Vegetarians

There

are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the

environment, and the economy.

A

vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians

mostly eat fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians

also consume eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat products, such as

beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.

According

to research, vegetarians have a lower risk of heart disease, high cholesterol,

diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy

vegetarian diet, which has low fat but high fiber.

However,

a vegetarian diet can be high in fat if it includes excessive amounts of fatty

snacks, fried food, whole dairy products, and eggs.

At

the same time, a vegetarian diet can be simple and easy to prepare. Therefore,

a vegetarian diet must be well-planned to prevent and treat certain diseases.
