Vegetarian cuisine is considered one of the healthiest cuisines due to the large amount of vitamins and medicinal elements in plants.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE VEGETARIAN?
Being vegetarian means not consuming animal proteins or derivatives. So we talk about strict vegetarianism. If in addition everything is consumed raw, it is called raw food.
In the case that eggs, milk and derivatives are consumed, it is called ovo-dairy-vegetarian diet. And if animal proteins are consumed sporadically, then we are talking about flex vegetarianism.
As you can see, there are many types and each one can be adapted to any style. The purpose is to increase health by reducing excessive consumption of meat and fish. To make these changes it is necessary to know how to eat correctly.
SCIENTIFIC DATA
The WHO studies in a report the increase in hunger and the persistence of malnutrition in which it warns that the achievement of zero hunger by 2030 is doubtful.
[iv] The report discusses the “hidden costs” of unhealthy diets and four alternative model options: flex-vegetarian diet, fish-based diet, vegetarian diet, and vegan diet.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the largest US organization of food and nutrition professionals, with nearly 72,000 members, and views vegetarian diets, including vegans, as healthful and nutritionally beneficial for the treatment of some diseases at any stage of life. It is also considered highly sustainable because it uses fewer resources and harms the environment less.
In the year 2011 the University of Harward, Harward School of Public Health designed the healthy dish. The healthy dish replaces the existing food pyramid that gave more prominence to cereals.
The healthy plate is easier to interpret for our daily meals and 50% of the plate should be based on vegetables and fruits, 25% on cereals and the remaining 25% on proteins (which can be vegetables).
Overall, a very vegetarian dish.
