Is vegan really healthy?

Vegetarianism is a kind of returning to nature, health and protecting the ecological environment of the earth. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 50 million vegetarians in China, about 30 million in the United States and about 65.438+million in Britain. They have become or are considering becoming vegetarians. The quietly spread vegetarian culture has made vegetarian food a fashion label that is popular all over the world. Vegetarianism has become a brand-new environmental protection and healthy lifestyle. But is vegan really healthy? Let's analyze it from the perspective of nutrition.

Vegetarian ingredients mainly include: whole grains, beans, vegetables, fungi, algae, fruits, nuts and so on.

Youdian

The daily vegetarian diet is especially rich in water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and B vitamins. The most important dietary fiber is high in content and easy to digest and absorb, which can reduce the pressure of digestion, absorption and metabolism of various organs of the body, thus reducing the incidence of cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and many metabolic diseases.

Missing point

Vegetarian, because the limitations of food are very obvious. For example, the lack of some fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium will lead to a series of health problems, such as dry eye, poor eyesight, anemia, osteoporosis and endocrine disorders, especially the lack of protein, which will directly lead to more serious sub-health states such as memory loss, hair loss and decreased immunity.

Therefore, it is suggested that friends who want to become vegetarians or prepare vegetarians should eat three meals a day, mainly vegetarian food, supplemented by meat, and have more balanced nutrition.

Proportion: 60% vegetables +20% meat, eggs and milk +20% staple food.

Only a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables can ensure that we get enough nutrition every day, and a scientific and reasonable diet can protect our health.
