Recently, I watched the program "A One-Day Tour with Big Coffee in Luyu" with Andy Lau, and I was deeply impressed.

Andy Lau and Lu Yu come to a cafeteria together. All the food in this shop is vegetarian.

There are some dishes that look like meat, but they are also vegetarian.

Andy Lau said that he often brought his employees to this store, so he chose this place because he didn't want to eat meat.

Lu Yu asked Andy Lau, do you need an aunt to be a vegetarian to hire a nanny?

Andy Lau nodded.

In the process of eating and chatting, Lu Yu asked Andy Lau how many years he had been a vegetarian.

Andy Lau said six years.

He also said that his wife is a vegetarian and so are his children. It was strange for him to eat meat alone, so he quit.

And my wife has been a vegetarian for 15 years.

Lu Yu asked curiously, "The doctor won't say that you can't keep up with vegetarian nutrition after giving birth to a baby, right?"

Without thinking, Andy Lau replied, "Yes, she does. I think this is a question of faith. " Then he paused and said, "It will put pressure on the people next to him."

If you haven't seen this program, you may never think that the Tianwang family has been vegetarian for so many years.

And they don't consider the problem that nutrition can't keep up, because they believe in the benefits of vegetarianism.

The reason why most vegetarians believe in vegetarianism is that vegetarianism is less greasy, and the intake of phytochemicals such as dietary fiber and vitamins can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, promote health and avoid getting fat.

More importantly, there can be less killing.

Why not do it?

But is vegan really good?

Virpi Mikkonen, an online celebrity, is a vegetarian woman from Finland and a famous food blogger on Ins. She advocates vegetarianism and has written four cookbooks, including vegetarian substitutes for ice cream, pizza and cake.

Her vegetarian pizza is like this:

But because of her perennial vegetarian habit, her body has quietly changed. ...

At the beginning of last year, Virpi had a rash on his face.

Other problems followed: the flu, nails that were about to fall off, and menopause. ...

Blood tests show that her follicle-stimulating hormone level has soared to the level of female menopause.

You know, Virpi was only 37 years old at that time!

Virpi was so frightened that he turned to an expert of traditional Chinese medicine for help. The expert told her: You must start eating meat!

Virpi was stunned at that time, because she hadn't eaten meat for almost 15 years!

But in order to restore health, Virpi gradually began to eat meat products.

After eating meat, Virpi said that she not only felt more energetic, but also had her period back.

Similarly, online celebrity Bonny Rebecca, a Youtube vegetarian with 360,000 fans, released a video earlier this year entitled "Why I am no longer a vegetarian".

Because she has been a vegetarian for five years, she and her boyfriend began to have a disorder of gallbladder flora and a rash.

I switched to a different vegetarian diet, took antibiotics for half a year, and began to eat meat.

Results The condition of skin and gallbladder gradually improved.

I once saw a news.

A lady has been a vegetarian for 30 years in order to lose weight better.

But when she walks, she feels one foot deep and one foot shallow, like stepping on cotton, and her hands and feet are numb.

When she went to the hospital for examination, the doctor found that her spinal cord and peripheral nerves were damaged to varying degrees.

It is because of not eating meat that vitamin B 12 is lacking. If it continues to develop, it may eventually lead to paralysis in bed and even muscle atrophy.

Not only adults who are vegetarian can cause health problems, but also children.

Sydney Children's Hospital admitted a severely malnourished baby girl, 19 months old, weighing only 4.9 kg, because her parents only fed her a vegan diet.

Think about Mark Hyman, Clinton's personal doctor. He has been on the best-seller list in The New York Times for 10 times, and he is an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator and advocate in the field of nutrition.

When he studied medicine, the knowledge in the book told him that fat is unhealthy and low-fat vegetarian food is healthy. Later, he found many problems, his health became worse and worse, and he was addicted to sugar.

Later, he began to study deeply, and finally found himself wrong, all wet.

He wrote on his blog:

I am 58 years old now. When I was a vegetarian, I was skinny and had no muscles because I didn't dare to eat meat.

Now, I eat more fat, less starch and more meat (protein). I exercise less, but I have a lot more muscles now than when I was 20 years old.

He said: Vegetarians who don't eat meat and fat are really unhealthy.

After becoming Clinton's personal doctor, the first health advice to President Clinton was to ask Clinton to stop being a vegetarian.

Do you think these organizations or individuals who advocate vegetarianism really never eat meat?

Rawvana, a blogger of online celebrities in California, USA, vigorously promotes the lifestyle of "clean therapy", claiming that eating only raw food and paste can detoxify and beautify.

So fans began to buy her 2 1 day vegetarian courses.

As a result, this course has just been online for two months, and Rawvana was met by fans on vacation in Bali, and was found eating a fish by netizens.

Rawvana quickly sent a half-hour clarification video, saying that she was actually eating meat to "cure the disease".

He also said that he had been completely vegetarian for six years.

Don't eat meat, eggs and dairy products, don't eat food with a heating temperature exceeding 47 degrees Celsius, and even tried to "detoxify" without eating or drinking water for 25 days on 20 14.

But as a result, she didn't menstruate at the age of 24.

When I went to the hospital, all the indicators were extremely scary. Only in her twenties, her hormones have been seriously out of balance, reaching the level of "quasi-menopause".

So at the doctor's suggestion, Rawvana began to eat fat and heated food, and it took two months for her period to return to normal.

Rawvana saw her body gradually return to normal and returned to vegetarianism.

One year later, menstruation stopped, and bacterial infections began to appear in the stomach, intestines and lower body.

Rawvana is really determined to give up vegetarianism and start eating meat.

In the clarification video, she explained that she had just eaten eggs and fish for two months.

But fans don't buy it. After all, she has continued to promote how good vegetarianism is in the last two months. Isn't it obvious that the blogger is promoting her course?

The Masbaolan Institute in Munich, Germany, has done relevant experiments, and the conclusion is that women will stop ovulation after long-term vegetarianism, which is related to the low content of protein in the food they eat, which leads to abnormal hormone secretion and menstrual cycle disorder. So she concluded that vegetarianism will lead to abnormal reproductive function and even seriously affect reproductive ability.

So what nutrition does a vegan lack?

0 1 vitamin B 12

Vitamin B 12 only exists in animal foods such as meat, eggs, dairy products, and almost none in plant foods.

02 vitamin AD

There is a lack of vitamin AD in vegan diet, and vitamin D mostly exists in fatty marine fish, animal liver, egg yolk, cream and so on. And cod liver oil is the most abundant. They are essential for hormone balance, strong bones and good mental health.

Trace elements zinc and iron

Like iron, zinc exists in some plants, but its absorption and utilization rate is much lower than that of meat and seafood. Zinc is very important for immune system and intestinal protection. Iron deficiency is easy to cause anemia, and meat is the best source of trace element iron.

The documentary "Looking for the Perfect Diet for Human Beings" mentioned that although human beings have gradually become omnivores, eating vegetarian food alone will not threaten their survival. However, scientific facts have proved that human digestive system is more similar to carnivores.

Because most plants have too few calories and nutrients, herbivores need to keep eating, so animals like cattle and sheep have several stomachs. They can also ruminate, chew and digest for many times, so as to better absorb the nutrients in the grass.

People's digestive tract is simpler, similar to the digestive system of many carnivores, such as lions. It is more suitable for eating animal fat and protein, and it is not necessary to keep eating.

At the end of the documentary, there is a sentence: in the evolutionary history of millions of years, human beings have been eating wild animals and green plants for 95% of the time. This is the foundation of our existence.

According to the recommendation of dietary guideline 20 16 for China residents, each person should consume 40-75g of meat every day. Pregnant women, teenagers or patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia should be increased as appropriate.

I remember that Beyonce and his wife invited fans to have a "22-day vegetarian challenge", and at the beginning of this year, they also encouraged fans to be vegetarian in order to get lifetime tickets for the couple's concert.

However, their personal trainer told the new york Times that the couple were not completely vegetarian.

Beyonce eats vegetarian breakfast every day and doesn't eat meat on Mondays every week. Her husband eats vegetarian food twice a day.

Let's go back to our family in Andy Lau. We only see that the stars are vegetarians, but forget that there is a professional nutrition team behind them, with all kinds of "complementary food" to cooperate. There are various other ways to supplement the necessary nutrition and tailor a balanced diet for them.

However, many vegetarians simply don't know how to keep a balanced diet, and simply think that vegetarianism just means that I don't touch meat and high-fat foods.

As everyone knows, the wrong diet structure is likely to destroy the structural balance of the body and lead to endocrine disorders.

Remember, it is not easy to keep a balanced diet. Otherwise, what is a nutritionist?

What kind of food you need to choose, how to mix it, how to eat it scientifically and so on. These are all studies!

Ordinary people still don't "go against the sky" and blindly imitate star vegetarianism.

It may bring us a healthy red light.
