Vegetarian Food

Lowered risk of cardiovascular disease and other medical problems

Vegetarian diet will include only vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, other legumes and sometimes dairy products and eggs. It will not include meat items which will contain large amount of cholesterols and other fatty acids at an excess level. Therefore, vegetarians are less likely to develop high cholesterol levels in the blood and thus the deposition of the same in blood vessels. The benefit of this would be the lowered risk in cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, stroke, kidney diseases as well as conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. But, it should be remembered that, there are many other medical problems which will be aided to be healed or controlled by consuming only vegetarian products.

-Leaner body size

Low caloric diets which will often be the norm for vegetarians can make them lot thinner than their non-vegetarian counterparts. When considering the disease manifestations among obese individuals, it is rather advantageous to be leaner by being vegetarian.

-Psychological relief

For some, the feeling of protecting life and not harming other living beings would be far greater than any other benefit received through being vegetarian. Furthermore, they will be able to engage in far greater efforts to protect life than the ones who are non vegetarian without a guilt and with more dignity and venom.

-Economical gains

A vegetarian shopping list is will most likely to cost far less than a non-veg shopping list and this can be a huge benefit when considering its long term effects on health as well as on the pocket for such individuals.
