement protein that is easy to lack. Grains + beans, nuts + beans, grains + dairy products, dairy products + nuts are all good ways to balance nutrition.
in addition, some nutrients are really difficult to be absorbed through complete vegetarianism. At this time, we can take dietary supplements to supplement them properly. For example, vitamin B12 only exists in animal foods. If vegetarians don’t even drink milk, it is easy to cause vitamin B12 deficiency. They need to rely on vitamin tablets or foods fortified with vitamin B12 (such as cereal, bread and bean products).
