Vegetarianism reduces many diseases 1
Green lifestyle not only brings many benefits to the surrounding environment but is also good for health.
Stay healthy with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and limit your daily meat intake.
Maintain a healthy weight
A large-scale 5-year study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics showed that vegetarians have a lower average BMI than people who eat meat.
In 2013, scientists proved that overweight or obese people lost weight more effectively after adopting a vegetarian diet than the group that continued to eat meat, even though both groups consumed the same amount of calories.
In addition, saturated fats, often derived from meat and dairy, increase blood cholesterol levels, leading to an increased risk of heart disease.
Lower blood pressure
Vegetarians are less likely to become victims of high blood pressure, according to a publication in the journal Public Health Nutrition.
Reduce the risk of diabetes
According to research conducted by the American Diabetes Association, vegetarians are less likely to develop metabolic syndrome, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart attack.
Lower the risk of cancer
In 2002, scientists at Loma Linda University (USA) began a 10-year study of 70,000 people following a meat-free menu.
Researchers also found that vegetarianism significantly reduces colorectal cancer and breast cancer in women.
Improve digestive function
Eating lots of green vegetables and beans increases the amount of fiber your body absorbs daily.
Keep skin always youthful
Vegetarianism is one of the best diets for the skin.
Improve body odor
A meat-free diet makes the body smell more pleasant and attractive to the opposite sex, according to research published in Chemical Senses.
More cheerful mood
Fruits and vegetables are very effective natural mood enhancers.
