Nutritional habits are changing day by day. In some countries, these habits are quite different from those in our country. Many countries have traditional dishes made from insects. However, there are people in our country who cannot tolerate even seeing insects, let alone eating insects.
In the past days, a research has emerged that insects can be the food of the future. Although we do not think that it will be preferred much in our country, a new study revealed today that insect consumption is both beneficial to human health and environmentally friendly.
Minced meat and meat products will be produced from insects in a laboratory environment
We do not know if we will see insects in our traditional dishes in the future. However, a study conducted at the University of Helsinki highlights that consuming insects as food is healthier in many ways. Researchers say that the consumption of animal food greatly harms the environment. It is stated that many more alternative foods that can be consumed instead of animal foods can be developed and these may be much more common in the future. Among the alternative food suggestions of the researchers; There are ground insects and grasshoppers, egg whites from chicken cells, seaweed called kelp, protein powders from fungi and microbes, edible algae and milk from cells, meat and forest fruits.
Experts say that the widespread consumption of artificial meat and insects produced in the laboratory will reduce carbon emissions and the damage to nature can be reduced by more than 80%. In addition, it is another subject of the research that the vegan diet is similarly environmentally friendly, but the new foods are much richer in protein. Researchers emphasize that people who want to diet can lose weight or build muscle much more easily with the help of such foods. Of course, the research team is aware that it is not very possible for people to make such a radical change in their eating habits in a short time. However, these foods may become much more normal in the future.
Many experts on the subject say that the research is very useful and new foods that can be consumed are promising. In our previous articles, we told you that vegan nutrition is very beneficial not only for humans but also for dogs. New research shows that a new type of diet that is just as beneficial as a vegan diet may soon take over the world. So, what do you think about this? Would you like to try new foods?
