As weight loss becomes a trend and beauty becomes a fashion, vegetarianism has brazenly taken over the daily lives of many women. However, due to the special physiological characteristics of women, there are at least three periods in their lives when it is not advisable to be vegetarian…
(I) Girls during sexual maturity and development
For girls in this period, long-term vegetarianism can lead to excessively low estrogen levels, causing poor or delayed development of secondary sexual characteristics. This hinders the development of female breasts and gonads and can affect vocal quality and physical beauty.
Common misconceptions about vegetarianism
1. Vegetarianism for weight loss – If you don't pay attention to your dietary combination, it can easily lead to malnutrition and other problems. Moreover, foods like nuts and chocolate also contain high calories, and eating too much of them will also cause weight gain.
2. Vegetarian food has a terrible taste, like chewing wax – This understanding is also completely wrong. Saying this only shows that you haven't tried the famous vegetarian restaurants.
3. Vegetables are tasteless and require a lot of seasoning – This is not the case either. Natural vegetarian foods are colorful and nutritious. By using a variety of different ingredients and trying different combinations, you can taste different delicious flavors.
4. Eating too many potatoes will make you fat – This understanding is also incorrect. Potatoes are highly nutritious and an excellent choice as a staple food or a dish. Normal cooking methods will not affect their nutritional value; only fried french fries and potato cakes are the culprits that will make you fat.(II) Women of childbearing age
Women of childbearing age who often eat vegetarian food may have their estrogen levels lowered, leading to fertility problems.
(III) Menopausal women
Due to ovarian atrophy, menopausal women have a lack of or have "ended" estrogen secretion. During this time, long-term vegetarianism will make the symptoms of "menopausal syndrome" particularly obvious. A decrease in estrogen levels can easily lead to osteoporosis, laying a "hidden danger" for fractures.
