"My mother has been a vegetarian for 15 years, and the vegetarian feast was put forward by her, hoping to convey the concept of green and healthy life to relatives and friends." On 26th, Yao, the bride who is on her honeymoon in Thailand, told this newspaper that vegetarian food is high in nutrition and low in calories, which is good for health. If cooked well, it tastes not inferior to meat dishes. The in-laws who disagreed at first finally accepted.
"The hotel is also happy. Now there are more and more vegetarians, which is also an opportunity to study new recipes. " Aunt Yao told the newspaper that the process of making vegetarian food is more complicated than that of meat dishes. The price of each table is about 2000 yuan, which is similar to the normal wedding banquet in the hotel. "After eating that day, many friends told me that they were very satisfied with the appearance and taste of the dishes. In the future, their children will also have a vegetarian feast when they get married. "
Vegetarian, okay?
It is understood that vegetarianism is beneficial, and the key is how to eat. You can't be a vegetarian blindly, otherwise it will not only have no effect, but also hurt your health.
Precautions for vegetarianism
1, don't think that all fruits and vegetables can be eaten raw.
Rinse clean to prevent insects and pesticides. Starch, such as potatoes, is not easy to digest.
Don't eat one or two fruits and vegetables for a long time.
Because every kind of fruit and vegetable has every flavor and different nutrition, if it can be eaten alternately, it is easier to get balanced nutrition and fresher.
3. Vegetarians should ensure that protein is adequate.
In fact, vegetarians usually achieve the complementary effects of various foods and protein, regardless of whether they carefully use the complementary effects of protein. When we eat rice and beans, soybean milk and fried dough sticks, and many other foods, we will unconsciously and automatically conform to the functions of protein and form a complete protein.
4. Appropriate supplementation of vitamin B 12.
Vegetarians are more likely to lack B 12, resulting in low red blood cell and heme content. Therefore, it should be considered to supplement it by oral administration (such as yeast) or injection. There is no shortage of vitamin B 12 for a person who practices milk essence. Because B 12 milk content is sufficient. Vitamin B 12 in plant foods mainly exists in seaweed foods such as laver and kelp. If there is no vitamin B 12 in the diet, it can be maintained for 20 years without vitamin B 12 through enterohepatic circulation. But if the attraction is not good, there will be a shortage in about three years. Therefore, the longer you stay vegetarian, the more you will suffer from vitamin B 12 deficiency, so you should supplement vitamin B 12.
The benefits of vegetarianism
1, lose weight
A large number of studies have pointed out that vegetarians generally consume less calories, so they are lighter and have lower body fat index than non-vegetarians.
Step 2 keep it smooth and soft
Many vitamins, pigments and phytochemicals (such as anthocyanins) found in fruits and vegetables will make our skin healthy.
3. It's good for the heart
Researchers at Harvard University have tracked the health habits of 1 10000 people for four years. The results show that the more fruits and vegetables people eat, the less likely they are to suffer from heart disease.
Step 4 stay away from diabetes
The World Health Organization predicts that diabetes will become the seventh leading cause of death in 2030. Fortunately, according to the research of Harvard School of Public Health, type B diabetes is completely preventable. As long as you eat correctly, you can stay away from diabetes to some extent.
Step 5 control high blood pressure
Many studies, including some from Harvard School of Public Health, show that eating more fruits and vegetables can lower blood pressure.
About one-third of American adults have high blood pressure, which means they are at high risk of heart disease and stroke-the two leading causes of death in the United States.
6. Improve digestive function
Eating more vegetables and beans means increasing the intake of dietary fiber, which can improve the overall digestive function and reduce constipation.
7, the skin is more shiny
If we eat alkaline vegetables and fruits for a long time, the lactic acid in the blood will be greatly reduced, and naturally harmful substances will not be produced. These harmful substances will be discharged to the skin surface with sweat, which will damage the health of the skin. At the same time, minerals and fibers in plant foods can remove harmful substances from the blood. This purified blood can give full play to its function, deliver enough nutrition and oxygen in the process of metabolism, so that all organs of the body can be full of vitality, and the skin is naturally healthy, shiny, meticulous and elastic.
8. Prevention of osteoporosis
Vegetarian diet helps to increase bone density and prevent osteoporosis. A high protein diet is the cause of osteoporosis.
9. Be in a good mood
Economists and public health researchers from Warwick University and Dartmouth College in the United States investigated the eating habits of 80,000 people in Britain, and found that people who eat seven servings of fruits and vegetables a day feel happiest, while ordinary people eat less than three servings a day.
10, the body energy level will increase.
Eating more foods rich in dietary nitrate such as spinach, kale and beans will make you feel more energetic. Nitrate is good for blood vessel health. It can dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure and even improve exercise ability.
1 1, enhance wisdom
In society, we often hear some proverbs encouraging poor children, such as "If you have no seeds, a man should strive for self-improvement", or "If you get the roots of vegetables, you will be a strange person", and even there is a sigh of "How many white houses are out"! But who knows the truth that "being a vegetarian is smarter"?
