Vegetarian DietVegetables (either raw, cooked or frozen) are one of the richest sources of vitamins and some essential minerals. To help prevent vitamin deficiency, the World Health organisation (WHO) recommends a minimum daily intake of five portions of vegetables and fruits. Several dietary studies show that populations with diets that are rich in vegetables have a significantly reduced risk of coronary heart disease and cancers. Vegetables contain vitamin A (beta-carotene), members of the B-complex, Folate, vitamins C, E and K. Vegetables are also excellent sources of phytochemicals - the protective plant micronutrients like the carotenoids lycopene and lutein. (The health benefits of phytochemicals are a relatively recent discovery. Phytochemicals - from the Greek word "phyto", meaning "plant" - are compounds found in plant foods.) If you want to follow a vegetarian eating plan or simply reduce your intake of meat, annecollins.com has tons of information and resources to help you understand the principles of healthy vegetarianism, maintain a healthy weight and reduce your cholesterol. Our main veggie diet is a lacto-ovo eating plan, although it can be converted to suit vegans. One of the big problems about strict vegetarian menus is the danger of not eating enough vitamin B12. If you follow a vegan diet or a strict macrobiotic diet, you will need to include B12 fortified foods and possibly other nutritional supplements to ensure optimum nutrition. Vegetarian
