Disadvantages
1. They assure that vegans can suffer problems in their physical and intellectual development if
they do not receive the tryptophan that is contained in the proteins and feeds the neurons of
the brain.
2. Vegetable vitamins are not complete. So if you do not eat meat, you'd better combine the
vegetables to be able to receive the proteins your body needs to function well.
3. They do not receive adequate vitamin B12. In the case of children, this can have a negative
impact on their development and nutrition.
Desventajas
1. Aseguran que los veganos pueden sufrir problemas en su desarrollo físico e intelectual si no
reciben el triptófano que está contenido en las proteínas y alimenta a las neuronas del
cerebro.
2. Las vitaminas vegetales no son completas. Por eso si no comes carne, será mejor que
combines los vegetales para poder recibir las proteínas que tu cuerpo necesita para funcionar
bien.
3. No reciben la vitamina B12 adecuada. En el caso de los niños, esto puede repercutir
negativamente en su desarrollo y nutrición.
The vegetarian diet is one that allows the consumption of proteins of animal origin without
incurring in the mistreatment or death of the animal, ie eggs, milk and its derivatives. On the
other hand, vegans choose not to consume food from animals and their protein sources are
exclusively of vegetable origin.
By having the fruits, vegetables and tubers as the main source of consumption, the
consumption of vitamins, minerals and fibers is increased. The caloric intake of fruits and
vegetables is lower than the preparations of animal origin because they do not contain fat and
therefore it is also easier to maintain a healthy weight and suitable for size.
No food replaces protein of animal origin. However, protein supplements are currently
available, although they are still of animal origin (they are based on caseinate as a source of
proteins extracted from the whey of cow's milk) and therefore not allowed in vegan food. In
the case of vegetarian food, your protein source can be compensated with cheese, milk,
derivatives and eggs, although taking precautions in order to control the level of cholesterol.
Five myths
1. "Vegetarians are preachers": The reality is that they do not insist on changing the way of
thinking of others and respect all kinds of opinions.
2. "Vegetarians are extremely healthy": That thought is wrong. Today there are hundreds of
food options without animal meat that vegetarians can consume, such as processed foods that
are far from healthy.
3. "Vegetarians are very weak": Completely wrong, vegetarians consume a lot of vegetable
protein and in fact they are always very strong and vital.
4. "Vegetarian food has no taste and is boring": That does not include animal meat does not
mean that it is not tasty and varied, on the contrary, many vegetables are very tasty, you just
have to know how to cook and season them properly.
Al tener como mayor fuente de consumo las frutas, las verduras y los tubérculos, se aumenta
el consumo de vitaminas, minerales y fibras. El aporte calórico de las frutas y las verduras es
inferior a las preparaciones de origen animal por qué no contienen grasa y por lo tanto
también es más fácil mantener un peso saludable y adecuado para la talla.
Cinco mitos
3. “Los vegetarianos son muy débiles’’: Completamente errado, los vegetarianos consumen
mucha proteína vegetal y de hecho están siempre muy fuertes y vitales.
4. “La comida vegetariana no tiene sabor y es aburrida’’: Que no incluya carne animal no
significa que no sea sabrosa y variada, por el contrario, muchos vegetales son muy gustosos,
simplemente hay que saber cómo cocinarlos y condimentarlos adecuadamente.
