We take coronary heart disease as an example. There are many reasons that can induce coronary heart disease, such as genetic factors, which are difficult to avoid effectively. In addition, age, working and living environment and other factors are also factors that cause coronary heart disease. If we simply think that vegetarianism can avoid coronary heart disease, it cannot be completely avoided.
From the perspective of modern medicine, it is believed that light diet and avoiding high-calorie diet can really reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. However, a scientific study proves that if you use too much force to fully implement the attention of vegetarians, too low fat intake may be counterproductive.
Because, if our daily diet is too light, it will affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as VA, VD, VE, VK and other trace elements, leading to the lack of these nutrients, which will lead to the continuous development and changes of our health functions. In addition, animal foods contain vitamin B 12, which is a nutrient lacking in plant foods. Therefore, although the cholesterol level of vegetarians is relatively low, if they don't eat dairy products, eggs or fish, they will lack B 12, which will increase cysteine in the blood and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Under normal circumstances, the lower the level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in blood, the better, and the higher the HDL cholesterol, the better. Although the cholesterol level of vegetarians is low, the survey found that vegan diet will lead to the decrease of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in blood, which is very harmful to cardiovascular health.
Maintain a balanced diet: Generally speaking, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need to control their mouths in their daily lives. The diet must be light, balanced and moderate, and some animal fat and protein should be taken in due course. It is easy to choose coarse grains as the staple food, so as to improve the food output of crude fiber to prevent the adverse effects on heart activity, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate intake of vitamins and trace metal elements. Eating more soy products is beneficial to the discharge of cholic acid and the method of reducing cholesterol synthesis. You can also eat more fish, because fish can reduce cholesterol and blood viscosity in patients' blood. If you insist on doing this, it may be helpful to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
