This is an anxious time, and as much as making money makes us anxious, so is our health.

You must have friends like this around you. When you order food, they shout:

Less oil and less salt!

The lighter the better!

Now, can we have a happy meal together?

Organic, light meals, fitness meals... Under this new diet trend, vegetarianism has attracted more and more people's attention.

What kind of people are they? What about their vegetarian table?

This article will take you to explore the world of vegetarianism.

Vegetarian food shows the cultural concept of returning to nature, returning to health and protecting the earth's ecological environment.

One in ten people in the US and one in six people in the UK are or are considering becoming a vegetarian.

The once-popular Anne Hathaway, Prince William, Zhang Jie, Xie Na, and Big S Wang Xiaofei rushed to hold a vegetarian wedding banquet.

Vegetarianism has become a new fashionable way of life and is gradually gaining popularity around the world.

In fact, vegetarianism is not a recent phenomenon, it has been traced thousands of years ago in ancient Greece and India.

It originates from an ancient philosophy of equality of all things, no killing, and compassion.

With the spread of Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies, it became popular.

Meat eaters usually refer to omnivores, meaning both animals and plants are eaten, and humans are considered omnivores.

The eating habits of vegetarians and herbivores are very similar.

But there are also more specific divisions:

Vegetarians are vegetarians who do not eat meat, but still include dairy and eggs in their diet.

Vegans are also called vegans, and they do not use any meat, eggs, dairy or any animal products in their diet. At the same time, vegans do not use other items made from animals, such as honey, Fur coats and leather sofas in your home.

Vegetarianism is a way of life, what makes so many people choose this way of eating?

Some people insist on a vegetarian diet because they advocate avoiding all kinds of oppression and cruelty to animals as much as possible.

There are also people who are sick all the year round, but for health reasons, they feel that stopping eating animal products will alleviate the disease.

Others are environmentalists. Sticking to a vegetarian diet will reduce global carbon emissions.

The way they practice vegetarianism is to lead by example and not force others.

Is a vegan diet really as good as advertised?

Virpi Mikkonen, a well-known vegetarian blogger in Finland, started a vegan diet at the age of 22.

After sticking to a vegan diet for more than ten years, she felt a lot of discomfort in her body:

I have a rash on my face, the flu will not heal for a long time, and my nails are easy to break. Depressed mood, headache, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and even menopause early.

On the advice of her doctor, she had to give up her vegan diet.

Australian fitness blogger Sarahs Day lost all of her muscle after six months on a vegan diet.

Her body needs a lot of protein to function.

She started craving every animal diet and stopped being a vegetarian.

Which diet is more suitable for humans, vegetarian or meat-eating?

From an evolutionary perspective, the diet of meat eaters seems to be responsible for the development of our brain intelligence, because eating meat allows for more protein.

In Okinawa, Japan, the traditional diet is considered the healthiest and longest-lived.

Okinawa has the highest percentage of centenarians in the world.

There are 740 centenarians out of a population of 1.3 million on the island.

The traditional Okinawan diet is based on a lot of plant carbohydrates.

Although they are mainly vegetarian, they also eat meat, usually pork, on certain holidays.

Of course, even like Okinawans, following a healthy diet doesn't mean we'll be immune or immortal.

Today, choosing how to eat is a very "individual thing".

The choice of a vegetarian diet no longer appears deliberate, and there is no longer a need to support one's claim with a sense of guilt for life.

It starts to become natural, it starts to become a choice of people at a certain stage.

It's as if a person keeps adding a lot of novelties and suddenly feels that he should clean up his home.

No matter what kind of diet, there is no absolute pros and cons.

Today, vegetarian restaurants have spread all over the world.

Some five-star hotels of famous brands have special vegetarian services, or set up special vegetarian restaurants.

The vast majority of the world's airlines offer vegetarian meals in a variety of styles.

Anyone can choose their own lifestyle and eating habits,

How to find this "suitable" may be a more worthy question.
