健康饮食

在过去的几年里，为了了解更多关于食物和健康的知识，营养学家研究了人们更健康、寿命更长的地方饮食。他们发现，在日本和南欧的地中海国家，心脏病、糖尿病、中风和癌症的发病率是世界上最低的。尽管他们的传统菜系看起来和尝起来都很不一样，但日本人和地中海人吃的食物很多是一样的。他们吃很多水果、蔬菜、全麦食品、豆类和坚果，而且他们用植物油而不是动物脂肪来烹饪。他们的传统饮食也包括大量的鱼类和海鲜，但奶制品和鸡蛋不多，红肉很少或根本没有。

现在许多营养学家推荐像这样的低脂饮食，或者类似的鱼素者的饮食，包括乳制品、鱼和海鲜，但没有像猪肉或牛肉这样的红肉或家禽肉。有些人甚至建议完全不吃肉的素食主义者或纯素食主义者，特别是对患有心脏病或其他饮食相关疾病的人。但是如果你成为素食主义者或纯素食主义者，他们说你必须确保你从富含蛋白质的植物性食物中摄取所有必需的氨基酸，比如大豆。
