Hello, what are the advantages of being a vegetarian? 1. Vegetarians consume less oil and are not easy to cause arteriosclerosis. For the elderly, it can reduce the trouble of high blood pressure. 2. Many studies have pointed out that fiber is one of the anti-cancer factors, and many people suffering from colorectal cancer and gastric cancer have a lot to do with eating less vegetables; Take the carotene contained in vegetables as an example. Carotene can be easily converted into vitamin A in human body, which can control cell division and help maintain the immune system. A sound immune system is the best "weapon" to fight cancer. 3. A low-fat, low-calorie diet makes vegetarians less likely to gain weight, but be careful not to cook with too much fat, or you will still consume calories! Vegetarians can reduce the loss of calcium, because they eat less protein, so they have higher bone density and are less prone to osteoporosis. In addition, it is not easy to get diabetes, low cholesterol and smooth defecation. These are the benefits of vegetarianism. What's wrong with being a vegetarian? 1. Vegetarianism will affect children's development. Many families let their children go vegetarian because their parents are vegetarian and can't provide enough nutrition for their growing children, so it is best not to let their children go vegetarian. 2. It is easy to lack vitamin D, which is difficult to get in food, especially there is almost no food containing vitamin D in vegetarian diet. Vegetarians are easy to keep calcium, but they are still short of calcium because they don't eat dairy products. In addition, due to dietary restrictions, vegetarians tend to lack essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc and vitamin B2. In short, is vegetarianism good or bad? This varies from person to person. Healthy people can rest assured that they are vegetarian, but people who are weak should consider whether the lack of nutrition caused by vegetarianism will do more harm to their bodies!
