Vegetarián

Vegetarián refers to a person who abstains from eating meat, poultry, and fish. This dietary choice can be adopted for various reasons, including ethical concerns about animal welfare, environmental considerations, religious beliefs, or health benefits. There are several types of vegetarianism. Lacto-ovo vegetarians consume dairy products and eggs, while lacto-vegetarians include dairy but exclude eggs. Ovo-vegetarians consume eggs but not dairy. Vegans, a stricter form of vegetarianism, avoid all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and often honey. Some people also follow a pescetarian diet, which includes fish but no other meat. The motivations behind vegetarianism are diverse, and the practice has been recognized in various cultures and religions throughout history. Nutritional planning is often necessary to ensure adequate intake of certain nutrients that are more readily available in meat, such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. However, well-planned vegetarian diets can be healthy and provide all the necessary nutrients.
