A vegetarian doesn't eat meat all his life, only vegetables, fruits and milk eggs. Is he healthy?
There is a special group among modern people, which we call "vegetarians". That is, people who don't eat meat, fish, poultry and their by-products as a way of eating. Of course, everyone is vegetarian for different reasons. Some people like vegetarian food to be refreshing and not greasy, some people like to lose weight or keep fit, and some people like religious beliefs. Is this diet really healthy?

In fact, not all vegetarians only eat vegetables and fruits. There are "vegan" and "egg white". "Vegans" don't eat animal foods and related foods at all; As the name implies, people who are "egg milk vegetarian" eat eggs and milk food in addition to being vegetarian. According to time, it can also be divided into long-term vegetarians and staged vegetarians. Long-term vegetarians are vegetarians at every meal of the year; Staged vegetarians choose to be vegetarian at a certain time and have a diversified diet at the rest of the time.

Because the human body needs many complex nutrients, and these nutrients are not available in many plants. Therefore, when the vegetarian diet is unscientific, it will lead to the lack of protein, vitamin B 12, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, iron, zinc and other nutrients, which may cause serious harm.

1, which may lead to muscle decomposition and damage important organs such as kidney and heart;

2, the muscle content is reduced, resulting in slower metabolism and easier to gain weight;

3, vegetarian food contains more sugar and fiber, and excessive intake is not good for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal tract;

4, leading to abnormal hormone secretion, affecting women's fertility.

It can be seen that in the long run, only eating vegetarian food can not bring us good health. However, staged vegetarianism is a good choice, plus a reasonable diet, such as adding eggs and milk in moderation during vegetarianism; Eat more beans and dark vegetables; Eat more nuts and other foods to balance your body. This not only achieves the goal of vegetarianism, but also reduces the burden of daily diet on the body, which is beneficial and harmless.
