Why are people vegetarian?

vegetarian or vegan, diet can be nutritionaly sound and appropriate for all ages and stages of life, including infant

the eldery, and even athletes. Good health, reduce incidence of disease and better management of existing heal
problems are all associated with following a vegetarian.

If we contra of vegetarian , vegetarian also have its own risk. We called its by vegan diets Danger. There are :
1) Low Protein diets can increase toxicity.
Phase liver detoxification is driven by amino acid ( the building blocks of proteins).Long-term vegan
diets tend to impair liver detoxification pathways According to Dr. Ray Peat, PhD, Protein deficiency
itself contributes to the harm done by toxins, since the livers ability to detoxify them depends on
adequate nutrition, especially good protein.
2) Historically, there are no cultures that have thrived by subsisting off of animal free diet.
Along with that goes eating foods that people have been consuming for generations. A dentist who
traveled the world to study the dietary behaviors and consequences of various dietary practices. Dr.
Price made the ground-breaking discovery about the link between a diet low in animal foods (thus low
fat-soluble vitamins) and tooth decay.
3) Vegan often favor soy products. Since protein is scarce when you avoid animal products, soy
products like edamame, tofu, soy protein powder and tempeh are often dietary staples. The reality is
that soy protein is very difficult to digest, thyroid suppressive and estrogenic due to phytoestrogens. It
also contains high levels of phytic acid that cause less assimilation of nutrients, as well as contain
trypsin inhibitors that can interfere with digestion.
4) vegan diets tend to be low in high quality protein.
According to Dr. Ray Peat, PhD, One thing that happens in the vegetable diet, heavily based on [the]
cabbage family, or beans, lentils and nuts, these proteins, in quality, rank about 15 times lower than the
highest quality protein. And so even though a person might think theyre eating nothing but protein
rich foods, beans and nuts, their quality is so low that their liver simply cant respond to the thyroid.
Last word
Well-planned vegetarian diets are healthy and help prevent chronic diseases also many benefit others. But make sure
to ask your dietician to guide you on how to include the 'at risk' nutrients by choosing the right foods in the right
combinations for a complete balanced diet.
