Nutrition
facts
You will find here some nutrition facts. For more detailed
information, contact a nutritionist or dietitian. Let's start by
summarizing by saying that, overall, a vegetarian diet lacks nothing. So no need to
panic or to calculate the nearest milligram in your daily
intake of beta carotene, manganese, silicon or other! Not it is worth
to alarm you at the slightest fatigue, or believe when your loved
ones tell you that by being a vegetarian you will lose your
teeth or your
hair ... Thousands of varieties of fruits, vegetables and cereals are
available on the planet. Indulge yourself and eat all!
The million of
vegetarians that exist around the world are there to prove that we can
be very healthy without meat. Recognized experts add their testimony to
the obvious. I invite you see the position of the
American Dietetic Association
Recent TV campaigns talk, and more and more specialists agree: the
Americans do not eat enough fruits and vegetables (fresh /
raw). A diet rich in sodium and low potassium
outlines the development of
hypertension and cardiovascular disease. An increased consumption of
fruits and vegetables is the best prevention of this risk. The habitual
consumption of vegetables appears to reduce the risk of
degenerative diseases, especially cancers of the respiratory system
(bronchi, larynx, esophagus) and digestive (gastric, liver and
intestine, especially in the colon and rectum).
Please note:

progressing steadily, is challenging and makes mistakes, nutrition is
an evolving field!
