Articles of category "Vegetarian protein"

There has been a popular misconception that argued that meat is the only source of protein, and therefore vegetarian diet has been considered by some as unhealthy due to the lack of real protein in it. However, according to recent researches there are lots of vegetarian protein sources (including whole grains, seeds, sea vegetables, etc.). But the only problem about them is that they don`t contain complete proteins (except for soybeans).

For many people it seems that animal proteins are richer. However, the difference between animal and plant proteins has more theoretical rather than practical significance. Combining proteins can be beneficial, that's why vegetarians are often healthier since they avoid consuming animal protein containing fat. So, according to the protein combining theory, proteins from various plants complement each other and therefore play an important role in maintaining a good health condition of people.
