Dubai, Binh Shaheen said that the vegetarian diet had many health benefits, provided the potential negative effects were avoided.
"Vegetarian diets help to lose weight," said Shahin, a nutritionist at First Middle East Fitness. "The average weight of a vegetarian is 2 to 4 kg less than meat.
This is mainly due to the amount of calories in animal protein, while vegetable protein contains fewer calories.
The vegetarian diet also improves digestion by consuming large amounts of vegetables, fruits and fiber, which help calm the colon.
On the other hand, animal products and dairy products such as milk, cheese, eggs and even chocolate can cause allergies.
Reducing the consumption of these foods can help reduce the symptoms of so-called "food intolerance" and the risk of intestinal leakage.
According to the American Dietetic Association, reducing the consumption of animal products can also reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Loss of vitamins and minerals
Shaheen said that many people who choose a vegetarian diet are not aware of the amount of vitamins and minerals they might lose, which requires knowing how to maintain a healthy and balanced diet as much as possible.
The most common negative effect of herbal diets is the lack of nutrients, usually obtained from products of animal origin.
These include:
• Vitamin B-12 is a necessary vitamin for the health of the brain and the nervous system.
• Omega-3 fish oil plays an important role in concentration, memory, eye safety and improved vision, as well as healthy joints, skin and hair.
• Iron – Without iron, the body can produce enough material in red blood cells to carry oxygen.
This can lead to fatigue, weakness, facial imperfections, headaches, shortness of breath, nail attacks and lack of appetite.
Zinc – Zinc is the metal the body needs to fight disease, produce and renew cells. It plays an important role in healing wounds.
Zinc deficiency can lead to hair loss, poor concentration and loss of sense of taste and smell.
In order to avoid deficiency in these elements, dieters should:
• Consult a dietitian to learn more about the plant elements, which must be taken to avoid any deficiency of minerals and vitamins.
Eat a lot of foods rich in iron, zinc and omega-3.
• Add dietary supplements to daily meals.
• Organize annual medical exams to determine the levels of vitamins and minerals in the body.
Shahin pointed out that all plants contain good amounts of protein.
However, the quality of proteins in plants is different and depends on the proportion of amino acids. There are nine essential amino acids that the body can not produce.
These nine amino acids can be found in quinoa, shea seeds, buckwheat, cannabis seeds and spirulina.
