Eating vegetarian food helps to supplement plant protein, but the lack of animal protein can easily unbalance the proportion of carbohydrate, protein and fat in human body, thus causing symptoms such as emaciation and memory loss.

On the one hand, the rich dietary fiber in vegetarian food can promote gastrointestinal digestion; On the other hand, dietary fiber has a laxative effect, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce the time for intestinal residues to pass through the intestine. However, excessive dietary fiber will accelerate the discharge of mineral nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract, and long-term vegetarian diet will easily lead to mineral loss.

It is easy to get tired. Eating vegetarian food for a long time can easily lead to the lack of nutrients such as iron and zinc in the body.
