The dietary recommendations can provide the best advice for healthy eating must be built on scientific evidence derived from studies that have investigated the relationships between diet and health, and the same shall be free from conflicts of interest of any kind.
We now have an extensive body of research, started in the middle of last century, the effects of a plant-based diet on health. It 'important to note that, if early studies focused on the risks of failure, over the decades, especially over the last 10-20 years, the focus of research has increasingly focused on the effects of these foods and the nutrients they contain, in the prevention and treatment of major chronic diseases.
In summary, current research shows that vegetarians have a reduced risk of many chronic diseases such as overweight, obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and reduced mortality from ischemic heart disease compared with non-vegetarians. An improvement of these conditions was also obtained on patients in controlled trials with interventions that use plant-based diets.
In large samples of the general population, as is confirmed as the consumption of plant foods is protected against many types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and total mortality, conditions that appear to have been supported by the consumption of animal foods.
All plant foods are protective for health, but it is known that a small part of what the useful nutrients they contain, which is to report this action. Although it is an illusion fostered by the well-growing market of supplements, it's crazy to think you can assemble the few known protective nutrients and get the same benefits given by foods that contain them. In fact, no supplement has been shown to be able to obtain this result, not only in some cases, this illusion has been a real boomerang and caused the exact opposite effect to that intended. Are plant foods in their entirety to be indispensable for the maintenance of health, not some of their "ingredients"!
We also know for a fact that animal foods are not necessary, but above all, in which the doses are recommended, and even worse, even at doses which are higher on average taken, damage the body.
Here is how to support the importance of a diet high or exclusive content of plant foods in the dietary recommendations is a position in line with current scientific knowledge, and why not, an act of love for a neighbor whose health is increasingly endangered by lack of information the merits has been widely, as demonstrated, except that no one needs to know.
Forced by the total absence of any indication by the official bodies of our country, the Scientific Society of SSNV-Vegetarian Nutrition has formulated a proposal for guidelines for a balanced diet and healthy plant-based, collected on the website http:/ / www.vegpyramid.info/ .
On the basis of what are the signs of the most prestigious and qualified organizations and institutions that deal with vegetarian food, VegPyramid also recommends building on the diet abundant quantity and variety of plant foods, separate into groups food.
Whole grains, legumes, nuts and other protein-rich foods (such as soy and wheat gluten), vegetable, fruit and small amounts of vegetable oils carefully chosen, the emphasis on plant sources of omega-3 as flax seed oil and soybean oil, and regular consumption of foods rich in calcium and reliable sources of vitamin B12, are able to provide a balanced diet and appropriate in the context of which the possible consumption of animal foods indirect, such as milk and eggs is not essential.
This type of information can be used as a basis for those who do not want to completely give up animal foods, but is gaining responsibility their own health: an omnivorous diet, in fact, to be healthy should be built on large variety and quantity of natural plant foods, used to give "direction" to the pot, reserving the animal food as an "spices", which small amounts that give flavor to which many of habit acquired, they can not or will not give up.
