The benefits of vegetarianism are well known, but an incorrect diet is equally harmful. For example, eating processed products with too many processing procedures not only has less nutrients, but also contains chemicals and pigments that will have an impact on the human body; Excessive use of grease in cooking will burden the human body. Therefore, when you are vegetarian, don't use too complicated cooking procedures and eat more fresh vegetables; Oil must be appropriate and raw materials should be selected (traditional tofu is better than boxed tofu, and sesame has lower sugar content and higher nutrition than sesame paste); Changing rice varieties frequently, eating brown rice occasionally, or adding grains and oats to rice are all good ways to balance nutrition.
Knowing the benefits of being a vegetarian, maybe your only worry is that you can't get the nutrition that only meat can have. In fact, as long as you can choose a variety of dishes when you are vegetarian, you can get enough nutrition without favoring several dishes. In addition, because the cell tissue of meat itself is close to the human body, the absorption capacity of the human body is better. Vegetarians need to master several principles in diet because they reduce the intake of meat:
* Whole wheat bread, germ bread and brown rice should be used instead of white rice and flour.
* Meat is high in protein, but beans such as soybeans, edamame and mung beans, or processed beans such as tofu and dried beans are also rich in protein, which can make up for the shortage of meat. Eating more beans does not worry about high cholesterol.
* Eat cashew nuts, almonds and other drupes, which are rich in oil and can supplement the calories needed by the human body.
* It is best to have four or five changes in green vegetables; The iron content in meat can be supplemented by eating more high-iron fruits such as tomatoes, kiwis and grapes.
* Don't cook with more oil to make vegetarian food more delicious. Only by mastering the principle of light vegetarian diet, less salt and less sugar can we meet the healthy orientation of vegetarian diet.
* Vegetarians are easy to lack vitamin b 12, which can be improved by taking more comprehensive vitamins. For a woman who loves beauty, it is not so easy to stay slim by being a vegetarian. If the cooking method is not correct, use too much oil, or try to choose some fried foods such as fried tofu skin or sweet foods such as mung bean cake. Although these foods are vegetarian, high oil and sugar make it difficult for you not to be fat.
If you are a vegetarian beginner, you may feel that you have eaten a lot at first, but you will soon be hungry. This is precisely because plants are easily absorbed by the stomach. Don't worry, stick to it, and you will deeply feel how good vegetarian food is for your health.
