People become vegetarian for many reasons, from health concerns to environmental and ethical concerns. Some evidence shows a lower rate of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer among vegetarians, while other studies suggest that the vegetarians abstain from alcohol and smoking, maintain a healthy weight and are more active.
What vegetarian people can and can’t eat?
-There are different types of vegetarian: strict vegans who don’t eat animal products, and people who eat less meat or no red meat, but still eat chicken or fish. Most of the people fall between these two groups. Vegetarian diets tend to be full of nutrient-rich, higher in fibre, lower in fat, health grains, vegetables and fruits.
