What are the effects of not eating meat for a long time?

Human beings can obtain a variety of nutrients from meat food, if they do not eat for a long time, they may be malnourished, although they can eat other food supplements, such as vegetables and fruits, but the high-quality protein in meat is not found in other foods, or the content is very small. If the human body is unable to absorb high-quality protein or absorbs very little, various diseases will occur, such as decreased immune function, poor spirits, anemia and so on! The impact of children is greater, and the development is not good!

Many elderly people practice Buddha and eat fasting, and there will also be a decrease in body resistance, drowsiness and so on!

Studies have shown that not eating meat for a long time may increase the risk of depression. This may be related to some substances in the body that are involved in mood regulation, such as serotonin and dopamine, which are some important neurotransmitters. Meat is a food rich in protein and amino acids, which contains a large amount of amino acids such as tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, which can be converted into neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine in the human body.

Therefore, if you do not eat meat for a long time, the levels of these neurotransmitters in the human body may decrease, which can lead to mood instability, depression, and other conditions.

In addition, there are other behaviors that may also increase the risk of depression, such as lack of exercise, poor sleep habits, social isolation, social addiction**, and more. Therefore, in order to maintain mental health, we need to pay attention to maintaining a moderate amount of exercise, good sleep quality, active participation in social activities, and so on. At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain a reasonable diet, consume the appropriate amount of protein and amino acids, and maintain a balance between physical health and mental health.

Many people have mixed feelings about meat, love and hate, love its taste, hate that it can make us fat and sick, especially red meat and processed meat. So what are the effects of not eating this meat? Let's talk about the possible advantages and disadvantages.

Skipping processed and red meat can bring 8 benefits.

The reason why not eating meat for a long time increases the risk of depression is mainly because of a lack of intake of important nutrients. Meat is important for humans to get nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and more**. These nutrients are important for physical and mental health.

Vitamin B12, in particular, plays an important role in the normal functioning of the brain nervous system, so long-term vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to abnormalities in the brain nervous system, which increases the risk of depression.

In addition to not eating meat for a long time, there are other behaviors that can also increase the risk of depression. For example, long-term lack of exercise can lead to a build-up of physical and psychological stress, increasing the risk of depression; Long-term sleep deprivation can affect physical and mental health, especially mental health, and can easily lead to depression; Long-term lack of social interaction may increase the risk of depression; Certain medications may affect physical and mental health, leading to depression; Long-term emotional depression can lead to physical and mental health problems, including depression.

It is important to note that although the above behaviors have certain risks, not everyone will suffer from depression, because depression is a complex syndrome that is affected by many factors. In addition to the above behaviors, there are other factors that may increase the risk of depression, such as family environment, trauma, genetic factors, and so on.

Therefore, prevention and depression require a combination of factors and individualized intervention. At the same time, maintaining balanced nutrition, actively participating in sports, maintaining good social networks, maintaining good sleep quality and other behaviors are also effective measures to prevent and improve depression.
