上面这个姑娘名叫virpi mikkonen,今年38岁。(也有媒体称39岁)
virpi来自芬兰,是instagram上大名鼎鼎的美食博主。她提倡吃素,出版过好几本自创的素食食谱。

virpi的笔名是“vanelja”,在ins上有16.45万粉丝。她是一名备受赞誉的博主和创业者,提倡植物性饮食(吃素)。她写过4本烹饪书,包括做冰淇淋、披萨和蛋糕的素食替代品。
though based in finland, she writes her blog and best-selling books in english, and this, together with pretty photos of her recipes on instagram, has earned her a sizeable following among british foodies。 vogue called her ‘social media gold’。

来看看她做的素食披萨,是这样的:
……看上去非常“绿色”。
不过,这位颇有名气的素食爱好者,却因为常年吃素的习惯,身体悄悄发生了变化……
early last year, virpi mikkonen was alarmed by the appearance of a rash on her face。
去年年初,virpi mikkonen被她脸上冒出的皮疹吓到了。
there were other problems: a bout of flu that was hard to shift; crumbling nails; feeling low; and, most worrying, her periods stopped。
其他的问题也来了:病去如抽丝的流感;快要脱落的指甲;低落的情绪……最让她担心的是,她停经了。
a blood test revealed her follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) levels had sky-rocketed to the level at which women hit the menopause。 virpi was 37 and having hot flushes。
验血显示,她的卵泡刺激素水平已飙升至女性更年期水平。那时virpi37岁,伴有潮热的情况。
‘i thought, what’s wrong with me? i am healthy, i exercise,’ virpi says。 ‘i was really scared。’
“我想……我怎么了?我很健康,还锻炼身体的啊,”virpi说。“我真的被吓到了。”

担惊受怕的virpi,去向一位中医专家寻求帮助。专家告诉她:你必须开始吃肉了!
virpi说,当时她都“呆住了”:我几乎15年没吃肉了!(“。。。the blogger had barely eaten meat for 15 years — virpi admitted she was “shocked” at the advice。” - new york post)
不过,虽然对吃肉依然很抵抗,但为了自己的“大姨妈”,为了身体能恢复健康,virpi逐渐吃起了肉制品,甚至……开始啃汉堡包了。

开始吃肉后,效果也是相当喜人:
explaining the effects were dramatic, not only did virpi feel more energetic — sleeping better and noticing an increase in motivation — her periods also returned and the hot flushes stopped。
(吃肉后的)效果是极为明显的。virpi解释说,她不仅感觉精力更充沛了——睡得更香了情绪也改善了——她的月经也回来了,潮热症状也停止了。

emmmm。。。。无论纯吃素对身体是否真的有害,先恭喜这姑娘身体好转了。
只不过,这个曾经的“素食博主”,是否会因此转行呢?
