Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes. A vegetarian diet is defined as one that does not include meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing those foods. This article reviews the current data related to key nutrients for vegetarians including protein, n-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, and vitamins D and B<sub>12</sub>. A vegetarian diet can meet current recommendations for all of these nutrients. In some cases, supplements or fortified foods can provide useful amounts of important nutrients. An evidence-based review showed that vegetarian diets can be nutritionally adequate in pregnancy and result in positive maternal and infant health outcomes. The results of an evidencebased review showed that a vegetarian diet is associated with a lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease. Vegetarians also appear to have lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension and type 2 diabetes than nonvegetarians. Furthermore, vegetarians tend to have a lower body mass index and lower overall cancer rates. Features of a vegetarian diet that may reduce risk of chronic disease include lower intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol and higher intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, soy products, fiber, and phytochemicals. The variability of dietary practices among vegetarians makes individual assessment of dietary adequacy essential. In addition to assessing dietary adequacy, food and nutrition professionals can also play key roles in educating vegetarians about sources of specific nutrients, food purchase and preparation, and dietary modifications to meet their needs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100021,"journal":{"name":"Actividad Dietética","volume":"14 1","pages":"Pages 10-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1138-0322(10)70003-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91630363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the recommendations and criteria of international organizations, a study was made on some of the products most frequently consumed, like olive oil, potatoes, fresh and tinned tomatoes, the strawberry, the garden strawberry, pears, plums and the prickly pear, as well as some tinned foods. The results obtained revealed the differences that existed with the data offered by foreign authors, and highlighted the higher amount of vitamin resources from products like Andalusian olive oil or the fresh Valencian tomato. These differences were attributed to the geoclimatic factor.

Furthermore, by revising the positions of the most important clinical societies in the field of allergology and immunology, as well as the scientific studies on the matter mentioned in this document, the GREP-AEDN considers that undergoing the dietary treatment resulting from the results of these tests (mainly characterised by the restriction of food items) not only means a waste of money, but it can entail health hazards.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100021,"journal":{"name":"Actividad Dietética","volume":"14 1","pages":"Pages 27-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1138-0322(10)70004-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90013641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
