essay 4



                                                Vegetarianism

Vegetarianismis the diet that has as a principle the abstention from meat and all food that comes from an animal, such as gelatin and fat. This essay will discuss some of the types of vegetarianism, and advantages and disadvantages of vegetarian diets have. 

Speaking of a vegetarian diet,  you should know that it is not always social to have vegetable-based food only.
There are different types of vegetarianism, including eggs and milk, called “ovo - lacto “ vegetarians. These are strict vegetarians who eat only plant food.   Also, there are the “crudivoros “who based their diet on foodwithout cooking (by what they do not consume animal food or starches derived from cereals only consumed cooked.) This idea is not clear.

The benefits of a vegetarian diet includes low intake of saturated fats, absence of cholesterol containing products of animal origin. In addition, with the vegetarian diet, we can include a greater amount of fiber.
Also, among the benefits of the vegetarian diet we can see  its cardioprotective power and help to prevent obesity.

On the other hand, as part of the disadvantages of  people following a vegetarian diet we have a higher risk of absence of some micronutrients, since high fiber consumption can prevent the absorption of minerals.  In addition, some nutrients are scarce or absent in the plant Kingdom. Vitamin B12 is obtained from meat products; therefore, vegetarians suffer from anemia as a result of this . Also , including many carbohydrates and fried foods are not benefits.


In my opinion,  I am not a person who consumes a lot of  red meat, which sometimes is not fresh in supermarkets; they are rotten, but treated with carbon monoxide to make it look fresh, I respect each person and their diet: however,  we must sconsume a little of each nutrient .
