Vegetarianism is becoming more and more accepted as a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. However, many people have misconceptions about vegetarianism: if you have high blood lipids, blood pressure and uric acid, you should eat very vegetarian and not touch any meat. Only eat vegetables not meat, you can prolong life, less disease. In fact, these concepts are not correct. “The key to a long and healthy life is a scientific diet. Of course, for those who have religious beliefs or like vegetarian food, it is also possible to eat vegetarian, but you must pay attention to the following issues. Vegetarianism is not the same as “eating only vegetables and not meat”. In fact, vegetarianism is not “austerity”, there are several vegetarian ways to eat vegetarian food, and you can choose the most suitable vegetarian way according to your own situation. Only strict vegetarians do not eat any animal food, not even animal oil or vegetarian dishes cooked with animal food. Some monks do not even eat onions, garlic, leeks, cilantro and other spicy vegetables. 2.Flexible vegetarian diet / semi-vegetarian If you do not eat animal food all year round, it will have an impact on your health. Therefore, there is a flexible vegetarian diet. They depend on the situation, and sometimes eat some meat. 3, fish vegetarian Fish vegetarian belongs to a kind of semi-vegetarian, meat food in only eat a variety of fish. So, please don’t be too surprised when a vegetarian says he eats fish. 4, egg and milk vegetarian Egg and milk vegetarian also belongs to a kind of semi-vegetarian, they can drink milk, yogurt, can eat a variety of eggs, the body needs most of the nutrients can be more fully guaranteed. Especially the high quality calcium in dairy products is incomparable to most other foods. Regardless of which vegetarian diet is used, it is important to pay attention to the nutritional balance. The choice of semi-vegetarian or egg and milk vegetarian can better avoid the occurrence of malnutrition and nutritional imbalance. Not everyone is suitable for vegetarians People with special nutritional needs, such as patients with metabolic diseases of liver and kidney function, patients recuperating from surgery, are not recommended to eat strictly vegetarian if they cannot ensure a balanced nutritional intake and meet their body needs. For people who do not have the above conditions, when eating vegetarian food, still need to pay attention to the nutrition ratio of the diet. All people need carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, water and inorganic salts, which are important nutrients. The only difference between vegetarian and non-vegetarian is the source of the nutrients, whether they are plant-based or animal-based. As long as the intake of nutrients is balanced, the body can also be great. However, if you go into the wrong direction: only white porridge, white rice, white noodles every day, with a few bites of cabbage, pickles, soup and water, hungry, but also to be touched, but very easy to malnutrition, the whole person’s spirit is not good. So, if you eat vegetarian, you must eat as healthy as possible. Grasp a few key points. 1, protein must eat enough It is not only meat is protein. Vegetarians need to eat more soy, tofu, dried beans and other legumes, as well as a variety of grains and cereals, a reasonable mix, balanced consumption, which can improve the absorption and utilization of protein. The reason why egg and lacto-ovo vegetarians and fish vegetarians are more advocated is also because they guarantee a more balanced and healthy protein consumption. In particular, eggs can be used to supplement protein and trace elements, and concerns about cholesterol can be put aside. Because the latest authoritative guidance, has been removed from the number of eggs per day limit, egg and lacto-ovo-vegetarians can eat more oh. 2, fresh vegetables to eat enough, fruit in moderation If you can eat about a pound of vegetables every day, and as much as possible to eat dark vegetables, such as dark green spinach, rape, cabbage, and broccoli, purple kale, carrots, tomatoes would be better. Fruit 1 to 2 per day, about 200 to 350 grams is completely enough to help ensure the intake of vitamins and trace elements, but must not eat more, pay attention to the sugar in the fruit and blood sugar problems. Blood sugar and blood lipids are relatively high in the elderly, it is best to eat a fist-sized fruit every day is almost enough, and can be divided into two better. 3, eat more seaweed and mushrooms seafood and mushrooms is nature’s gift to vegetarians, many long-term vegetarians like to eat this kind of food. Kelp, silver fungus, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, portobello mushrooms …… In addition to the fresh taste, they especially bring vegetarians, is rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements. Able to adhere to eat a two or two (100 grams) every day, the body is also a lot of benefits. 4, eat a moderate amount of nuts pine nuts, peanut kernels, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios …… a day to eat a small handful is also good, but be careful not to get high on melon seeds stoned. 5, balanced nutrition In order to have balanced nutrition, vegetarians need to prepare their own diet of all kinds. If you don’t have time to make your own nutritious meals, then supplement with a multivitamin to ensure nutrient intake. 6, vegetarian meat, vegetarian chicken, etc., should not be consumed in excess Soybeans, tofu, dried beans, bean curd …… these must be consumed in excess, instead of pork, beef and mutton. However, some other easy to buy “vegetarian meat”, also called vegetarian chicken, belonging to the soy protein refined processed products, because in the process of finishing, a lot of good nutrition will be lost, although the taste is beautiful, but do not gluttonous Oh. Long-term vegetarian diet can lose weight and control body shape Weight loss is affected by food calories, not by the type of food. Eating vegetarian food also depends on the food that is “high in calories” and “low in calories”. Vegetables, mushrooms and algae, and soy products are low in calories They tend to be low in calories and are suitable to be eaten in reasonable combinations to ensure nutrition while reducing calorie intake. Various kinds of algae such as seaweed, silver fungus, fungus, shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms are also good choices for low-calorie ingredients. Sweet snacks, fried staples, refined white rice and noodle staples are high in calories Doughnuts, fritters, bread …… are relatively high in starch, sugar and fat, and it is still easy to grow meat when you eat too much. Therefore, whether or not you can lose weight, and vegetarian diet has nothing to do with the key to see the overall balance, but also appropriate more active activities.
