1, reducing cholesterol content. Vegetarians always have less cholesterol in their blood than meat eaters. If there is too much cholesterol in the blood, it will often cause blood vessel obstruction.
2, reduce the risk of cancer. Studies have pointed out that meat is closely related to colon cancer.
3, there are no parasites and the like. Several parasites are transmitted to humans through infected meat.
4. Reduce the burden on the kidneys. Once the meat eaten by meat eaters contains animal blood, the burden on the kidneys becomes heavier.
Disadvantages:
1, lack of trace elements: zinc, calcium, iron and other essential trace elements mainly come from meat. Zinc mainly comes from animal foods, 80% of calcium in the diet comes from milk, and 80% of iron comes from meat and eggs. Long-term vegetarians are easy to lack trace elements.
2. Insufficient intake of protein: Long-term lack of protein has a great impact on the body's disease resistance, which will unbalance the ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat, thus causing emaciation and indigestion.
3, prone to stones: vegetarian food contains more plant fiber, which can reduce the absorption rate of cholic acid and the concentration of bile salts.
