ovovegetariánské

Ovovegetariánství is a dietary pattern that excludes meat, poultry, and fish, but includes eggs and dairy products. It is a subset of vegetarianism, specifically falling under the category of lacto-ovo vegetarianism. Individuals who follow an ovovegetarian diet consume a variety of plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, alongside eggs and dairy like milk, cheese, and yogurt. This dietary choice is often motivated by a combination of ethical, environmental, health, and religious reasons.

The inclusion of eggs and dairy provides essential nutrients like protein, vitamin B12, iron, and calcium, which might be less readily available or require careful planning in stricter forms of vegetarianism, such as veganism. Ovovegetarianism is considered a relatively accessible and nutritionally sound way of eating for many people. It allows for a broad range of culinary possibilities and can be easily adapted to various cultural cuisines. Health benefits associated with a well-planned ovovegetarian diet can include a lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer, often attributed to higher intake of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants and lower intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.
