"Sweet and sour pork ribs" made of lotus root, "pickled fish" made of tofu, seaweed and green pepper, and "lobster" made of radish, Flammulina velutipes and celery-a couple in Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province held a vegetarian wedding banquet on February 23rd, 65438, in which 8 cold dishes and 20 hot dishes were all vegetarian.
"My mother has been a vegetarian for 15 years, and the vegetarian feast was put forward by her, hoping to pass on the concept of green and healthy life to relatives and friends." On the 26th, Yao Li, the bride who is on her honeymoon in Thailand, told reporters that vegetarian food is high in nutrition and low in calories, which is good for health. If cooked well, it tastes as good as meat dishes, and her in-laws who disagreed at first finally accepted it.
In order to satisfy the guests, both parents went to vegetarian restaurants in Shenzhen and Hong Kong to learn from them. Aunt Yao, the mother of the bride, also helped the banquet hotel to contact the vegetarian chefs in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province through the vegetarian circle of friends, and trained five chefs in the hotel for free.
"The hotel is also happy. Now there are more and more vegetarians, which is also an opportunity to study new recipes. " Aunt Yao told reporters that the production process of vegetarian dishes is more complicated than that of meat dishes, and the price of each table is about 2,000 yuan, which is similar to the normal wedding banquet in the hotel. "After eating that day, many friends told me that they were satisfied with the appearance and taste of the dishes, and their children would have a vegetarian feast in the future."

3, you can't just be a vegetarian for a long time.
1, long-term vegetarian diet is easy to fracture.
Studies have found that vegetarianism can reduce the risk of cancer, especially leukemia. This result has been confirmed in foreign studies. But if you don't know your physique, you will be blindly vegetarian and your body will light up with a red light. Studies have found that the bones of vegetarians are more brittle than those of meat eaters. "They have thinner bones, less calories and protein, lower body mass index and lower body fat content," the experts wrote in the research report. "They are at greater risk of fracture." A new finding is that young vegetarians are more likely to have eating disorders, and 1 1% of the respondents tend to overeat. More young vegetarians are seriously short of iron, zinc, calcium and vitamin B due to lack of guidance. They still think they are healthy.
2, long-term vegetarian menstrual disorders
From the physiological point of view of women, about13 of the respondents have menstrual disorder, and some women have anemia. Can women only eat vegetarian food? Because of the low fat intake and low estrogen secretion, these women's desires and fertility are greatly affected, and wrinkles are prone to occur, prompting women to accelerate aging.
3, long-term vegetarianism is easy to lack calcium
Although vegetarianism has many benefits, it can lead to iron deficiency anemia and calcium deficiency. Eating too many vegetables is also harmful. For example, spinach, vegetables, celery and tomatoes contain more oxalic acid, which is easy to form calcium oxalate stones when combined with calcium in other foods. This is also one of the reasons why many women who like vegetarianism are prone to lithiasis. At the same time, vegetarians often have insufficient intake of vitamin A and vitamin E. The lack of these two vitamins makes gallbladder epithelial cells easy to fall off, leading to cholesterol deposition and easy to form stones.
In addition, a complete vegetarian diet will lead to an imbalance in the proportion of food ingredients, resulting in insufficient intake of protein in animals. Even if plant proteins such as beans are supplemented, their absorption and utilization rate is far less than that of animal proteins. When protein, a vegan, doesn't eat enough, protein, carbohydrate and fat in his body will be out of balance, which will lead to decreased immunity, anemia and indigestion. The relevant departments conducted a special nutritional survey on some "monks", and the analysis results showed that they were basically malnourished to varying degrees, with weak immune function and easy to suffer from various infectious diseases.
For today's high-pressure white-collar workers, an occasional vegetarian diet can be used as a relief, but a long-term vegetarian diet is not the best policy.
