Food can easily arouse the desire of countless people. The plan to lose weight even failed.
Roasted goose, milk barrel meat, braised mutton ... all kinds of delicious food are dazzling, which makes people sigh: It's good to be born in China.
But if someone told you that you would never eat these foods again, how would you react?
Recently, in Everyday Up, Cecilia Cheung, who revealed her love of cooking for her children, once again talked about the problem of not eating meat.
Because I was born a vegetarian, I was even beaten by my parents.
This is not the first time she has put forward such an argument.
Two years ago, on a food program, when asked when the last time I ate meat, I gave a similar answer.
Although the face is fast.
There is no dispute between people. What I want to say today is, is vegetarianism really good for your health?

mankind
A natural omnivore.
In daily life, some people live on vegetarianism all the year round.
For various reasons, no matter how delicious the chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep on the dining table are, they can't move chopsticks, don't touch meat and abstain from all animal food.
Some are more tolerant of themselves, allowing themselves to eat eggs or milk, and some will give themselves a "no-meat diet" periodically;
Others are more strict, such as eating only fruit, or eating only uncooked raw vegetarian food, and so on.
They are collectively called "vegetarians".
Undeniably, moderate intake of fruits and vegetables is indeed necessary and beneficial to health.
But if you are a vegetarian for a long time, you will face many health problems.
After all, human beings are not suitable for vegetarianism.
Vegetarians have always insisted that "human beings were herbivores at first, and then began to eat meat" is untenable in itself.
Supporters of this view point out many similarities between human beings and herbivores as evidence to prove that herbivores are the original appearance of human beings.
In fact, if you carefully observe the digestive system of herbivores, you will find that they are very different from human digestive system.
Herbivores generally have more than three stomachs, and the shape of each stomach is very different.
Grass contains a lot of cellulose, and herbivores digest it through the division of labor of these stomachs.
The human digestive system is not enough to support.
Tripe with different shapes is a common hot pot.
Even if cellulose can be digested and utilized, herbivores generally consume a lot of time to eat a lot of grass to meet the energy needed every day because the calories of grass plants are extremely low.
What's more, people's stomachs can't digest cellulose at all, and how much they eat is discharged as it is.
If you are a vegetarian, the amount of vegetables a person needs every day is estimated to be a mountain.
Take spinach, known as the king of vegetables, as an example. It is rich in nutrition, and even Popeye will become very powerful after eating it.
So what are the nutrients of spinach?
It can be seen that every 100g spinach contains about 2.9g of protein and 23 calories.
Adult women need to consume 1800 ~ 1900 calories every day, and men need more.
Therefore, if a woman only eats spinach, she needs to swallow at least 15.6 A Jin days to meet the demand.
Even if you can eat, it is a heavy burden on the digestive system.
There are also eight essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by human body, which are difficult to obtain only by vegetarian diet. Without these amino acids, immune function and muscle, skin and hair will be damaged.
In addition, the lack of various nutrients will also pose a threat to the health of vegetarians.
Meng Jixian, a nutritionist in China, pointed out that "if people only eat plant food in their diet, it will change the composition of urine and make them more susceptible to kidney calculi".
A domestic study shows that there are four kinds of nutrients that are most deficient in vegetarian population:
First, iron, fasting animal food will affect the absorption of iron by plants; ? Second, vitamin B12; Third, calcium, calcium deficiency is not conducive to bone health; Fourth, zinc, zinc deficiency will affect immune function and sexual desire.
Another study on vegetarian pregnant women and lactating mothers shows that vegetarians are prone to the following common diseases: first, osteomalacia; Second, nutritional anemia; The third is malnutrition edema.
Therefore, vegetarianism is not only risky to your own health, but also affects the health of the next generation.
Humans are not born to "eat grass".

Since it's not that magical,
Why is vegetarianism so popular?
According to statistics, the vegetarian population in China has exceeded 50 million, and it is still growing, as are many countries in the world.
Vegetarianism has become an irresistible trend sweeping the world.
As for why you are a vegetarian, everyone's reasons must be varied.
Some people abstain from meat because of their beliefs; Some people are vegetarian in order to reduce the carbon emissions of the earth; There is also the taste of vegetarian food, and I hate the taste of meat.
However, this group of people is still a minority, which is not enough to set off this huge vegetarian movement.
Nowadays, vegetarianism can have so many loyal fans, first of all, it is inseparable from its many health care "effects".
Many vegetarians, in order to attract more people to be vegetarian, publicize the magical effect of vegetarianism through various media;
Some health care products merchants also found the potential business opportunities of vegetarianism and talked about the benefits of vegetarianism.
Their logic is exactly the same as the "acid-base physique theory" of that year.
For example, the five elements vegetable soup of the fire that year.
Exaggerated publicity has caused many families of cancer patients to bring meals to patients, delaying treatment and delaying their illness.
The scam of Five Elements Vegetable Soup is actually an absurd version, an extreme version and an enhanced version of the "Vegetarian Beneficial Theory".
Most vegetarians believe that vegetarianism has anti-cancer effect, and meat is a terrible carcinogen. Especially processed meat products.
But it ignores the premise that red meat may cause cancer: long-term large intake.
In other words, it is ok to eat some "white meat" such as chicken and fish instead of eating processed meat or eating red meat in moderation.
Secondly, not wanting to kill and protect animals is also the reason why some people are vegetarian.
A netizen once said: "Every time I see meat, I seem to see these animals crying. We should not deprive them of their right to live for their own appetite. "
Yang Changjun, a domestic ecologist, once had an incisive comment on this: the ecosystem is a whole, and ecological ethics should not only care about the value of animals, but also the value of plants and other lower organisms.
Unless you don't eat, you will "kill" with your mouth open.
In addition, there is another reason why more and more young people are vegetarian: image management.
"Fat enters from the mouth", and then recite the heat meter, then the conclusion is that eating meat is the chief culprit of obesity.
Rough conclusions actually ignore the laws of the human body. Excess carbohydrates will be converted into fat by the liver and stored in the body, while the carbohydrate content of lean meat is extremely low.
Therefore, eating healthy cooked lean meat helps to lose weight.
Furthermore, if a person tells you that ta is a vegetarian, then you may naturally feel that ta has high self-control and good heart.
In cultural customs, vegetarianism is often associated with "bodhisattva's heart", "compassion for all beings" and "compassion in the bosom".
Therefore, in order to create a better personal image and improve the style, there are also many people who have started to be vegetarian. Even though she may not like it.
I want to sell a better personal design.

Avoid going to extremes in diet.
Scientific collocation is king.
A healthy diet is not that complicated. Four words can be summed up: balance is the most important.
The Dietary Guide for China Residents suggests that it is best for each person to consume 300-500 grams of vegetables and 200-400 grams of fruits every day.
But at the same time, we should also ensure that we consume 125-225 grams of animal food every day, including fish, shrimp, meat, eggs and 300 grams of milk.
It can be seen that "eating meat in chunks" and "vegetarian food" are not the best ways to eat.
There is no perfect food in the world. Only when different kinds of food complement each other can we achieve the best effect on health.
Fan Zhihong, a nutritionist at China Agricultural University, suggested that it is best to ensure one meat and three vegetables in a meal. There should be no more meat, but there should be no meat.
At this point, Zhijiang remembered the takeaway at noon. it's a long story ...
What should people who stay up late eat to replenish energy and maintain health?
