It can be healthy at any age to be a vegetarian.
Diet must be well thought out to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
Common deficiencies include: iron, zinc, omega 3’s, B-12, and vitamin D.
Vegetarianism Throughout Life
![Page 12: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Experience no different in the development of their child.
Must consumer higher amounts of iron as plant-based sources have lower bioavailability.
Vitamins that tended to be lower: B-12, vitamin C, calcium, and zinc
Pregnant or Lactating
![Page 13: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Recommended to be breast fed
If not breast feed, commercial formulas can be used.
Only recommended alternative for vegans is soy formula.
Whole foods should be introduced the same way as non-vegetarian babies, just substituted. Ex: Mashed tofu instead of strained meat.
Infants
![Page 14: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Require more protein(lower bioavailability of plant sources)
Diet generally results in them eating more fiber, iron, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C than their peers.
The diet is also linked with eating less sweets, and fast food
Vitamins to watch: vitamin D, iron, zinc, and vitamin B-12
Children/Adolescents
![Page 15: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Certain nutrient requirements increase into adulthood: calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B-6
A more nutrient dense diet is required as energy requirements lessen
Vitamin D and B-12 may need to be supplemented on a case-by-case basis.
Adulthood
![Page 16: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Contrary to popular belief, adequate dietary protein can be met without supplementation.
One concern may be lower amounts of muscle creatine, but supplementing will help.
Vegetarian women are more likely to have amenorrhea, but it can be prevented with higher levels of fat, calcium, and iron.

Due to the possibility of low vitamin D levels◦ Calcium absorption suffers◦ More common in Vegans due to their lack of
naturally obtaining this vitamin from food. The loss of calcium due to lack of
absorption can lead to bone weakness◦ Overtime this leads to Osteoporosis◦ The best way to prevent this is calcium and
vitamin D supplementation

Previous Research Individuals with diabetes, dyslipidemia, and
hypertension had more missed work days and more lost productivity compared with individuals without these conditions
Vegetarian and vegan diets improved body weight, glycemic control, plasma lipid concentrations and reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease
![Page 21: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Previous Statistics When compared to health weight
individuals, individuals could have up to 78-111% higher health care costs
With a successful vegan nutrition program their can be an average decrease of 26% in health care costs, 27% decrease in sick leave, and 32% reduction in workers’ compensation cost
![Page 22: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Purpose Researched whether or not a vegan lifestyle

![Page 23: Vegan/Vegetarianism Professional Interview](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062812/56816413550346895dd5c45c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Methods The participants in this study were individuals with
a body mass index greater than or equal to 25 and/or have a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes from two large corporate sites at GIECO
The experimental group had weekly group instruction on a low-fat vegan diet led by a physician, registered dietitian or cooking instructor. The vegan diet consisted of vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes
In order to study costs and feasibility, no meals were provided. Instead the company cafeteria offered daily low-fat vegan options.
