First, it is cosmetic. If you eat alkaline vegetable fruits and vegetables for a long time, the lactic acid in your blood will be greatly reduced, which will naturally not cause harmful substances to damage your skin health. At the same time, minerals and fibers in vegetable foods can also remove harmful substances from your blood. The purified blood can play a full role and deliver enough nutrients and oxygen during metabolism, making all organs of your body full of vitality and your skin naturally healthy and shiny.
second: compared with the general population, people who are vegetarian (vegetarian food) have lower blood fat content, less heart disease and cancer (cancer food), and are less likely to be overweight. This is because they consume higher cellulose (cellulose food) in their diet, and lifestyle factors are also included. Vegetarians are more aware of health (healthy food) and do not smoke. Many of them do not drink alcohol or coffee.
Third, because plant food does not contain harmful substances that pose a threat to cardiovascular system, vegetarian diet can reduce the occurrence of vascular diseases.
fourthly, vegetarianism can reduce the incidence of cancer, especially rectal cancer and colon cancer. This is because the food contains a lot of cellulose, which can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, facilitate defecation, make harmful substances in feces discharged in time, and reduce the damage of harmful substances to intestinal wall.
Fifth, vegetarianism can reduce the kidney load: vegetarianism can play a role in making the kidneys [rest] for patients with renal insufficiency: changing to vegetarianism for patients with renal diseases, plus the intake of dairy products, can not only reduce the burden on the kidneys, but also not reduce the intake of protein (protein food), killing two birds with one stone.
Sixth: Vegetarian diet is also good for preventing osteoporosis. As we all know, elderly people, especially postmenopausal women, advocate eating more foods containing calcium in order to prevent osteoporosis, and vitamin (vitamin food) C is beneficial to the absorption of calcium (calcium food). Many plant foods such as green vegetables (vegetable food), tomatoes and some melons and fruits contain vitamin C.
Seventh: In principle, vegetarianism generally refers to not eating animal protein. Because you don't eat meat, you can lower and regulate your cholesterol, and you won't get too high uric acid because of eating meat, which will increase the incidence of renal failure and kidney calculi. In addition, human constitution is alkaline, and eating too much meat will easily make the constitution acidic, which will increase the chance of getting sick. Vegetarianism will help to neutralize the acid and alkali of the constitution.
Long-term vegetarianism is harmful to health
Long-term vegetarianism, a relatively deficient diet structure, is likely to cause imbalance in human nutrient supply. Vegetarianism can be divided into total vegetarianism (that is, completely eating plant foods and their products) and lacto-egg vegetarianism (besides plant foods and their products, eggs and dairy products can also be selected). Comparatively speaking, the dietary nutrition of dairy-egg vegetarian diet is more comprehensive, while vegan diet is more likely to cause serious absence of some essential nutrients for the body.
Bile in human body is mainly produced by liver, and gallbladder is like a reservoir, which plays the role of storing concentrated bile. When people eat, especially after eating greasy food, food enters the stomach to stimulate gallbladder contraction, cause bile secretion and promote food digestion and absorption. Long-term vegetarian diet, cellulose-containing foods affect the secretion and concentration of bile, making bile accumulate in the gallbladder for a long time. It is easy to get stones, and there are more plant fibers in vegetarian food, which can reduce the absorption rate of cholic acid and the concentration of bile salts. 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, which leads to cholesterol deposition and stone formation.
Eating more plant foods means relatively more water-soluble vitamins and dietary fiber, and less saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, which will also bring some high-risk factors of nutrient deficiency: the intake of high-quality protein is reduced, the absorption rate of calcium in plant foods is low, and the interference of dietary fiber and phytic acid on nutrient absorption will easily lead to the lack of micronutrients such as vitamins and trace elements, such as calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and vitamins A, D and B12.
In addition, people with liver and kidney diseases are not suitable for vegetarianism, especially uremia patients. Vegetarianism will lead to excessive potassium intake, while the intake of high-quality protein is worrying.
