Why to be Vegetarian - Benefits of being vegetarian

There has been a continuous debate between non-veggies and vegetarian people that which one is good. On one hand non-veggies says that veggies are missing the taste of the world and veggies says that why non-veggies are killing animals.

I took some time and tries to research benefits of being veggie. There is no offence to non-veggies here, it is just to show that vegetarian food has lots of benefits.

Listing some of them here:

1. Cancer Prevention

Its a proven fact that vegetarians have a reduced overall risk of Cancer, eating veggie food which is rich in fibers and nutrients. 

"Red meat and processed meat is consistently associated with increased risk of Colorectal Cancer.

2. Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Most of the deaths in non-veggies are due to heart diseases, as non veg is high in cholesterol; hence chances of heart diseases are more.

Consistently veggies have shown 24% less chances of Heart Diseases.

3. Weight Loss

Veggies have a lower BMI than non-veggies. As veggie food is rich in fibers and are low energy like fruits and vegetables.

4. Long life

A 12 year oxford study have found that veggies outlive non-veggies by atleast 6 years. Plant based diets are generally rich in fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which in turn strengthens the immune system and slows down aging process.

5. Avoid toxic materials

Non-veg food contains harmones, toxic materials in them and hence impacts the body of intakers. Not to mention the viruses, bacteria and parasites such as salmonella, trichinella and other worms and toxoplasmosis parasites.

6. Reduce Global Warming

The United Nations said in its 2006 report that livestock generate more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in world combined. Most of it comes from carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide gases generated by manure. Therefore, the single most important step an individual can take to reduce global warming to adopt a vegetarian diet.
