When you think of vegetarianism, you probably think of healthy, active people enjoying the outdoors and lots of physical activity while crunching down on wholesome, healthy snacks like apples and granola bars. This is probably the most prevalent view of vegetarians, and it is one that tempts even the most devoted steak lover on occasion.
In reality, there are a lot of different ways and reasons to be a vegetarian, and not all of them are motivated by a love for animals or even a devotion to health. However, vegetarians do enjoy a reputation for healthy, wholesome living and can experience a variety of health benefits such as lower cholesterol, better heart health and more energy. Unfortunately, most people who adopt vegetarianism as a lifestyle simply forgo meat, which is not sufficient in and of itself to help you attain the health and lifestyle benefits you may be hoping for.
Optimum Nutrition Supplements
If you are considering vegetarianism, then make sure that you have compensated for these potential health "hazards" before you begin your new dietary lifestyle:
1. Vegetarians can be more prone to renal infection and gum disease.
Because of certain aspects of a vegetarian diet, many vegetarians are slightly more prone to renal infections and gum disease than people who eat a more conventional diet. Work with your dentist to determine what vitamins you may be particularly short on that could cause your gums to recede, and talk to your physician about fortifying your kidneys. If you are still going to drink milk, then this can take care of your teeth and bones' need for calcium, but your kidney's need for protein may need to be considered, particularly if you are avoiding fish and chicken as well as red meat.
2. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 shortages accumulate over time, and usually do not manifest themselves in the form of symptoms until you have been a vegetarian for about two years. Lack of B12 can cause anemia, depression and even dementia. You can take B12 in the form of a supplement, or some people get B12 shots.
3. Do not undermine the cardiovascular benefits of your diet by overlooking the importance of omega 3.
Your omega 3 levels can take a deep dive if you decide to forgo all meat, including fish. Omega 3 is an essential nutrient found in fish oil that is vital to brain function, heart function and mental stability. It is also found in flax seed oil and walnuts, but some scientists fear that the forms of this fatty acid found in these foods are not actually absorbable by your body. The best way to insure that you are getting enough omega 3 in your diet is to take a daily supplement, then you can eat fish or not as you choose.

Black Friday Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery, Colossal Chocolate, 3.73-Pounds Overview
What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine.Black Friday Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery, Colossal Chocolate, 3.73-Pounds Specifications
