This is because, in the process of metabolism, most of our tissues need some high-quality protein to participate. Being a vegetarian for a long time means that protein will have insufficient intake. Although cereal food also contains a small amount of protein, compared with animal protein, its absorption is not so smooth. Therefore, some experts will argue that we should eat a variety of foods and strive for more beneficial ingredients to be absorbed and utilized by our bodies.
Some people are vegetarian for a long time and only pay attention to the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Some people don't even eat eggs, drink milk or touch anything with protein. It is said that eating coarse grains is good, but I hate eating every meal and I don't know how to control it. In the long run, my metabolism will be affected, so how about health?
Let's take people who lose weight as an example. Some people will find that when they lose weight, they will lose a lot of hair and have a series of uncomfortable feelings such as being afraid of cold and flustered. On the one hand, excessive intake of cold foods such as fruits and vegetables weakens the function of the spleen and stomach and affects absorption; On the other hand, due to insufficient intake of protein, body tissues can't normally participate in cell growth and surround the body balance, so there are various manifestations of body self-help. As mentioned above, symptoms such as hair loss.
Old people are vegetarians for the same reason as people who lose weight. They are seriously short of high-quality protein. They seem to have normal weight, but they are full of hidden dangers. For example, those neglected phenomena such as hypotension, anemia, inexplicable fatigue, weakness and so on.
Since I systematically studied the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, I have been reminding my family that when it comes to eating, don't settle for it. It is necessary to develop a good habit of diversifying your diet, and don't eat it from time to time. What do you mean, eat according to the season, such as winter, and don't eat those out-of-season foods. Modern society has greatly enriched our material life, but at the same time we have encountered a difficult problem, that is, how to avoid artificial acclimatization.
How to eat correctly does not seem to be a problem, but some people stumble on their diet and are willful when they have money, thinking that they can eat casually as long as they can afford it, and they will not consider the actual impact on their health.
People who have lived on land for a long time have learned to eat a lot of seafood when they fly to the seaside. A few days later, they went home, either uncomfortable here or there. In short, they put an artificial burden on their bodies.
Old people must learn to be responsible for themselves, eat slowly, eat less and eat more, try to wait until the food is warm, drink clean water, eat fresh food, keep cheerful when eating, and don't quarrel with others at the dinner table. This will form habits, lead to the law of life, and people's health will get better and better.
At this point, let's go back to the last question. Long-term vegetarianism will make the elderly weaker and weaker, and their resistance to the outside world will also decrease. There are signs of trouble, from a cold to a serious illness.
So eating well is a big problem, which must attract our attention.
