Vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Eating proper amount of vegetables can promote intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, provide micronutrients needed by human body, exert its antioxidant effect and ensure the normal function of various organs of human body. But taking too many people is also harmful. Specific hazards include:
1. Obstructs the absorption of calcium and zinc in the body.
Eating a lot of vegetables will hinder the absorption of calcium and zinc in the body, and middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to avoid iron deficiency anemia and calcium deficiency caused by excessive vegetarianism.
2. It leads to malnutrition in protein.
If you eat a lot of vegetables, reduce or fast meat and fish in order to "diet" and "feel full", it will also affect the intake and absorption of fatty acids and high-quality protein, resulting in malnutrition.
3. It is easy to form stones
Some vegetables contain more oxalic acid, which is easy to form calcium oxalate stones when combined with calcium in other foods, such as spinach, celery and tomatoes, which is one of the reasons why many women who like vegetarianism are prone to lithiasis.
