The term "vegetarian" appeared in the middle of19th century, but this concept can be traced back at least to the 6th century before the park.

Vegetarianism is a kind of food culture, and people who practice this food culture are called vegetarians.

In recent years, the number of vegetarians has gradually increased. Unlike before, many people like to go to vegetarian restaurants because they no longer pursue the taste of big fish and big meat. The pursuit is to eat healthily. I think vegetarian food is much safer than meat.

Nowadays, many "vegetarian" friends think that vegetarianism can reduce the risk of illness, and this diet is natural and healthy. I think that only those who have big fish and big meat will get hypertension, but you may not know that long-term vegetarianism may also induce hypertension.

Because even if a person can firmly only eat vegetarian food and not meat food, it is necessary to use oil and salt when cooking food, and the intake of oil and salt is an important influencing factor for obesity and chronic diseases of grade three and four in our country. Once it is consumed too much, it will easily lead to the occurrence of chronic diseases of grade three and four.

For example, "steamed bread", in the process of making steamed bread, you need to use little soda or soda ash, and the ingredients are sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. Therefore, the sodium content of a steamed bread is equivalent to 0.8 g to 1 g of salt, and eating 6 steamed buns every day will reach 6 g of salt per day, and with pickles, the salt intake has been excessive.

Studies have shown that long-term vegetarian diet for women will unbalance the proportion of carbohydrates, protein and fat, resulting in indigestion, memory loss, decreased immunity, endocrine and metabolic dysfunction, and anemia and tumors are easy to occur.

In addition, eating vegetarian food for a long time will also cause the reduction of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, reduce the taste, and lead to loss of appetite; Peroxides produced by unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil combine with human protein to form lipofuscin, which accelerates cell aging. Therefore, it is not a very good thing to be vegan, and vegetarians should also prevent the occurrence of hypertension. It is best to combine meat and vegetables, not too extreme, and it is correct to supplement nutrition with a reasonable diet.

It can be seen that the prevention and treatment of "three highs" is not as simple as a vegetarian. Vegetarians should pay attention to a reasonable diet and balance the nutrients needed by the human body when preventing chronic diseases. In addition, continuous exercise and emotional adjustment are needed to work together.
