How to be the healthiest vegetarian?
In fact, the nutrition problem that vegetarians need to pay attention to is very simple: pay attention to the intake of vitamin B 12. Vitamin B 12 does not exist in ordinary vegetables and fruits, but is rich in deep-sea plants: laver, kelp and seaweed. If you don't quit milk, drinking milk is also a way to supplement vitamin B 12.

As for other nutrients, such as protein, fat, various minerals and vitamins, as long as fruits and vegetables are matched, there is no problem.

Protein:

Bean products are one of the most important sources of vegetarianism in protein. Soybean can be made into tofu, dried bean curd, bean skin, bean branches, tofu, fermented soybean and soybean milk. Usually, the methionine content in soybean is a little insufficient, but if you eat enough soybean food, the total protein will be more, and the intake of methionine will exceed your personal needs. On the other hand, soybean protein contains a lot of amino acids, which can also supplement the shortage of amino acids in general cereal (rice, flour, corn) proteins.

Soybean contains as much as 40% protein, and its physiological value is almost close to that of meat, so it enjoys the reputation of "vegetable meat". The fat in soybean has a positive effect on human growth and nerve activity. In addition, soybean also contains more minerals, trace elements and vitamins. Nutritionists have found that soybean can improve its nutritional and health care value if it is eaten with other food science. The following briefly introduces two kinds:

First, soybeans and corn are mixed together.

Mixing 25% soybean with 75% corn, grinding into powder, cooking porridge or making various copies, the biological value can be improved to about 76%, almost comparable to beef.

Soybean is rich in protein, vegetable fat and iron. Corn is not only rich in protein, but also rich in minerals such as magnesium and calcium. It is also rich in vitamin E and carotene, which is extremely beneficial to human health. More interestingly, corn is the easiest to enrich selenium in soil, and the anti-cancer effect of trace element selenium has long been proved. It can be seen that soybean and corn are mixed with rich and comprehensive nutrition. In addition, both soybean and corn contain more cellulose, which can strengthen the peristalsis of intestinal wall after eating and prevent colorectal cancer.

Second, kelp tofu

Tofu and kelp are very popular in Japan. They think it is a panacea for "immortality". Soybeans used to make tofu contain a substance called saponin, which can prevent the production of lipid peroxide which is easy to cause arteriosclerosis, inhibit the absorption of fat and promote the decomposition of fat. Soybean also contains lecithin and linoleic acid, vitamin B 1, vitamin E and minerals such as iron and calcium. However, saponin can promote the excretion of iodine, and people are prone to hyperthyroidism due to iodine deficiency. Eating kelp can solve this problem, so scientists say tofu and kelp are perfect dishes.

Rice, wheat, flour and corn lack lysine, while beans mainly lack methionine. If eaten together, it can supplement the missing amino acids and improve the nutritional value. You can eat some traditional China foods, such as eight-treasure porridge and mung bean rice.

In fact, vegetarians usually achieve the complementary effects of various foods and protein, regardless of whether they carefully use the complementary effects of protein. When we eat rice, beans, soybean milk and fried dough sticks, we unconsciously meet the complementary functions of protein and form a complete protein. Milk, cheese and protein are excellent sources of protein.

Fat:

Food source: soybean milk, walnut pulp, almond dew, coconut milk, walnut kernel, sesame, almond, peanut, walnut and olive oil.

Example:

I once met an Australian vegetarian whose family has been vegetarian since her grandmother. She is a singer, beautiful and in great shape. She is a strict vegetarian. In our communication, she suggested using plant milk to supplement fat and protein, which is very healthy and effective. In fact, we don't have to supplement similar nutrition by processing food. Various additives are bad for our health!
