Health. Vegetarianism. Truth and fiction

Здоровье. Вегетарианство. Правда и вымыселOver 10% of the world population - vegetarians. For example, in India, they account for over 80% of the population in the UK - about 7%, and in the U.S. - about 5%. Precise data on Russia, unfortunately, no. However, in our country, vegetarianism known and quite popular. And many of us for some reason occasionally think: did I have to become a vegetarian?

In 1847 in England created the first Vegetarian Society in the United States today there are American Vegetarian Union and the American Vegetarian Society, similar organizations exist in many Western countries. In Russia in the late 19th century, a number of these companies worked, after the October Revolution of 1917, they were banned. Only in 1989, We have been created Vegetarian obschestvovo USSR, which in 1991 became known as the Russian. Often vegetarian societies operate in conjunction with the SPCA.

The word comes from the Latin vegetarianism - vegetabilis, which means "vegetable". Vegetarianism its origins goes back centuries, but widespread in European countries it received in the late nineteenth century. And for almost two centuries, people argue about the pros and cons of vegetarianism. Unfortunately, the knowledge of many people on this very superficial and not always correct. We leave aside the religious, philosophical, and social aspects of the phenomenon. Let's talk about how vegetarianism affects human health. Very often between "vegetarian" and "healthy lifestyle" in the minds of people is a sign of equality. In fact, the question of the exclusive benefits of vegetarianism is not so straightforward. * Obvious when considering
There are many definitions of vegetarianism. For example, in the Encyclopedic Dictionary Brockhaus and Efron says that advocates vegetarianism believe the only human food products plants. From the diet excludes all animal products: meat of livestock and poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs. But this is not quite true. * What about you? Millions of animals are killed every day? Yes, it's true.

Modern vegetarianism is divided into strict and non-strict. * Vegetarianism unusually lax. This is not a vegetarian. The truth is, one or lack of rigor ... true. True, but not quite ... a lie?

Vegans (vegantsy) eat only vegetarian food, even from the raw-foodists, denies cooking. Non-strict vegetarians allow the use of products of animal origin, other than meat animals. They are divided into laktovegetariantsev who consume milk and dairy products, and ovolaktovegetariantsev that except for milk and its products and eat more eggs. * Eggs are unhatched chicken embryos as fish eggs. Or is it too only "a bit" of the embryo?

Vegans today is not so much more common non-strict vegetarianism. And it is reasonable. After all, doctors say: If a man remains in your diet milk, dairy products and eggs, nothing wrong with his health will not happen. Moreover, many nutritionists consider such food (ovolaktovegetarianstvo) as wellness. If vegetarianism involves renunciation of these products (total vegetarian), doctors warn that this food can not be called healthy. The lack of animal protein to quickly affect the metabolism. * It is therefore necessary to use dairy products, and butter or ghee (clarified butter) or else - Lack of protein in the diet reduces the body's defenses, its ability to fight many diseases. Delayed growth, there are fatigue, weight loss, edema, diarrhea, anemia, severe disorders of the liver and pancreas.

About vegetarianism as a way of healthy life talking in the 17-18 centuries, at the dawn of the modern vegetarian movement. Now based on vegetarian diets have been many that are useful in certain diseases. Certainly, plant food promotes healing of the body, cleansing it from harmful toxins and fats, reduces the risk of heart disease and so on, but you need to realize that, as a vegetarian lifestyle is not for everyone. * What does not everyone? After all, many of the substances for human health, are found only in animal foods. A vegetarian meal is not always able to cover the needs of vitamins, trace elements, amino acids. * It is therefore necessary to obtain animal fat in dairy products, and not flesh slaughtered in a slaughterhouse poor animals. Moreover, certain groups of people vegetarianism is contraindicated because it may adversely affect their health. Especially careful in these matters should be pregnant women, children and adolescents. * No one feels bad vegetarianism be contraindicated. It must be balanced. Thousands of people feel a definite improvement of health, some held protracted illness, etc.

Women who have always eaten meat products during pregnancy is not recommended to sit on a vegetarian diet. * We recommend examining all at once, "Vegetarianism is what it is" - to eat right! In these cases, just a deficiency of the protein, because the body is used to getting his name from the meat. To rebuild the body usually takes about 6 months. If a woman - not strict vegetarian who eats eggs and dairy products, then they will serve as the main source of protein. * Protein in large amounts in grain legumes and dairy products. Should also be included in your daily diet soy products, nuts, dried fruit, sprouted grains and whole-grain bread. But some women adhere to a strict vegetarian and do not eat any animal products. * Fact - need milk - there is the necessary protein and animal fats. In this case, doctors insist on the pregnancy to make an exception and included in the diet at least dairy. * Thanks to doctors! Good advice!

Please note that women must tell your doctor about it vegetarian.

Sometimes during pregnancy, vegetarians there is a lack of vitamin B12, iron and calcium. This is especially true in the late winter and early spring, when even fresh fruits and vegetables are not so rich in vitamins. If necessary, the doctor will choose a special complex of vitamins and minerals. * Wow! However, vegetarians! Look for vitamins without animal components - they are few, but can be found.

Growing child and adolescent body animal proteins are vital.

At least three times a week, meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, etc., must be present in the diet of the child. After all, animal proteins - the basic building blocks of organs and tissues: muscle, bone, skin, blood cells, etc. In children, vegetarians often develop anemia due to lack of iron and B vitamins, which leads to lethargy, fatigue. It is only in meat and meat products containing iron, which is in contrast to the iron plant located in easily digestible form. Iron effect on blood formation, is involved in the formation of hemoglobin and some enzymes involved in respiration, in the reactions of immunity. Adolescent vegetarians may lag behind their peers in terms of intellectual development, endurance. Therefore, in no case should not be limited to low-calorie "green" power. * Who says that a low-calorie vegetable? We're watching a list of famous people vegetarians - including professional athletes! Nadozh explore calories. Vegetarianism is there not Markovka and cabbage! Thousands of wonderful dishes! Doctors warn that the source of the health of children and young people - not a diet, but a diverse and moderate diet.

It must be remembered that the metabolism and genetics of different nations differ significantly from each other. And also that the choice of vegetables and fruits in the Russian context is much more modest than in many other countries. Consequently, the same diet may not have the same consequences for all. Therefore, any adult person before becoming a vegetarian, you need to consult a doctor, and then carefully weigh all the "pros" and "cons." * The doctor advised unprofitable, if non-vegetarians - they do not give good advice. Find a doctor strict vegetarian - an unprecedented lack of rigor ... We advise you to lacto-vegetarian diet-based Ayurveda = perfect lifestyle!
