Vegetarianism is good for the heart and liver... but it's all for nothing if you don't follow 'this'

채식, 심장·간에 좋지만… ‘이것’ 안 지키면 헛수고

 

Vegetarianism is a dietary approach that primarily consumes plant-based foods such as vegetables and fruits, while limiting the intake of animal-based foods like meat and eggs. However, blindly practicing vegetarianism can actually harm health. Let's learn about healthy vegetarian methods.

 

Long-term practice of vegetarianism can lead to deficiencies in essential amino acids, calcium, iron, and vitamin B12, which are difficult to supplement with plant-based foods alone.

They may experience health problems related to their shoulders.
 
To enjoy the nutritional benefits of a vegetarian diet, you need to plan a diet that supplements any lacking nutrients.

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient abundant in meat, fish, and dairy products, and is essential for maintaining healthy blood and nervous system. When following a vegetarian diet, it is important to properly supplement B vitamins by consuming cereals containing vitamin B12 or unsweetened soy beverages.

When following a vegetarian diet, it is easy to become deficient in omega-3, which is essential for heart health.
 
It is good to include high-quality omega-3 sources such as flaxseed, walnuts, chia seeds, and olive oil in your diet.
Calcium is a nutrient necessary for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It is good to consume plant-based foods rich in calcium such as ▲soybeans ▲tofu ▲broccoli ▲cabbage ▲sesame seeds.

Vegetarianism tends to lead to iron deficiency.
 
The iron in plant-based foods is not absorbed by the body as efficiently as the iron in animal-based foods, so it is good to consume foods that aid iron absorption together.
 
According to the British Dietetic Association, vitamin C helps the body absorb plant-based iron more easily.
 
It is good to consume iron-rich foods such as legumes, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, and nuts, and to ensure adequate intake of vitamin C through foods like oranges, cabbage, and strawberries.
