This is an era of anxiety. Making money makes us anxious, and so does our health.
You must have such friends around you. When they order food, they shout:
Less oil and less salt!
The lighter the better!
Well, can we have a good meal together?
Organic, light food, fitness meals ... Under this new diet fashion, vegetarianism has attracted more and more attention.
What kind of people are they? What about their vegetarian dining table?
This article will take you to explore the vegetarian world.
Vegetarianism shows the cultural concept of returning to nature, health and protecting the ecological environment of the earth.
There are110 people in the United States and 1/6 people in the United Kingdom who have been or are considering becoming vegetarians.
Anne Hathaway, Prince William, Jason Nana, Big S Wang Xiaofei and other people who have had a big fire are scrambling to hold vegetarian wedding banquets.
Vegetarianism has become a new fashion lifestyle, and gradually swept the world.
In fact, vegetarianism is not a recent phenomenon. It can be traced back thousands of years to ancient Greece and India.
It originated from an ancient philosophy, that is, equality, no killing and compassion.
With the spread of Buddhism and other eastern philosophies, it became popular on a large scale.
Carnivores usually refer to omnivores, which means that both animals and plants eat, and humans are considered omnivores.
Vegetarians and herbivores have very similar eating habits.
But there are also more specific divisions:
Vegetarians are vegetarians who don't eat meat, but their diet still contains dairy products and eggs.
Vegetarians are also called vegans. Their diet forbids all meat, eggs, dairy products or any animal products. At the same time, vegetarians will not use items made of other animals in your home, such as honey, fur coats, leather sofas and so on.
Vegetarianism is a way of life. What makes so many people choose this way of eating?
Some people insist on vegetarianism because they advocate avoiding all kinds of oppression and abuse of animals as much as possible.
Some people think that stopping eating animal products will alleviate their diseases because they are sick all the year round, just for health reasons.
Others are environmentalists. Sticking to a vegetarian diet will reduce global carbon emissions.
The way they promote vegetarianism is to set an example and not force others.
Is a vegan diet really as good as advertised?
Virpi Mikkonen, a famous vegetarian blogger in Finland, started vegan at the age of 22.
After more than ten years of vegetarianism, she felt a lot of discomfort in her body:
I have a rash on my face, the flu won't go away for a long time, and my nails are easy to break. Depression, headache, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and even premature menopause.
At the doctor's suggestion, she can only give up vegan food.
Australian fitness blogger Sarahs Day lost all her muscles after six months of vegan diet.
Her body needs a lot of protein to support it.
She began to crave the diet of every animal, so she stopped being a vegetarian.
Which diet is more suitable for human beings, vegetarian or meat?
From an evolutionary point of view, the diet of meat eaters seems to be the reason for the development of our brain wisdom, because eating meat can lead to more protein intake.
In Okinawa, Japan, the traditional diet is considered to be the healthiest and longest-lived.
Okinawa has the highest percentage of centenarians in the world.
There are 740 centenarians in the island's population of 6.5438+0.3 million.
The traditional Okinawa diet is based on a large number of plant carbohydrates.
Although they are mainly vegetarians, they also eat meat, usually pork, on special festivals.
Of course, even if we follow healthy eating habits like Okinawa islanders, it doesn't mean that we will never get sick or live forever.
Nowadays, choosing a diet is a very "personalized" thing.
The choice of vegetarianism is no longer deliberate, and there is no need to support your claim with guilt about life.
It began to become natural and became a choice for people at a certain stage.
It's like a person suddenly feels that he should tidy up his home after constantly adding a lot of novel items.
No matter what kind of diet, there is no absolute advantage or disadvantage.
Nowadays, vegetarian restaurants have spread all over the world.
Some famous five-star hotels have special vegetarian services or set up special vegetarian restaurants.
Most airlines in the world offer various vegetarian meals.
Anyone can choose their own lifestyle and eating habits.
How to find this "fit" may be a question worth thinking about.
