How to become a correct vegetarian?
A vegetarian refers to a person who only eats vegetarian dishes and does not eat meat dishes. Vegetarianism is a kind of food culture, and people who practice this food culture are called vegetarians.

Eating vegetarian food has many benefits, because most vegetarian foods are low in calories, vitamins, fiber and fat, so eating vegetarian food can reduce weight, cholesterol, cancer risk and parasites in the body. ...

However, although vegetarianism has many advantages, there are also some noteworthy places and even many misunderstandings.

Myth 1: there is no reasonable supplement of compound nutrients.

In China, the food industry pays little attention to vegetarians, and nutritional fortification is not common. Therefore, it is best for vegetarians to supplement formula milk powder containing iron, zinc, vitamin B 12 and vitamin D in an appropriate amount to prevent possible nutritional imbalance.

Myth 2: Eat too much fruit.

Many vegetarians eat a lot of fruits besides three meals a day, but as the saying goes, "extremes meet." Do you know that this will not only make you thin, but also make you fat? Most fruits have high sugar content, so if you want to eat fruits, you should reduce your dinner intake accordingly.

Myth 3: Eating too much oil, sugar and salt.

Even vegetarians don't touch meat, but they add a lot of oil, sugar and salt to taste it. It is better to eat meat directly.

Myth 4: Eating vegetables raw can get more nutrition.

Some vegetarians are keen to eat vegetables raw in the form of salad, thinking that this can give full play to their nutritional value. In fact, vitamin K, carotene, lycopene and other elements in vegetables need to be supplemented with oil in order to be well absorbed by the human body. At the same time, it should also be noted that the fat content of salad dressing is as high as 60% or more, which is comparable to cooking with oil when used in cold salad.
