Benefit becoming Vegetarian

The health benefits associated with vegetarianism go beyond simply having better eating habits. People who have been following a traditional vegetarian diet for many years may be healthier because they also tend to avoid or use less alcohol, caffeine and refined foods. They also tend to have other positive lifestyle habits including being more physically active, having less stressful lifestyles and being non-smokers.

A variety of studies have shown that the standard American meat- and dairy-centered diet is laden with saturated fats, and is low in fiber and excessively high in protein. This diet begins to clog the arteries in childhood, and puts our children on the road to heart attacks, strokes, cancer and obesity.

If we eat meat, did we know, an animal foods-based diet also significantly lacking in fiber and will, due to insufficient consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, most likely contain inadequate amounts of many vitamins and minerals.

In fact, the excessive amount of protein consumed in a meat-based diet has been shown to cause the loss of calcium into the urine. The body compensates for this loss by removing calcium from the bones. This is especially harmful during adolescence, a critical time for bone development. Young women reach full adult bone mass in the spinal and hip areas by the age of 20, so it’s important to promote the maximum absorption and retention of calcium.

Compare with it, a low fat, whole food vegetarian diet can easily provide your body adequate protein and a healthy supply of fiber, vitamins and minerals, including those (such as iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium and B6) that are often found lacking in many the diets of so many people.

If we enough strong to eat only vegetable based food, why we have to kill other life to satisfy our desire of eating. Be rational, be vegatrian is not only healthy, but it contains moral spirit: not tyo hurt other life, other people. Its the basic of love.
