Ua lōʻihi ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i nā pono o ka meaʻai meaʻai, a e hoʻomau mau ʻia ʻoiai kēia noiʻi. Ua ulu paha ke kanaka i nā omnivores e pale aku i ka pilikia o ka ʻai ʻole? A i ʻole ka meaʻai meaʻai he koho olakino a kūpono hoʻi?
Eia nā ʻikepili koʻikoʻi loa mai kahi noiʻi o 1 meaʻai meaʻai ma mua o 904 mau makahiki e ka German Cancer Research Center. Nā hualoaʻa haʻawina haʻalulu: hoʻemi nā kāne meaʻai meaʻai i ka hopena o ka make mua ma 21%! Hoʻemi nā wahine mea kanu i ka make ma 50%. ʻO ka haʻawina lōʻihi he 30 vegans (ʻaʻole i ʻai i nā huahana holoholona) a me 60 mea ʻai meaʻai (nāna i ʻai i nā hua manu a me ka waiū, akā ʻaʻole ka ʻiʻo).
Hōʻike ʻia nā mea ʻē aʻe he mau mea ʻai meaʻai "maʻalahi" i ʻai i kekahi manawa i ka iʻa a i ʻole ka ʻiʻo. Ua hoʻohālikelike ʻia ke olakino o kēia mau mea noiʻi me ke olakino maʻamau o ka heluna kanaka Kelemania. ʻAʻole pili wale ke ola lōʻihi me ka nele o ka ʻiʻo i ka meaʻai. E like me ka hōʻike ʻana o nā hopena o ke aʻo ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa ka helu o nā mea ʻai meaʻai maʻalahi mai nā mea ʻai meaʻai koʻikoʻi. Hōʻike ka hopena iā ia iho ʻaʻole ka vegetarianism ponoʻī, akā ʻo ka makemake nui i ke ola olakino e alakaʻi i nā hopena koʻikoʻi. Akā, ʻōlelo ka poʻe ʻepekema ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea ʻai meaʻai ʻaʻole nānā nui i ko lākou olakino a me ke ʻano o ke ola, akā koho lākou i ka meaʻai mea kanu e pili ana i ka noʻonoʻo pono, ka hopohopo kaiapuni, a i ʻole ka ʻono pilikino. ʻAʻole loaʻa i nā mea kanu nā meaʻai e pono ai lākou? Ua ʻike ʻia ka noiʻi ʻana e nā ʻepekema ma ke Kulanui o Vienna ʻo ka ʻai ʻana o nā huaora A a me C, folic acid, fiber a me nā momona unsaturated i nā mea ʻai meaʻai ʻoi aku ma mua o nā pae awelika. Eia nō naʻe, nele paha ka huaora B12, ka calcium a me ka huaʻa D i ka meaʻai meaʻai. ʻO ka mea kupaianaha naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i nā poʻe noiʻi nā maʻi e like me ka osteoporosis, pili pinepine me ka lawa ʻole o kēia mau micronutrients.
