Is vegetarianism more environmentally friendly?
Vegetarianism destroys the environment for two main reasons.
In order to keep healthy, 1 vegetarians need to take nutritional supplements extracted from animal food processing, which is one more process than eating meat directly, which leads to serious pollution and some waste, especially in Americans, who don't eat internal organs, resulting in about 1/5 of carbon emissions being wasted. The carbon emissions wasted here are hundreds of times more than those saved by vegetarians.
Vegetarians often like to buy organic food, which needs organic agricultural production and does not need chemical fertilizer; The unit output of organic agriculture is far lower than that of modern agriculture using chemical fertilizers (only one-third of the output without chemical fertilizers), which leads to the need for much more cultivated land to feed the same number of people and causes much greater environmental damage than modern agriculture.
Is vegetarianism worth promoting?
1. Reduce resistance
Long-term vegetarianism is harmful to health and may lead to decreased resistance. Due to the lack of nutrition in long-term vegetarian diet, the human body cannot obtain the nutrients contained in many meat products. This may be due to the lack of quality of some nutrients. If the resistance is weak, it will increase the risk of illness. To avoid weak body resistance, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, correctly match vegetarian food, and avoid long-term vegetarian food.
2. Calcium deficiency
Being a vegetarian for a long time is not good for your health. Under the influence of long-term vegetarianism, many people may suffer from osteoporosis. If you want to keep your bones healthy, you need enough nutrition to supplement the calcium needed in eggs and dairy products, so as to meet the needs of the human body and get good calcium supplement. In some vegetarians, the lack of calcium supplements will lead to calcium deficiency and seriously damage bone health.
3. Reduce the fertility rate
Long-term vegetarianism will reduce the fertility of men and women. Men and women want to have good fertility, sperm and eggs should be healthy, and the quality of eggs and sperm should be improved in order to need adequate nutrition. Many people are vegetarian for a long time, and lack of nutrition may lead to a decline in fertility. In order to prevent damage to health, weak resistance or decline in fertility, attention should be paid to rationalization of diet.
Accelerate aging
Eating vegetarian food for a long time will make us more prone to aging. Some people think that eating more vegetables will make our skin more lubricated and hydrated. In fact, this is wrong. Because our health needs nutrition to maintain, and long-term vegetarianism will make these nutrients lose and lack, and can't provide some substances needed by our skin tissues, such as protein, which will reduce the skin's resistance and make us more aging. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to a reasonable diet in order to prevent aging.
To sum up, it is not good to eat vegetarian food for a long time, but it will have a great impact on the human body.
