"Jonathan SURE you want to be a vegetarian? Kan he was only 6 months? "Asked Santi to Riana (32). Women who undergo a vegetarian diet since their teens nodded firmly. "What will your daughter be afraid ngagk vitamin or protein deficiency?" Cecar Santi else Riana rewarded with a smile to soothe his friend.
Hmm, is it safe baby who just knows solids (Complementary feeding) underwent a vegetarian diet? Let's further Kulik!
Kind of Vegetarian
Application of a vegetarian diet in force parents to their children could be due to the belief factor (parents hold certain religious teachings), the influence of other family or else because of health reasons.
Basically, there are three kinds of vegetarians, namely:
1. Lacto ovo vegetarian. That is a vegetarian who does not consume animal food sources (meat or fish) but still consume milk and eggs and derivatives products.
2. Lacto vegetarian. That is a vegetarian who apply vegetarian diet plus dairy products only. They do not consume a derivative of milk such as cheese, creamer, yogurt, butter, and eggs, meat or fish.
3. Pure vegetarian (total vegetarian). That is a vegetarian who does not eat animal protein or a side dish at all (not mengasup milk and milk derivatives, eggs, meat or fish).
Can-can Only Origin ...
Vegetarian diet can actually be done by the baby early. Until the age of 6 months, your baby's nutritional needs are fulfilled by the ASI. Well, once they were introduced to solid foods (from age 6 months), a vegetarian diet can be applied, provided with the right combination.
When parents insist on adopting a vegetarian diet to their babies, should apply lacto ovo vegetarian, lacto vegetarian or not a pure vegetarian. What article? Infants or children are still in the stage of growth.
Compared to other types of vegetarians, lacto ovo still quite 'loose'. Because children can still eat eggs, milk and other dairy products - except for meat and fish - so they will not lack substance essential for the body, such as essential amino acids.
The Importance of Essential Amino Acids
Told by dr. H. Adi Tagor, SpA, DPH from Pondok Indah Hospital, Jakarta. Essential amino acids needed by humans as a constituent of protein or as a framework for important molecules.
Mengasup essential amino acids in a balanced manner beneficial to babies to help shape and integrate the membrane cells, make antibodies (immune system), align the enzymes and hormones, repairing damaged tissues, boost brain function, or spur muscle coordination.
Well, essential amino acids can not be produced by the body so must mengasup food from outside. Foods rich in many essential amino acids found in animal protein sources such as meat, fish and eggs. Of course, if the baby underwent lacto ovo vegetarian diet, he can get the complete amino acid requirement through the egg and milk, as well as other vegetable sources (beans, soybeans, avocados, cereal, rice (paddy), wheat and beans sun) .
Accompanied by ASI
Unfortunately, when the infant underwent pure lacto vegetarian or vegetarian, could be a baby will experience a shortage of these essential amino acids. WHO (World Health Organization) revealed that proteins of animal origin such as milk, meat, eggs, cheese, and poultry contain amino acids in sufficient concentration. While proteins that are in the content of vegetables have a limited degree.
Except, little remained of mother's milk until age two years and he shall not be deprived of essential amino acids in breast milk because abortion is complete.
Even so, when Moms want to adopt a vegetarian diet to children from infancy, bijaklah choose the right kinds of vegetarian since the baby still in the process of growth and development. Instead, children do not immediately introduced to a pure vegetarian.
Talk To the Doctor
The data also revealed that infants who underwent a pure vegetarian diet, susceptible to the risk of infection in childhood - was found particularly in areas that are still "dirty or rundown."
Because the antibody levels in the body of a baby or child who underwent pure vegetarian is still far behind compared to children who are non-vegetarians.
There is also concern that vegetarian children vulnerable to iron deficiency. For example for a difficult infant or child to eat vegetables.
Therefore, when Moms want the baby to become vegetarian, had to learn all about baby nutrition and regular inspection to the doctor to determine if the child has enough nutrients or not.
Vegetarian, Better After Age 6 Years
Many studies have confirmed that being a vegetarian since early will bring further gains in the adult (above 30 years). Threat risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease very rarely found in people who apply vegetarian.
However, please note, the golden child growth (golden age period) lasts until the age of 3 years. That's when the child develops the optimum growth which reached 80 percent of brain development. Furthermore, children up to age 6 years, he will experience a period of brain assembly (formation of the brain).
dr. Adi suggested, if there is no obstacle, the trust or a particular establishment, parents should apply the four healthy food and five perfect until your child is 6 years old because it deals with development of the child who really need the content of essential amino acids for the formation of his brain.
Well, after 6 years of age children, only then can direct the child's Moms if you want to be a lacto ovo vegetarian, lacto vegetarian or pure vegetarian.
Stay Healthy and Active While Vegetarian
There are only two prerequisites to make your baby a healthy vegetarian and active:
1. Undergoing lacto ovo vegetarian diet, not a pure vegetarian. Combine well with the food menu includes eggs, milk and derivative products, groups of grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts.
2. Facilitate your child with the milk until the age of two years if adequate milk production Moms. If not, give him milk formula or soy milk formula because the content of infant formula has now been satisfied with the essential amino acids.

Global warming is nothing strange for us and is an issue that can open the eyes of all inhabitants of the earth for more attention where he lived, perhaps including us. In this case, the issue of global warming is not just struggling a scientific matter, he also played in terms of economics, sociology, geopolitics, to the lifestyle. Unfortunately, though has been detected since the beginning, this issue just got wide coverage in the 1990's. In Britain, The Times and the Guardian to discuss this issue only since 1989 - but still struggling a matter of scientific debate.
So what to do with global warming vegetarian? Before we know the connection with the prevention or vegetarian one way to minimize the damage that big, we should know what it is vegetarian. Vegetarian own term was created in 1847. Was first formally used on September 30 that year by Joseph Brotherton and others, at Northwood Villa, Kent, England. It was the inaugural meeting of the Vegetarian Society UK. This word comes from the Latin vegetus, which means the whole, healthy, fresh, live, (not connected with 'vegetable-Arian' - the myth of human life that is imagined entirely from vegetables but no nuts, fruits, grains, etc. .) Prior to 1847, those who do not eat meat are generally known as 'Pythagorean' or follow the 'Pythagorean System', according to Pythagoras 'vegetarian' of ancient Greece. The original definition of 'vegetarian' is with or without eggs or dairy products and this definition is still used by the Vegetarian Society today. However, most vegetarians in India exclude eggs into their diet, as well as those of the classical Mediterranean lands, as an example of Pythagoras. (Quoted from wikipedia)
Vegetarian and Global Warming
Apparently, the vegetarian can help us save the earth, even though no direct effect but at least we can slow the damage is greater. There are many reasons a person becomes a vegetarian, started from because he is an animal lover (Animal's Sake), Life is more colorful, such as vegetables and bauh fruits colorful, want to live / healthy for longer, weight stable, efficient and it is a benefit that can dirasaka immediately by Veg, but indirectly a vegetarian also help prevent global warming. Perhaps there are those among us who think why not, why vegetarians can prevent global warming? Would not like to eat vegetarian foods derived from plants, which also means that eventually damage the crop, causing global warming. Questions and questions that sound dilemma but apparently not, even from the statements and questions that we can affirm that vegetarians can prevent global warming.
Based on the facts revealed by FAO in 2006 explained that the meat is a commodity highest emitter of carbon dioxide (20%). It even exceeded the total combined emissions from all vehicles in the world. As it turns out livestock industry has resulted in 9% of toxic carbon dioxide, 65% nitrooksida, and 37% methane gas. In addition, the livestock industry also requires a lot of energy to turn livestock into meat ready for consumption. To produce 1 kg of meat just for example, produced 36.4 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
Also Vegetarians also can save energy, in which current or future energy becomes very expensive and the more energy is used it will also contribute to global warming (global warming). Currently, energy and food crisis spread to the entire face of the earth. One was to save energy by becoming vegetarian or at least reduce the sources of animal foods. As described above, raw animal foods require more energy consumption in the production and supply than plant foods. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, to make one handfuls of hamburger, for example, requires at least 1300 gallons of water. So, do not be surprised if the food products of animal and junk foods require more energy than by cultivating vegetables, fruit and beras.PP
You may wonder what part of the livestock sector which accounts for greenhouse gas emissions. The following outline according to FAO: a. Carbon emissions from the manufacture of animal feed: The use of fossil fuels in the manufacture of fertilizers contribute 41 million tonnes of CO2 each year, use of fossil fuels on the farm accounted for 90 million tonnes of CO2 per year (eg, diesel or LPG), transformation of land used for livestock contribute 2.4 billion tons of CO2 per year, including here the land is converted to grazing livestock, land that is converted to plant soybeans as animal feed, or the clearing of forests for farm land, carbon released from land cultivation for animal feed (eg maize , wheat, or soybeans) can reach 28 million of CO2 per year. You need to know, at least 80% of the soybean harvest and 50% of the world's corn crops used as animal feed, carbon released from grasslands into deserts because of eroded contributed 100 million tons of CO2 per year 2. Carbon emissions from animal digestive system b. Carbon emissions from livestock: Methane is released in the digestive process of animals to reach 86 million tons per year, Methane released from animal manure to reach 18 million tons per year.
From the above description, you can see the amount of the contribution of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming resulting from each component of the livestock sector. Now is our turn to be able to take a stand to keep our earth remains good down to our descendants later or we just want our descendants will feel the results of what we have done previously. There is no harm in trying because besides our bodies can be healthy, we also remain healthy earth for us to live without feeling anxious.

Vegetarianism is the practice of following a plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, mushrooms, with or without dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat meat, including red meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacea, and shellfish, and may also abstain from by-products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived rennet, found in some cheeses, and gelatin. Vegetarians may consume these or other unfamiliar animal ingredients unknowingly, however.
Vegetarianism may be adopted for ethical, health, environmental, religious, political, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or other reasons, and there are a number of vegetarian diets. A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, such as dairy products, eggs, and usually honey.
Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish or poultry, or other meats on an infrequent basis. Those with diets containing fish or poultry may define "meat" only as mammalian flesh and may identify with vegetarianism. A pescetarian diet, for example, includes "fish but no meat". The common use association between such diets and vegetarianism has led vegetarian groups such as the Vegetarian Society to state diets containing these ingredients are not vegetarian, because fish and birds are animals.
Varieties of vegetarianism
There are a number of types of vegetarianism, which exclude or include various foods.
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism includes animal products such as eggs, milk, and honey.
Lacto vegetarianism includes milk but not eggs.
Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not milk.
Veganism excludes all animal flesh and animal products, including milk, honey, eggs.
Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.
Fruitarianism permits only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
Su vegetarianism (such as in Buddhism), excludes all animal products as well as vegetables in the allium family (which have the characteristic aroma of onion and garlic): onion, garlic, scallions, leeks, or shallots.
Macrobiotic diets consist mostly of whole grains and beans.
Strict vegetarians also avoid products that may use animal ingredients not included in their labels or which use animal products in their manufacturing e.g. cheeses that use animal rennet (enzymes from animal stomach lining), gelatin (from animal skin, bones, and connective tissue), some sugars that are whitened with bone char (e.g. cane sugar, but not beet sugar) and alcohol clarified with gelatin or crushed shellfish and sturgeon.
Individuals may describe themselves as "vegetarian" while practicing a semi-vegetarian diet. In other cases, they may simply describe themselves as "flexitarians". These diets may be followed by those who reduce animal flesh consumed as a way of transitioning to a vegetarian diet or for health, environmental, or other reasons. The term "semi-vegetarian" is contested by most vegetarian groups, which state that vegetarians must exclude all animal flesh. Semi-vegetarian diets include pescetarianism, which includes fish and sometimes other seafood; pollotarianism, which includes poultry; and macrobiotic diets consisting mostly of whole grains and beans, but at times may include fish.
