Necessary Vitamins And Minerals For Vegetarian?
ByI’m a vegetarian, so I don’t eat meat. I am not a Vegan; I do drink milk and eat eggs and dairy products.
I don’t like to eat a lot of fake meat and tofu, because I know they contain estrogen. I understand that eating things like beans and cheese and drinking milk will help me to obtain some protein, but are there any other vitamins and minerals I may be missing out on?
I take vitamins/dietary supplements/whatever-you-want-to-call-th… every morning and night (the normal kind). I’m not sure exactly what is in them, but I’m pretty sure it’s similar to what’s in all the other vitamins.
There are special multivitamins for Vegetarians that you can buy. As far as getting sufficient protein goes you must make sure that you get complete proteins. Protein powder is good for this. Eggs are a complete protein and quinoa is the only non animal product that is a complete protein. Beans, cheese, and grains are incomplete proteins and you should combine at least three of them to get a complete protein. Peanut butter is a great source of protein but it is incomplete, eat it with bread or another grain.
Vegetarian diet needs following dietary nutrients
Protein, vitamin B- 2 , & B12, vitamin D, iron, calcium, zinc,
I have been a vegetarian for 10 years. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into when I first made the choice. Now after 10 years I have become very interested in the subject. I eat very healthy. I fine that eating things such as a cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread, a daily glass of milk white or with chocolate, and a rice and bean dinner once a week really does the job. Of course we have the crabs to worry about, but a little daily work out and watching your food proportions will help with that.
