The best vegetarian restaurants in Nizhny Novgorod in 2022

Every year in Nizhny Novgorod there are more places where people can enjoy food that is not of animal origin. Many of the establishments focus on vegetarian and modern dishes that are cooked without the use of heat treatment, without gluten or sugar. Below is a ranking of the best vegetarian restaurants in Nizhny Novgorod in 2022.

Vegetarianism. How to choose the type of food?

Often, a vegetarian menu consists of cereals, nut or soy milk, and a variation of vegetables with spices that can shade and emphasize the taste of the main ingredients. A balanced diet helps not to feel hungry, while maintaining a feeling of lightness.

Vegetarianism is divided into: veganism, lacto-vegetarianism, fruitarianism and a number of other directions.

• veganism refers to the most rigid type of food intake, involving the rejection of not only meat and fish products, but also dishes from eggs and milk;
• lacto-vegetarianism is a less cardinal diet. Its supporters consume eggs, milk and dairy products;
• Fruitarianism is the consumption of raw fruits, berries and fruit vegetables.

When thinking about a significant change in diet and the transition to strictly plant-based products, the process should begin gradually.

Benefits of Vegetarianism

Some experts believe that the cause of most of all diseases is malnutrition. Vegetarianism has the following advantages:

• a similar eating style reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, arthritis or arthrosis, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and some subtypes of cancer;
• low-calorie diet to control weight;
• such a diet cleanses the body of toxins;
• ease of digestion of products, which has a positive effect on digestion;
• normalized cholesterol and increased immunity;
• getting the body the required amount of fiber;
• vegetable products (vegetables, fruits and grains) contain minerals, vitamins and phytoncides;
• there is no need to buy pills in a pharmacy, since the body receives all the nutrients from plant foods.

It can be concluded that this style of eating has certain positive aspects.

Harm of vegetarianism

In addition to the obvious positive effect, this type of nutrition can cause negative phenomena:

• the risk of iron deficiency anemia due to the low absorption of iron obtained from food of plant origin;
• lack of vitamin B12, leading to serious diseases of the nervous system, leading to long-term treatment. The substance is found only in products of animal origin;
• lack of calcium, iodine, vitamin D, zinc, which provokes cardiovascular diseases and the formation of cataracts;
• this style of eating is undesirable for patients with asthenic syndrome, with a weak body or recovering from surgery;
• this type of food is not recommended for pregnant or lactating mothers;
• with a sharp change in diet, problems with reproductive function or menstrual irregularities are possible;
• excess fiber in the body inhibits the absorption of proteins.

Experts note the fact that switching to a vegetarian diet should be gradual, since a sudden change in diet can harm human health. Also, according to the advice of experts, you should check the body before the final transition to a new diet.
