健康飲食

在過去的幾年里，為了了解更多關于食物和健康的知識，營養學家研究了人們更健康、壽命更長的地方飲食。他們發現，在日本和南歐的地中海國家，心臟病、糖尿病、中風和癌癥的發病率是世界上最低的。盡管他們的傳統菜系看起來和嘗起來都很不一樣，但日本人和地中海人吃的食物很多是一樣的。他們吃很多水果、蔬菜、全麥食品、豆類和堅果，而且他們用植物油而不是動物脂肪來烹飪。他們的傳統飲食也包括大量的魚類和海鮮，但奶制品和雞蛋不多，紅肉很少或根本沒有。

現在許多營養學家推薦像這樣的低脂飲食，或者類似的魚素者的飲食，包括乳制品、魚和海鮮，但沒有像豬肉或牛肉這樣的紅肉或家禽肉。有些人甚至建議完全不吃肉的素食主義者或純素食主義者，特別是對患有心臟病或其他飲食相關疾病的人。但是如果你成為素食主義者或純素食主義者，他們說你必須確保你從富含蛋白質的植物性食物中攝取所有必需的氨基酸，比如大豆。
