How To Have A Healthy Vegetarian Diet
| Health And Fitness : Food And Health Many, many people are vegetarian these days - and for a variety of reasons; often as a lifestyle choice rather than an ethical decision. However a vegetarian diet needs to ensure that the substances from meats - for instance proteins - are replaced properly in their diet. So you should ensure that you include variety - fresh fruit and veg are fantastic, but on their own are not enough for a healthy and balanced diet. Therefore add things like soy products to your diet to top up on protein. Consider tofu and mycoproteins too - vegetarian alternatives to meats. Organically grown food will also be best for you, though of course it can be expensive so only get it if you are able to afford it at a reasonable cost. Finally, ensure that when you eat your vegetables often raw vegetables are best (if the veg can be eaten raw!) Do not overcook those which need cooking as this can aid the breakdown of vitamins and minerals and therefore you would derive less benefit.
