What are the effects of long term vegetarianism on the body?

1. Cause a lack of high-quality protein in the human body.

Among the 20 kinds of amino acids that make up natural proteins, 8 kinds of amino acids cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from food, which are called essential amino acids, which are essential components for maintaining life metabolism and growth and development.

2. The probability of hyperglycemia is higher.

Because they can't get energy from meat in protein and fat**, vegetarians can only supplement it from rice, pasta and other foods, which often leads to excessive carbohydrate intake, leading to a high blood sugar risk.

3. Cause micronutrient deficiency.

Micronutrients, or minerals and vitamins, are nutrients that the body needs less, but are necessary for survival, growth, physical activity, and health.

Eating vegetarian food regularly has certain harm to the health of the body, first of all, it will lead to malnutrition, because the vegetarian diet contains less high-quality protein, can not meet the needs of the human body, so it will lead to malnutrition, but also will lead to a decrease in the body's resistance. Eating a vegetarian diet is also not conducive to bone development, because there are fewer fat-soluble vitamins in a vegetarian diet, which will affect the absorption and utilization of calcium, so it is easy to lead to calcium deficiency, which is not conducive to bone development, and there is also the possibility of gallstones. Therefore, we should pay attention to a balanced diet, not only eat vegetarian food, but also eat some meat, eggs, fish and other foods rich in high-quality protein.

1. Poor resistance: long-term vegetarianism can easily cause insufficient intake of high-quality protein and fat, as well as trace elements such as calcium, iron and vitamin B, and lack of trace elements, which will lead to nutritional imbalance, which in turn will lead to decreased resistance;

2. Osteoporosis: long-term consumption of vegetarian food, insufficient calcium intake, which is prone to osteoporosis and fractures;

3. Lack of vitamins: Eating a vegetarian diet will lead to a lack of vitamins in the body, and it is easy to get night blindness, rickets and other diseases.

If you choose a vegetarian diet to ensure balanced nutrition and supplement protein intake, eggs and milk can still be consumed normally. Soybeans and soy products are important high-quality proteins** for vegetarians, and it's best to choose fermented soy products as a balanced diet can promote health.

Long-term vegetarian diet is good for the body:

Vegetarianism can reduce human dependence on meat, and most carnivores need a lot of food for the growth of **, especially animal husbandry, which has a serious impact on the environment, so a vegetarian diet may protect the natural environment and wildlife to a certain extent.

Purifying the mind, getting rid of meat, reducing the killing of animals to a certain extent, making people feel that the meaning of other animals is no different from people, making our hearts more calm and less guilty.

Long-term vegetarianism on the body:

Chronic nutritional imbalance in vegetarian diets. The six major nutrients that maintain human health are protein, fat, sugar, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, each of which is important to the body and is indispensable.

Long-term non-exposure to meat will make some nutrients required by the human body not be replenished in time, so that some organs in the human body will be damaged.

Guidance: Vegetarians should often eat eggs, fish, meat, milk, yellow fungus, mushrooms, kelp and all kinds of fruits, and add a little light broth when cooking.
