 Vegetarian diets vary greatly from person to person. But typically, a vegetarian diet can closely match current diatary recommendations for healthy eating. A diet high in fat with not enough fruit, vegetables, cereals, and other starchy foods are a major cause of coronary heart disease, some cancers, obesity, diabetes, and constipation. As a basic guide, it is recommended that a vegetarian diet should include the following each day: >3 or 4 servings of cereals/grains - provides energy, fibre, vitamin B, calcium, and iron. >2 or 3 servings of pulses, nuts or seeds - provides protein, energy, fibre, calcium, iron, and zinc. >4 or 5 servings of fruit or vegetables
including: >2 servings of dairy or soya products - provides protein, energy, calcium, and other minerals, vitamin B12, vitamin D. >A small amount of plaint oils, margarine or butter - provides energy, essential fatty acids, vitamin E (plaint oils) and vitamins A and D (margarine or butter) |
