Health and Vegetarians
A vegetarian diet is fashionable. Concern for a healthy and balanced diet, and the cult of the body, are moving many to switch to the benefits of a meatless diet. The question posed by this type of power is related to the possible deficiencies that may result from the lack of nutrients in animal foods.
The Vegetarian Society of England and the United States believes that a vegetarian diet provides only benefits to our body. For example, vegetarians are less likely to suffer heart disease and hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cancer, intestinal disorders, kidney stones and gall, and even osteoporosis.
There are some studies that prove that a vegetarian diet is quite healthy. Dickerson and Davies (1986) studied non-vegetarians and vegetarians, and found that those who would not eat meat unless the doctor and that his admissions were at times shorter than the ‘carnivores’.
