If the elderly think that vegetarianism is good, it is not good for their health. In fact, now the elderly tend to be vegetarian, because they think that eating vegetarian food can keep healthy and reduce the chance of getting sick. However, eating vegetarian food without meat for a long time may lead to an imbalance in the proportion of nutrients in the body and cause many diseases. And like the long-term vegetarian elderly, insufficient intake of lecithin in the body will lead to decreased liver function.

Moreover, we must have vitamins, trace elements and minerals in our bodies to maintain health. However, if you only eat vegetarian food, there is no extra protein in your body to supply your daily energy consumption, and if you lack vitamin A or vitamin E, the gallbladder epithelial cells will easily fall off and easily form cholesterol.

In fact, vegetarianism is healthy, but you must eat healthily. Because of this, we can keep the body's nutrition in a balanced state and will not lead to some nutritional deficiencies in the body. And like meat, it actually contains a lot of high-quality protein, heme iron and vitamin b 12 that our body needs, so we should pay attention to absorb nutrition as usual.

If the elderly absorb too little nutrition, it is easy to have malnutrition. Generally speaking, if you choose meat, you can eat some lean meat or poultry. Be careful not to eat fat, and at the same time control the amount on both sides, so as to stay healthy.
