Nutritionists suggested, from which products can be gleaned useful substances to people who don’t eat meat.
Every day vegetarianism and veganism are becoming increasingly popular. And if earlier many feared that due to lack of nutrients from animal products in the diet may develop serious ailments and even diseases. Now, even athletes forgo meat, fish and eggs, and some from dairy products, too, in favor of a healthy plant foods and, most importantly, feel great.
Nutritionists have called five foods that should not replace food of animal origin:
Veggie burgers or nuggets. Especially experts do not recommend buying already prepared foods which only need to warm up. There are several reasons: first in the supposedly vegetarian patties for the Burger or the nuggets could be animal protein, that is real meat, the second is to ensure that these products are long kept, was delicious and quickly prepared, they definitely include salt, sugar, flavor enhancers and other additives is not very useful.
Protein shakes based on the powder. Very rarely manufacturers of protein powders use only natural products. And to drink a cocktail of powder, which has a lot of sugar and other additives, has no logical sense, because it needs to benefit your health, not harm.
Nuts, which are roasted with salt. Extra salt does not benefit anyone else brought, so salted nuts hardly a useful product.
“Meat” products, the Foundation of which is tofu. By itself, tofu is a great source of protein and nutrients, but if he cooked sausage or sausage, then it is hard to call it useful, because in similar products adds a lot of sugar and salt and taste enhancers and preservatives.
Cheese. Most hard cheeses in its composition are extracts of rennet of animal origin. Besides, this product is too greasy and high in calories to eat every day.
In fact, experts in the field of vegetarianism and vegan claim that meat does not need anything to be replaced because all the nutrients found in other foods, except animal protein. And amino acids, dietary fiber and vitamins are not only in meat products, fish and eggs but also vegetables, fruits, greens, milk, nuts, seeds and cereals.
If you want to become a vegetarian, then your diet must be present: soy beans, lentils, beans, peas, nuts, seeds (flax, quinoa, sunflower, hemp), whole grains, hummus, couscous and rice. Eating these foods regularly, your body will get the full amount of vegetable protein and essential amino acids.
